Magic is illusion. Miracles are reality.

I don't need to define Magic.  You already know it isn't real.

Magical thinking gets confused with Miracle mindedness.

Both are surreal in the sense that they seem larger than life, or out of the norm.

Miracles are already part of the design of reality.  It is perception, the same perception that fools the mind into believing Magic, that prevents the mind from seeing Miracles.

The mind trusts its senses, its perception of reality, and that flaw is what opens the door to Magic, simultaneously closing the door to Miracles.

Take an example, electricity.  Did man invent it, or merely discover electricity?  Isn't it already part of the design and fabric of existence?  What happened was the open mind finally perceived it and created a use (many uses) for it.

The first time a "new" idea is perceived, it appears to be foolish to those who cannot or have not perceived it as yet.  Why should that stop you if you have eyes to see and ears that hear?  It is your gift to share with the world, to enlighten the darkness.

The way to Miracle mindedness is an open mind, one that approaches each moment with the eyes of a child, always giving a fresh look to old ideas and scenarios.

Luke 18:15-17

15  And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when hisdisciples saw it, they rebuked them.

16  But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

17  Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
