We do not choose the way in which we go to Him. But we do choose to let Him come. And with this choice we rest. And in our quiet hearts and open minds, His Love will blaze its pathway of itself. What has not been denied is surely there, if it be true and can be surely reached. God knows His Son, and knows the way to him. He does not need His Son to show Him how to find His way. Through every opened door His Love shines outward from its home within, and lightens up the world in innocence.
Father, we do not know the way to You. But we have called, and You have answered us. We will not interfere. Salvation’s ways are not our own, for they belong to You. And it is unto You we look for them. Our hands are open to receive Your gifts. We have no thoughts we think apart from You, and cherish no beliefs of what we are, or Who created us. Yours is the way that we would find and follow. And we ask but that Your Will, which is our own as well, be done in us and in the world, that it become a part of Heaven now. Amen. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 189, W-pI.189.9-10. See also ACIM Lesson 189 Insights.)
The Home of God’s Love is within us. It is our true Self. We are unaware of this Presence within because we have closed it off with beliefs and images that we are separate from God’s Love. These beliefs and images define what we think we are, leaving us feeling that we lack Love. Without Love, the world we perceive is dark and we seem vulnerable to myriad outside forces. Yet all the time the Love and strength of God is in us.
We open the inner doors and windows to let the Light of Love shine forth by letting go of our beliefs that make us seem separate and alone. The Light of Love shines away the shadow images in the darkness revealing the presence of Love everywhere, in everything. The Love within us joins with that Love that is everywhere and we experience the joy of the eternal flow of Love. The Love of God is already in us. We simply need to remove the barriers that have hidden It from our awareness. God’s plan for salvation is the means to release us from the self-imposed limitations that have kept us in fear and guilt.
Today we acknowledge that only His plan will work. We are willing to lay aside all our ideas about how to be safe and happy. We are willing to receive His plan and accept the Holy Spirit’s help to follow His plan and open to the eternal Light of Love within.
