Expressing Love in the World

There is no relationship between what is real and what you think is real. Nothing that you think are your real thoughts resemble your real thoughts in any respect. Nothing that you think you see bears any resemblance to what vision will show you.

We will attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. We will deny the world in favor of truth. We will not let the thoughts of the world hold us back. We will not let the beliefs of the world tell us that what God would have us do is impossible. Instead, we will try to recognize that only what God would have us do is possible.

We will also try to understand that only what God would have us do is what we want to do. And we will also try to remember that we cannot fail in doing what He would have us do. There is every reason to feel confident that we will succeed today. It is the Will of God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 45, W-pI.45.1:3-5;4:2-5:3. See also ACIM Lesson 45 Insights.)

The Course tells us that there are only two orders of thought in the world — Love or a call for Love. Each calls for the same response — the extension of Love. In the world, doing what God would have us do means letting Love be our Guide in every thought and action.

The Course also tells us that forgiveness is Love’s reflection in the world. In our doing today, we are mindful that the extension of Love is our motive. Each seeming upset is a call for Love, either appearing in another person or in ourselves. The response then is to forgive to make way for Love’s extension. For all our doing in the world we ask, “Is this serving Love’s purpose?” Thus with this practice, we let Love be our Guide in all things.
