Ultimately everyone must remember the Will of God, because ultimately everyone must recognize himself. This recognition is the recognition that his will and God’s are one. In the presence of truth, there are no unbelievers and no sacrifices. In the security of reality, fear is totally meaningless. To deny what is can only seem to be fearful. Fear cannot be real without a cause, and God is the only Cause. God is Love and you do want Him. This is your will. Ask for this and you will be answered, because you will be asking only for what belongs to you.
The fact that God is Love does not require belief, but it does require acceptance. It is indeed possible for you to deny facts, although it is impossible for you to change them. If you hold your hands over your eyes, you will not see because you are interfering with the laws of seeing. If you deny love, you will not know [love] because your cooperation is the law of its being. You cannot change laws you did not make, and the laws of happiness were created for you, not by you.
And if you do distort reality you will experience anxiety, depression and ultimately panic, because you are trying to make yourself unreal. When you feel these things, do not try to look beyond yourself for truth, for truth can only be within you. Say, therefore:
Christ is in me, and where He is God must be, for Christ is part of Him. (A Course in Miracles, T-9.I.9;11:5-9;14:4-7. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
If change is possible, harm is possible. We were created in a changeless Universe of Love. This changelessness guarantees our protection from harm. This is our Home, where we are guaranteed our safety and fear is impossible.
The presence of fear is a sure sign that we believe we are not at Home and are separate from the safety of God’s Love. We believe our will is to be in this loveless place, unprotected by God’s Love. Yet what has no opposite could never exist in Reality. Thus we are blind to the Love that is ours by God’s Will and think we have a will that opposes God’s.
This “will” imagines a world that pictures separation, seeming to make it real. This world could never be in truth. Though we seem to exist in a fearful, changing world, the truth of our unity with God remains within us. It is this Truth within that we must seek if we would free ourselves from the mistaken belief in being separate.
Let us pause frequently today and go within to the peaceful place where our true Self abides. Here we will be reminded that we are safe at Home in Love. Then let us bring this remembrance to the world. From this place we see the Christ in everyone.
