Dear Miracle Workers

I’ve been praying for a new love – a partner – someone like-minded to hang out with and share this life journey. I’m very happy on my own, being single for many years, enjoying life. But still, there has always been a feeling that I would be even happier with a partner again. I love what I do for work and play, and I have many friends and family – realizing I am blessed with love and happiness, and none of us are alone.

So now that I’ve met someone (and feel good about that) why is there a sense of fear coming up? I wonder if this could really be a love that will last forever, having a few that didn’t work out as I imagined.

It’s interesting when fear and doubt come up from the past, when the ego-mind tries to warn us and sabotage happiness. I realize that fear is a choice and not what I choose now. I remember to be present, to let go of past relationships ⏤ to forgive and allow new love to be expressed uniquely as it is. As love just is Love.

My prayers have been answered. All the attributes of my perfect partner are being checked off my list. We seem to be a great fit, and this feeling of love is mutual. The timing is perfect for us both, So in this moment, I’m grateful for being happy and in love again. I’m grateful for A Course In Miracles for reminding me to let go and let love, to forgive the past, and to know that our natural state of being is Love.

All fear is past because its source is gone and all its thoughts gone with it. Love remains the only present state .... (OrEd.W.293.1)
