Finding What We Really Want

Today we will again give thanks for our Identity in God. Our home is safe, protection guaranteed in all we do, power and strength available to us in all our undertakings. We can fail in nothing. Everything we touch takes on a shining light that blesses and that heals. At one with God and with the universe we go our way rejoicing, with the thought that God Himself goes everywhere with us. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.124.1)

What do we really want? We may believe we want a partner who loves us, the right job, more money or any number of things in the world. But we’ve all had the experience of getting things or circumstances we thought we wanted, only to find they did not satisfy. Perhaps they did briefly, but they did not last. These things in the world are just empty images which are incapable of offering what we really want.

All we really want is the Love that is already given us. We do not recognize the Love we have and are because we are looking for it in forms where it cannot be found. The Love we seek is already in us. We need only look within to find It.

To find what we really want, the only thing that can truly satisfy, we need to follow the Guide That can lead us out of the quagmire of self-deception we have made up.

Holy Spirit, I take your Hand today. Lead me to see past the false images to the eternal Presence of Love. Show me the Love in my brothers so that I may see It in myself. Help me to recognize the meaninglessness of the false images so that I can let them go. Today I would follow in gratitude.
