God Gave Himself to Us All in Equal Love

You are alike to God as God is to Himself. He is not special, for He would not keep one part of what He is unto Himself, not given to His Son but kept for Him alone. And it is this you fear, for if He is not special, then He willed His Son to be like Him, and your brother is like you. Not special, but possessed of everything, including you. Give him but what he has, remembering God gave Himself to you and your brother in equal love, that both might share the universe with Him Who chose that love could never be divided, and kept separate from what it is and must forever be. (A Course in Miracles, T-24.II.10:3-7. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

Specialness is divisive. What is one can have no differences. The wish for specialness attempts to divide oneness into different pieces. This could only be “accomplished” in illusions, for the reality of Oneness is unchangeable.

The thought system of separation (the ego) made a world that appears to make differences real. It is a deception that hides the gift of Love which God has given to all equally. When we identify with the body and believe what the body seems to show us, we see images that seem to confirm that separation is real.

The way back to the experience of God’s limitless Love is to lay aside our belief that specialness offers us anything of value. Specialness brings conflict, fear and guilt with it. All we really want is to remember our innocence and the Love that is given us eternally.

Everyone in this world is searching for Love, but it cannot be found in this world. The Love we search for is already in us. It is What we are. Today we practice letting Holy Spirit show us the Love that is the truth in everyone we meet or think of. This is how we will learn to recognize that God has already given us all of His Love.
