Being Willing to Accept the Love We Are

You who hold your brother’s hand also hold mine, for when you joined each other you were not alone. ²Do you believe that I would leave you in the darkness that you agreed to leave with me? ³In your relationship is this world’s light. ⁴And fear must disappear before you now. ⁵Be tempted not to snatch away the gift of faith you offered to your brother. ⁶You will succeed only in frightening yourself. ⁷The gift is given forever, for God Himself received it. ⁸You cannot take it back. ⁹You have accepted God. ¹⁰The holiness of your relationship is established in Heaven. ¹¹You do not understand what you accepted, but remember that your understanding is not necessary. ¹²All that was necessary was merely the wish to understand. ¹³That wish was the desire to be holy. ¹⁴The Will of God is granted you. ¹⁵For you desire the only thing you ever had, or ever were.

Each instant that we spend together will teach you that this goal is possible, and will strengthen your desire to reach it. ²And in your desire lies its accomplishment. ³Your desire is now in complete accord with all the power of the Holy Spirit’s Will. ⁴No little, faltering footsteps that you may take can separate your desire from His Will and from His strength. ⁵I hold your hand as surely as you agreed to take your brother’s. ⁶You will not separate, for I stand with you and walk with you in your advance to truth. ⁷And where we go we carry God with us. (A Course in Miracles, T-18.III.4–5. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Our innate desire is to be as God created us — to be Love and nothing else. The ego’s goal is to deny Love. It is afraid of Love because in the oneness of Love, there is no place for specialness.

Today let us join together in the willingness to be the Love we were created to be. The Will of God supports this willingness with all God’s strength. This support is ever present in our mind. The Holy Spirit walks with us, leading us into the Light in which we awaken to the Self God created as His Son.
