Today I let Christ’s vision look upon
All things for me and judge them not, but give
Each one a miracle of love instead.So would I liberate all things I see, and give to them the freedom that I seek. For thus do I obey the law of love, and give what I would find and make my own. It will be given me, because I have chosen it as the gift I want to give. Father, Your gifts are mine. Each one that I accept gives me a miracle to give. And giving as I would receive, I learn Your healing miracles belong to me.
Our Father knows our needs. He gives us grace to meet them all. And so we trust in Him to send us miracles to bless the world, and heal our minds as we return to Him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 349, W-pII.349. See also ACIM Lesson 349 Insights.)
The world we experience with the body is the effect of denying God’s gift of perfect Love. It comes with the belief that to give is to lose and what we receive is taken from the giver.
But in the reality of God’s Love, giving and receiving are the same because Love is one. Thus to accept and experience God’s gift of Love we must give It. This is the full circle demonstration of giving and receiving are the same. When we accept Christ’s vision, which sees innocence with nonjudgment, we see the innocence in ourselves.
This is why the Course puts so much emphasis on reminding us that giving and receiving are the same. As we practice seeing innocence with Christ’s vision and extending Love to all, we learn of our own innocence and Love. We free ourselves from guilt and fear as we free our brothers.
Today we practice choosing Christ’s vision all through the day.
