Choosing the Memory of Love

Today the peace of God envelops me, and I forget all things except His Love.

Father, I wake today with miracles correcting my perception of all things. ²And so begins the day I share with You as I will share eternity, for time has stepped aside today. ³I do not seek the things of time, and so I will not look upon them. ⁴What I seek today transcends all laws of time and things perceived in time. ⁵I would forget all things except Your Love. ⁶I would abide in You, and know no laws except Your law of love. ⁷And I would find the peace which You created for Your Son, forgetting all the foolish toys I made as I behold Your glory and my own.

And when the evening comes today, we will remember nothing but the peace of God. ²For we will learn today what peace is ours, when we forget all things except God’s Love. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson, W-346.1:1–2:2. See also ACIM Lesson 346 Insights.)

The ego uses memory as a weapon to defend against God. But it is selective memory. It selects only the illusions it has made to remember and keep them in the past. It draws upon these memories to interpret the illusions it perceives in the present. And it uses these memories to project a future like the past. The one memory that it must not allow is the memory of God’s Love.

We can use selective memory differently. When we use memory to remember God’s Love, memories of the past fade into the nothingness from which they came. The brilliance of God’s Love fills our mind and shines away the darkness of the ego’s denial of Love.

Today we choose to select the memory of Love to awaken from the dark dream of lovelessness. In the brilliant Light of Love we see the presence of Love everywhere, in every brother and in all things. What once blocked awareness of Love’s reality is dispelled and we live in the presence of God’s peace where we dwell with Him eternally.
