Love Is the Way We Walk in Gratitude

Your gratitude is due to Him alone Who made all cause of sorrow disappear throughout the world, …Who offers you the certain means whereby all pain is healed, and suffering replaced with laughter and with happiness.

Love makes no comparisons. And gratitude can only be sincere if it be joined to love. We offer thanks to God our Father that in us all things will find their freedom.

Let your gratitude make room for all who will escape with you; the sick, the weak, the needy and afraid, and those who mourn a seeming loss or feel apparent pain, who suffer cold or hunger, or who walk the way of hatred and the path of death. All these go with you. Let us not compare ourselves with them, for thus we split them off from our awareness of the unity we share with them, as they must share with us.

God gives thanks to you, His Son, for being what you are; His Own completion and the Source of love, along with Him. Your gratitude to Him is one with His to you. For love can walk no road except the way of gratitude, and thus we go who walk the way to God. (, A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 195,W-pI.195.1:7;2:2;4:2-4;5:2-3;10:4-5. See also ACIM Lesson 195 Insights.)

God is One and all that is real. Therefore, His Son, His Creation, remains one with Him. In His Oneness, we share all of His Love. There is nothing else. In the recognition of our oneness in Love, gratitude is inevitable. Gratitude is an aspect of Love, just as peace and happiness.

We are naturally grateful for what makes us happy. And only God’s Love makes us truly happy. To know this happiness, we must recognize our oneness with God and all His Creation, our brothers. We are one and the same. There can be no differences in God’s oneness and thus there is nothing to compare.

Only the ego makes comparisons because the ego makes up images of differences that could never be real. This is why we must practice making no comparisons and asking our inner Teacher to help us see our oneness in Love beyond the ego’s images. This is how we walk the way of gratitude.
