Accepting the Love That Created Us

There are not different kinds of life, for life is like the truth. ²It does not have degrees. ³It is the one condition in which all that God created share. ⁴Like all His Thoughts, it has no opposite. ⁵There is no death because what God created shares His life. ⁶There is no death because an opposite to God does not exist. ⁷There is no death because the Father and the Son are one.

Death is the thought that you are separate from your Creator. ²It is the belief conditions change, emotions alternate because of causes you cannot control, you did not make, and you can never change. ³[Death] is the fixed belief ideas can leave their source, and take on qualities the source does not contain, becoming different from their own origin, apart from it in kind as well as distance, time and form.

His holy home we strive to keep today as He established it, and wills it be forever and forever. ²He is Lord of what we think today. ³And in His Thoughts, which have no opposite, we understand there is one life, and that we share with Him…

We share one life because we have one Source, a Source from which perfection comes to us, remaining always in the holy minds which He created perfect. ²As we were, so are we now and will forever be. (A Course in Miracles, W-167.1;4;11:1-3;12:1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 167 Insights.)

It is good news that our true Self remains as our Father created It. He shares His Life with all His creation eternally. It guarantees that our true Identity as His Son can never die. We are eternally safe in His Love.

Today we practice forgiving our perceptions of differences which blind us to the reality of the Identity we share with God. Our heart’s singular desire is to accept the Love that created us by extending Love to all without limit.

Bringing God’s Peace to the World

You rest within the peace of God today, and call upon your brothers from your rest to draw them to their rest, along with you. ²You will be faithful to your trust today, forgetting no one, bringing everyone into the boundless circle of your peace, the holy sanctuary where you rest. ³Open the temple doors and let them come from far across the world, and near as well; your distant brothers and your closest friends; bid them all enter here and rest with you.

You rest within the peace of God today, quiet and unafraid. ²Each brother comes to take his rest, and offer it to you. ³We rest together here, for thus our rest is made complete, and what we give today we have received already. ⁴Time is not the guardian of what we give today. ⁵We give to those unborn and those passed by, to every Thought of God, and to the Mind in which these Thoughts were born and where they rest. ⁶And we remind them of their resting place each time we tell ourselves, “I rest in God. (A Course in Miracles, W-109.8–9. See also ACIM Lesson 109 Insights.)

The universal Love of God is eternally one and the same throughout. To rest within God’s peace, we must forgive all our perceptions of differences. As we learn to recognize every brother as one with us in the Self that is God’s Son, we become givers of gifts of happiness and peace. We are certain of our safety and know that all our needs are met. We remind ourselves that this is so each time we affirm “I rest in God.”

Demonstrating Our Acceptance of God’s Will

²He needs our voice that He may speak through us. ³He needs our hands to hold His messages, and carry them to those whom He appoints. ⁴He needs our feet to bring us where He wills, that those who wait in misery may be at last delivered. ⁵And He needs our will united with His Own, that we may be the true receivers of the gifts He gives.

²I am among the ministers of God, and I am grateful that I have the means by which to recognize that I am free.

The world recedes as we light up our minds [with Love], and realize these holy words are true. ²They are the message sent to us today from our Creator. ³Now we demonstrate how they have changed our minds about ourselves, and what our function is. ⁴For as we prove that we accept no will we do not share, our many gifts from our Creator will spring to our sight and leap into our hands, and we will recognize what we received. (A Course in Miracles, W-154.11:2-5;13:2–14:4. See also ACIM Lesson 154 Insights.)

We cannot know the power of God’s Love while we believe we have a will different from our Father’s. This is the error that is corrected as we let the Holy Spirit guide all our thoughts and actions in the dream.

This acceptance is demonstrated as we let Him guide our hands, our feet our words and thoughts. We become God’s messengers as we join our will with His. We remember that our True Self is Love and nothing else.

As we demonstrate our True Self in the world, we are God’s ministers, and learn that we are blessed with all of His gifts.

Learning the Holy Spirit’s Lessons in Love

I can attack but my own sinlessness, and it is only that which keeps me safe.

Father, Your Son is holy. ²I am he on whom You smile in love and tenderness so dear and deep and still the universe smiles back on You, and shares Your Holiness. ³How pure, how safe, how holy, then, are we, abiding in Your Smile, with all Your Love bestowed upon us, living one with You, in brotherhood and Fatherhood complete; in sinlessness so perfect that the Lord of Sinlessness conceives us as His Son, a universe of Thought completing Him.

Let us not, then, attack our sinlessness, for it contains the Word of God to us. ²And in its kind reflection we are saved. (A Course in Miracles, W-341. See also ACIM Lesson 341 Insights.)

If we judge anyone, it is only because we see them as different from ourselves. This is self attack because we it means we believe we are separate from the Love of God. We are denying God’s Will for us which keeps us eternally united with all in His Love.

We have, in our mind, One who can interpret all our perceptions on our behalf. His interpretations show us that all differences are not real. As we accept our inner Teacher’s lessons, we learn to see our innocence reflected back to us by everyone. This is our path to peace and happiness.

Accepting Our Father’s Gift of His Love

⁵It is not our part to judge our worth, nor can we know what role is best for us; what we can do within a larger plan we cannot see in its entirety. ⁶Our part is cast in Heaven, not in hell.

Whatever your appointed role may be, it was selected by the Voice for God, Whose function is to speak for you as well. ²Seeing your strengths exactly as they are, and equally aware of where they can be best applied, for what, to whom and when, He chooses and accepts your part for you.

It is through His ability to hear one Voice which is His Own that you become aware at last there is one Voice in you. ²And that one Voice appoints your function, and relays it to you, giving you the strength to understand it, do what it entails, and to succeed in everything you do that is related to it. ³God has joined His Son in this, and thus His Son becomes His messenger of unity with Him.

²It is this Voice which speaks of laws the world does not obey; which promises salvation from all sin, with guilt abolished in the mind that God created sinless. ³Now this mind becomes aware again of Who created it, and of His lasting union with itself. ⁴So is its Self the one reality in which its will and that of God are joined. (A Course in Miracles, W-154.1:5-6;2:1-2;3;4:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 154 Insights.)

We are not a separate self, different from all others. In truth we are one Self, united in the oneness of God’s Love. This unity guarantees that no matter what we may dream in a mistaken wish for specialness, we remain as God created us. He sees us all as His one Son.

All we need to do is accept God’s gift of all of His Love, instead of insisting that we are separate and capable of harm and loss. Our Father has given us a Voice in our mind to patiently help us let go of our fantasies of uniqueness. As we let go of our misperceptions, we will remember the peace and joy that we share with our Father.

Joining in the Eternal Flow of Love

Today I learn the law of love; that what I give my brother is my gift to me.

This is Your law, my Father, not my own. ²I have not understood what giving means, and thought to save what I desired for myself alone. ³And as I looked upon the treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty place where nothing ever was or is or will be. ⁴Who can share a dream? ⁵And what can an illusion offer me? ⁶Yet he whom I forgive will give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. ⁷Let my forgiven brothers fill my store with Heaven’s treasures, which alone are real. ⁸Thus is the law of love fulfilled. ⁹And thus Your Son arises and returns to You.

How near we are to one another, as we go to God. ²How near is He to us. ³How close the ending of the dream of sin, and the redemption of the Son of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-344. See also ACIM Lesson 344 Insights.)

All of us have a gift to give. It is a single gift that could be called the ‘mother’ of all gifts. It is the gift of Love. Love extends eternally. When given, It extends forever, being eternal. It is the only gift that can be given in truth, because It is all that is real. Because Love is one, this gift we give is a gift to ourselves as well.

Today we remind ourselves frequently to keep our mind open to the Guidance of the Voice for Love in our mind. It is our desire to join in the eternal flow of Love and bring Love’s blessing with us wherever we go and whatever we do.

Finding Contentment in Love’s Eternal Extension

Today I claim the gifts forgiveness gives.

I will not wait another day to find the treasures that my Father offers me. ²Illusions are all vain, and dreams are gone even while they are woven out of thoughts that rest on false perceptions. ³Let me not accept such meager gifts again today. ⁴God’s Voice is offering the peace of God to all who hear and choose to follow Him. ⁵This is my choice today. ⁶And so I go to find the treasures God has given me.

I seek but the eternal. ²For Your Son can be content with nothing less than this. ³What, then, can be his solace but what You are offering to his bewildered mind and frightened heart, to give him certainty and bring him peace? ⁴Today I would behold my brother sinless. ⁵This Your Will for me, for so will I behold my sinlessness. (A Course in Miracles, W-334. See also ACIM Lesson 334 Insights.)

Forgiveness is a gift we give our self because nothing exists outside our mind. The appearance of external images and events is just a projection of a mind split by the wish for specialness. There can be no differences in Love’s oneness. When we forgive a perception of differences we open our mind to accept Love’s Presence.

Today we choose to follow the guidance of God’s Voice to help us let go of our misperceptions. We want to know the peace of God as our own. We want join with Love’s eternal extension. We know we will not be content with anything else.
