Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real

Hear, O children of the heart, the words of Marianne Williamson, who proclaimed: “Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle.” These words, though simple, open a doorway into the mystery of life itself. For what we often call a miracle is not merely the breaking of natural law or the dazzling of the senses—it is the shining forth of love, pure and unselfish, flowing into the world.

The meaning of this teaching is profound: miracles are not rare interruptions of nature, but the natural fruit of a heart filled with love. When kindness is given, when forgiveness is offered, when compassion transforms hatred into peace, there we behold a miracle. It is not lightning from the heavens nor fire from the earth, but the unseen hand of love, shaping reality in ways that reason alone cannot explain. In Williamson’s vision, love is the root, and the miracle is its flower.

The origin of this wisdom lies in the spiritual traditions that teach love as the highest law. In the Gospels it is said that God is love, and that all wonders flow from this divine source. In the East, the sages taught that compassion is the path to enlightenment, and that to act with true mercy is to bring heaven into the world. Williamson, drawing upon this lineage, reminds us that every act of love—great or small—is in truth a miracle, for it has the power to heal, to unite, and to renew.

Consider the story of Mother Teresa, who walked the streets of Calcutta and gathered the dying from the gutters. To the world, her work may have seemed small—washing wounds, holding hands, whispering prayers. Yet for those she touched, these acts were miracles, not because they defied the laws of nature, but because they revealed the law of love. Where others saw only despair, she brought dignity. Where others turned away, she embraced. Her life is proof that everything that comes from love is a miracle.

Think also of Abraham Lincoln, who, in the midst of civil war, spoke words of reconciliation rather than vengeance: “With malice toward none, with charity for all.” In choosing love over hatred, forgiveness over retaliation, he performed a miracle greater than any display of power. For his words did not only guide a nation—they healed wounds that might have festered for generations. The miracle was not in politics, but in the love that inspired such mercy.

O seekers of tomorrow, learn this: the world is not barren of miracles. You need not wait for seas to part or stars to fall from the sky. The miracle is already near, hidden in your acts of kindness, in your words of comfort, in your decision to love when it is hardest. Every smile to the sorrowful, every hand extended to the weary, every word spoken in forgiveness is a miracle, for it changes reality, turns despair into hope, and reveals the divine spark that dwells within us all.

Practical wisdom calls you: do not ask, “Where are the miracles?” but ask, “Where can I give love?” Sow compassion in your family, and you will see miracles in your home. Give encouragement to the struggling, and you will see miracles in their strength. Offer forgiveness where there is bitterness, and you will see miracles of reconciliation. Train your heart to act with love, and you will walk daily among wonders greater than any marvels of nature.

Therefore, remember Williamson’s teaching: “The real miracle is the love that inspires them.” Cherish love as your highest power, and let it be the wellspring of all your actions. For when you live in love, miracles cease to be rare—they become the natural rhythm of your life. And in this way, your very existence will become a miracle, a shining testimony to the eternal truth: that love is the greatest force in the universe, and from it all blessings flow.
