Awaken and Be Glad

I feel the Love of God within me now.

²The Love of God is what created me. ³The Love of God is everything I am. ⁴The Love of God proclaimed me as His Son. ⁵The Love of God within me sets me free.

I choose the joy of God instead of pain.

²Pain is my own idea. ³It is not a Thought of God, but one I thought apart from Him and from His Will. ⁴His Will is joy, and only joy for His beloved Son. ⁵And that I choose, instead of what I made.

⁶I am not a body. ⁷I am free.
⁸For I am still as God created me.

(A Course in Miracles, W-209.1:1-5;210.1. See also ACIM Lesson 209 Insights.)

As God’s Son, we are His Love with all Love’s attributes. In the dream, we believe we are a body. The body is a limit, and as long as we believe we are a body, we cannot know His Love as ours. In the dream, judgment is used to reinforce the wish for specialness. This keeps us bound to the body’s limitations. We do not see ourselves as Love, joined in complete unity with all Love.

Each time we forgive our perception of separation, we take a step toward freedom to be the Love God created us to be. The unhappiness that comes with judgment is replaced with the joy of extending Love without limit. This is our purpose, to awaken and be glad.
