Finding the Love We Seek

You have so little faith in yourself because you are unwilling to accept the fact that perfect love is in you. ²And so you seek without for what you cannot find without. ³I offer you my perfect faith in you, in place of all your doubts. ⁴But forget not that my faith must be as perfect in all your brothers as it is in you, or it would be a limited gift to you. ⁵In the holy instant we share our faith in God’s Son because we recognize, together, that he is wholly worthy of it, and in our appreciation of his worth we cannot doubt his holiness. ⁶And so we love him.”

³In the holy instant you recognize the idea of love in you, and unite this idea with the Mind that thought it, and could not relinquish it. ⁴By holding it within itself, there is no loss. ⁵The holy instant thus becomes a lesson in how to hold all of your brothers in your mind, experiencing not loss but completion. ⁶From this it follows you can only give. ⁷And this is love, for this alone is natural under the laws of God.

¹⁰For in the holy instant you will recognize the only need the Sons of God share equally, and by this recognition you will join with me in offering what is needed. (A Course in Miracles, T-15.VI.2;5:3-7;6:10. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Fear is a sure sign that we are denying the Love that is our true Identity. Because of that denial, we cannot see the Love that is the Identity of everyone. We dream we are in a world where conflict is the norm. We need to be constantly alert to protect ourselves from harm and loss. We feel a lack of love that drives us on a constant search to find something or someone that offers some form of relief from our distress.

We already have the answer to our need. It is in our mind now. The Love we seek is eternally present in our mind. The Holy Spirit is always ready to help us let go of the misperceptions that come belief that we are separate and alone.

Today we practice offering every perception that disturbs our peace and happiness to Him for His reinterpretation. As we accept His help, we will learn that the Love we seek is already ours. We will see that this Love unites us with the Love that is the true Identity of everyone, including ourselves.
