Letting the Light of Love Shine Brighter

I feel the Love of God within me now.

There is a light in you the world can not perceive. ²And with its eyes you will not see this light, for you are blinded by the world. ³Yet you have eyes to see it. ⁴It is there for you to look upon. ⁵It was not placed in you to be kept hidden from your sight. ⁶This light is a reflection of the thought we practice now. ⁷To feel the Love of God within you is to see the world anew, shining in innocence, alive with hope, and blessed with perfect charity and love.

Who could feel fear in such a world as this? ²It welcomes you, rejoices that you came, and sings your praises as it keeps you safe from every form of danger and of pain. ³It offers you a warm and gentle home in which to stay a while. ⁴It blesses you throughout the day, and watches through the night as silent guardian of your holy sleep. ⁵It sees salvation in you, and protects the light in you, in which it sees its own.

⁵If you feel the Love of God within you, you will look out on a world of mercy and of love. (A Course in Miracles, W-189.1:1–2:5;5:5. See also ACIM Lesson 189 Insights.)

Only our wish for specialness keeps us from seeing the presence of Love in everyone, everywhere. This wish for specialness appears as bodies and myriad forms. It brings with it the ideas of time and space which reinforce the perception of separation that is required to make specialness seem real.

This is what we must forgive, with the Holy Spirit’s help. His vision looks past form, for it does not give form reality. It sees only Love.

As we practice choosing Christ’s vision, the Light of Love shines brighter in our world. Our unity with every brother becomes more clear. Forgiveness welcomes Love and appearances that cause fear diminish. We feel the Love of God within. Joy replaces sadness. Gratitude fills our heart, for we remember we dwell in Love.

Remembering God’s Love Is Ours

If you are trusting in your own strength, you have every reason to be apprehensive, anxious and fearful. ²What can you predict or control? ³What is there in you that can be counted on? ⁴What would give you the ability to be aware of all the facets of any problem, and to resolve them in such a way that only good can come of it? ⁵What is there in you that gives you the recognition of the right solution, and the guarantee that it will be accomplished?

Of yourself you can do none of these things.

God is your safety in every circumstance. ²His Voice speaks for Him in all situations and in every aspect of all situations, telling you exactly what to do to call upon His strength and His protection.

…reach down into your mind to a place of real safety. ²You will recognize that you have reached it if you feel a sense of deep peace, however briefly. …There is a place in you where there is perfect peace. ⁵There is a place in you where nothing is impossible. ⁶There is a place in you where the strength of God abides.

³Remember that peace is your right, because you are giving your trust to the strength of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-47.1:1–2:1;3:1-2;7:1-2,4-6;8:3. See also ACIM Lesson 47 Insights.)

The Course tells us repeatedly that God is always with us. We are never alone. He has given His Son all His attributes. He goes with us wherever we go.

These thoughts are repeated so often because we have believed the opposite. We have taught ourselves to believe in the ego’s lies. But we have another Teacher, given us by God, Whose lesson is that God’s strength is ours. He sees every moment of every day as opportunities to teach this lesson.

We will learn His lesson if we do not let our mind wander. Every moment in which we feel any level of distress or unhappiness is a reminder to accept the Holy Spirit’s lesson. We are not alone. We are safe. We are loved. We are whole and complete, at Home in God.

Remembering Our Strength Is in Love

There is nothing to fear.

The idea for today simply states a fact. ²It is not a fact to those who believe in illusions, but illusions are not facts. ³In truth there is nothing to fear. ⁴It is very easy to recognize this. ⁵But it is very difficult to recognize it for those who want illusions to be true.

The presence of fear is a sure sign that you are trusting in your own strength. ²The awareness that there is nothing to fear shows that somewhere in your mind, though not necessarily in a place you recognize as yet, you have remembered God, and let His strength take the place of your weakness. ³The instant you are willing to do this there is indeed nothing to fear. (A Course in Miracles, W-48.1:1-5;3:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 48 Insights.)

The ego is a thought that denies Reality. It is nothing more than an illusion. It has no strength of its own because it has denied the Source of all strength. The ego’s presence in our mind depends only on our belief and allegiance to it.

Our fear always comes from believing an appearance is real. Yet all appearances are illusions made by the ego. The Reality of Love has no form and cannot have an appearance. The Light of Love dispels all appearances and reveals our oneness with our Creator. This fact revealed makes it clear that we have nothing to fear.

God’s strength is ours. There is nothing real that opposes it. When illusions are dispelled, we are certain of our invulnerability. We rest in God. Today we ask for Christ’s vision to help us see past illusions to Love’s presence.
