Joining the Eternal Flow of Love

I will receive whatever I request.

No one desires pain. ²But he can think that pain is pleasure. ³No one would avoid his happiness. ⁴But he can think that joy is painful, threatening and dangerous. ⁵Everyone will receive what he requests. ⁶But he can be confused indeed about the things he wants; the state he would attain. ⁷What can he then request that he would want when he receives it? ⁸He has asked for what will frighten him, and bring him suffering. ⁹Let us resolve today to ask for what we really want, and only this, that we may spend this day in fearlessness, without confusing pain with joy, or fear with love.

Father, this is Your day. ²It is a day in which I would do nothing by myself, but hear Your Voice in everything I do; requesting only what You offer me, accepting only Thoughts You share with me. (A Course in Miracles, W-339. See also ACIM Lesson 339 Insights.)

The wish for specialness, a unique identity, is a demand for what could never be real. Only the Love of God is real. His Love is given freely without exceptions or differences to all.

Our identification with the wish for specialness has made us uncertain and confused about what we want. We ask for what our Father cannot give. So we make up a story of differences that conflict, compete and make a world of chaos. Projection makes it seem we have nothing to do with what we experience from an outside world.

We are being called to change our allegiance from the ego, which divides, to our Creator, Who unifies. As we commit to listening to His Voice, we will learn to let go of our mistaken wishes and join with the eternal flow of Love.
