A day devoted now to gratitude will add the benefit of some insight into the real extent of all the gains which you have made; the gifts you have received. Be glad today, in loving thankfulness, your Father has not left you to yourself, nor let you wander in the dark alone. Be grateful He has saved you from the self you thought you made to take the place of Him and His creation. Give Him thanks today.
Give thanks that He has not abandoned you, and that His Love forever will remain shining on you, forever without change. Give thanks as well that you are changeless, for the Son He loves is changeless as Himself. Be grateful you are saved. Be glad you have a function in salvation to fulfill.
Today we smile on everyone we see, and walk with lightened footsteps as we go to do what is appointed us to do.
Receive His thanks, and you will understand how lovingly He holds you in His Mind, how deep and limitless His care for you, how perfect is His gratitude to you. Remember hourly to think of Him, and give Him thanks for everything He gave His Son, that he might rise above the world, remembering his Father and his Self. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 123,W-pI.123.2:1-3:4;4:3;8. See also ACIM Lesson 123 Insights.)
Because we are as changeless as our Creator, we only need to be saved from the illusion of a separate self we have made up. We need only accept the truth to know that we are free of the limitations of the ego thought system.
While we believe we are a limited self, it is helpful to be assured that our Creator still Loves us without limit or condition. As we express gratitude for the certainty of God’s Love, it reinforces the truth of this in our troubled mind. Everything that disturbs our peace, seems to be cause for guilt or fear, comes solely from believing in a false identity.
We are grateful today that no matter what we may dream, the dream cannot change our Reality. Though we may seem to be alone in our dream, our Creator is still with us in our mind. The certainty of God’s Love in our mind guarantees our safety. We can rest assured that we are safe in the Heart of God.
