Taking Down the Wall of Grievances with Love

Your picture of the world can only mirror what is within. The source of neither light nor darkness can be found without. Grievances darken your mind, and you look out on a darkened world. Forgiveness lifts the darkness, reasserts your will, and lets you look upon a world of light. We have repeatedly emphasized that the barrier of grievances is easily passed, and cannot stand between you and your salvation.

Above all else, you want the freedom to remember Who you really are. Today it is the ego that stands powerless before your will. Your will is free, and nothing can prevail against it.

…tell yourself with gentle firmness and quiet certainty:

I will there be light. Let me behold the light that reflects God’s Will and mine. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 73, W-pI.73.5:1-5;7:5-7;10:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 73 Insights.)

We share God’s Will to be and extend the Light of Love. The ego is a wish to make a world of separation and convince the Son of God to believe it is our reality. To do this it must offer a substitute image to replace the Son God created. This substitute manifests as a body, distinct and separate from other bodies. This could only seem to be real in a world shut off from the Light of Love.

To keep this world hidden the ego builds a wall of grievances which reinforce the belief that its image of our self is separate from everyone and everything. This little self is weak, vulnerable and isolated, lonely and afraid. It is not the Will of God that such a world be real, nor is it our true will.

We take down the wall the ego made to hide from the Light of Love through forgiveness. Each time we forgive a grievance, a perceived loss or fear of future harm, we let more of the Light of Love enter our mind.

We do this with the help of the Holy Spirit. We need only be willing to accept His help to see past the ego’s made-up images to the Light of Love that is ever present in our minds. As we welcome this Light, we look upon a world of Light where innocence is seen in all things. This real world reflects the Light of Heaven.

Finding the Love We Thought We Lost

Today belongs to love. Let me not fear.

Father, today I would let all things be as You created them, and give Your Son the honor due his sinlessness; the love of brother to his brother and his Friend. Through this I am redeemed. Through [Love] as well the truth will enter where illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and Your Son will know he is as You created him.

A special blessing comes to us today, from Him Who is our Father. Give this day to Him, and there will be no fear today, because the day is given unto love. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 274, W-pII.274. See also ACIM Lesson 274 Insights.)

The choice to identify with the ego or God as our Source is the choice between fear and Love. Fear can only occur if illusions of separation are believed to be real. Yet our true Self lives in the Love of God where fear is impossible.

Today we practice asking of everything, “How would Love perceive this? How would Love respond to this?” As we let Love guide our thoughts, words and actions, we choose a path of peace. Fear recedes in the presence of the Light of Love. As we follow Love’s lead, we become messengers of Love in a world hungry for Love. We become God’s channels of Love to the world searching to find the Love that has never been lost.
