Gratitude for the Gift of God’s Love

Today let us be thankful. We have come to gentler pathways and to smoother roads. There is no thought of turning back, and no implacable resistance to the truth. A bit of wavering remains, some small objections and a little hesitance, but you can well be grateful for your gains, which are far greater than you realize.

Be glad today, in loving thankfulness, your Father has not left you to yourself, nor let you wander in the dark alone. Be grateful He has saved you from the self you thought you made to take the place of Him and His creation. Give Him thanks today.

Give thanks that He has not abandoned you, and that His Love forever will remain shining on you, forever without change. Give thanks as well that you are changeless, for the Son He loves is changeless as Himself. Be grateful you are saved. Be glad you have a function in salvation to fulfill. Be thankful that your value far transcends your meager gifts and petty judgments of the one whom God established as His Son. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 123, W-pI.123.1;2:2-3:5. See also ACIM Lesson 123 Insights.)

The ego wants us to believe that God has abandoned us. But this is just a disguise to hide the ego’s wish to abandon God. It is impossible for God to abandon His Creation, for all He creates remains within His Mind. To create is to extend Love, which is all that is real. There is no other place where God’s Son could abide outside of God’s Mind.

No matter how thoroughly we have convinced ourselves that we are a little self, limited to a body and separate from God’s Love, our true Self remains eternally in the oneness of Love. The fact that our true Self is inseparable from God is our salvation. We could never be the lonely, vulnerable self the ego portrays us to be.

Today let us join in gratitude with all our brothers as we remind ourselves that we remain at Home in Love.
