One evening, I had planned on going to our Course in Miracles meeting, but intuition kept holding me at the gallery until well past the starting time. Although numerous people came in and a few sales were made, nothing seemed worthy of keeping me from people of like mind sharing good food and inspiration. Some time after seven o'clock, I started to close up and was turning off the lights when a woman came in the door, in tears, asking if I'd found her wallet. She had been in earlier in the day, but had no idea where she may have left all her credit cards and money. She said her husband was very angry with her because they'd had their "identity stolen" a few years before and he was worried it would happen again. We retraced her steps and found her wallet in a print rack. While she was very grateful to have found her things, she was still very fearful because of her husband's reactions concerning things from the past. After she left, I realized what I'd kept repeating to her: You're good. You're good. I'm not sure why I was saying this, but hopefully she knows! This incident has shown me how living in the past is the only place fear exists, and that living in the now allows loving reality to shine forth as our only reality.
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"The Apostle John says: 'There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casteth out fear. . . . He that feareth is not made perfect in Love.' Here is a definite and inspired proclamation of Christian Science."
