I seek my own Identity, and find It in these words: “Love, which created me, is what I am.” Now need I seek no more. Love has prevailed. So still It waited for my coming home, that I will turn away no longer from the holy face of Christ. And what I look upon attests the truth of the Identity I sought to lose, but which my Father has kept safe for me.
Father, my thanks to You for what I am; for keeping my Identity untouched and sinless, in the midst of all the thoughts of sin my foolish mind made up. And thanks to You for saving me from them. Amen. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 229, W-pII.229. See also ACIM Lesson 229 Insights.)
The ego is the denial of Love, the wish to be separate and special. Fortunately, denying Love has no effect on Love at all; it only makes us unaware of Love. So almost everyone in the world is seeking for Love. But all the ego offers is empty substitutes that never satisfy. Love cannot be found in a world made by the denial of Love.
Love is not lost. We can find the Love we seek by looking where it can be found — in the part of our mind that remembers we remain Love as Love created us. The Holy Spirit is the bridge between the part of our mind that identifies with the ego and the truth that we are Love. As we choose to follow Holy Spirit’s guidance and accept His vision instead of the images the ego mind makes, we awaken to our Identity as Love.
