Accepting God’s Call to Love

Do you not understand that to oppose the Holy Spirit is to fight yourself? ²He tells you but your will; He speaks for you. ³In His Divinity is but your own. ⁴And all He knows is but your knowledge, saved for you that you may do your will through Him. ⁵God asks you do your will. ⁶He joins with you. …¹¹God is no enemy to you. ¹²He asks no more than that He hear you call Him “Friend.”

How wonderful it is to do your will! ²For that is freedom. ³There is nothing else that ever should be called by freedom’s name. ⁴Unless you do your will you are not free. ⁵And would God leave His Son without what he has chosen for himself? ⁶God but ensured that you would never lose your will when He gave you His perfect Answer. ⁷Hear It now, that you may be reminded of His Love and learn your will.

Look once again upon your enemy, the one you chose to hate instead of love. ²For thus was hatred born into the world, and thus the rule of fear established there. ³Now hear God speak to you, through Him Who is His Voice and yours as well, reminding you that it is not your will to hate and be a prisoner to fear, a slave to death, a little creature with a little life. ⁴Your will is boundless; it is not your will that it be bound. ⁵What lies in you has joined with God Himself in all creation’s birth. (A Course in Miracles, T-30.II.1:1-6,11-12;2:1-7;3:1-5. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

To be happy we need only be true to our Self. This Self is Love and our will is to extend that Love. If we consider the times when we have felt loved and loving, a key part of that experience is happiness and peace. To be true to our Self is to be loving.

While we experience ourself as a body, Love seems to be a fleeting experience at best. That is only because the ego is terrified of the experience of Love and tries to minimize it. The ego sees Love as an attack because when we accept Love, we accept Love’s oneness. The ego cannot exist in oneness.

Today we choose to welcome God’s call to Love. It is His gift that brings us His joy and peace. When we accept His call, we accept our Self. With this acceptance, our day will be happy, peaceful and loving.
