Learning the Lesson That We Are Love

The Christ in you remembers God with all the certainty with which He knows His Love. But only if His Son is innocent can He be Love.… God’s perfect Son remembers his creation. But in guilt he has forgotten what he really is.

The fear of God results as surely from the [ego’s] lesson that His Son is guilty as God’s Love must be remembered when he learns his innocence. For hate must father fear, and look upon its father as itself. How wrong are you who fail to hear the call that echoes past each seeming call to death, that sings behind each murderous attack and pleads that love restore the dying world. You do not understand Who calls to you beyond each form of hate; each call to war. Yet you will recognize Him as you give Him answer in the language [of Love] that He calls. He will appear when you have answered Him, and you will know in Him that God is Love. (A Course in Miracles, T-31.I.9:3-4,6-7;10. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

The world appears to be full of bigotry and judgment, fear and attack, terrorism and murder. All these have one thing in common. They are all calls for Love coming from minds that believe in lack of Love.

Each of us has an opportunity to teach ourselves that God is Love and so are we. To learn this lesson we need to ask the Holy Spirit’s help to see past all the forms that seem to call for defense to recognize the call for Love as it is. With the Holy Spirit’s help we can answer that call for Love with Love.

As we can recognize the terrorist as a brother who has lost awareness that he already has and is God’s Love, we can help by offering him the vision of Christ that sees past the outer appearance to the innocence and Love he is. As we practice this, we learn we already have God’s Love by giving It.
