Learning to See with the Eyes of Love

Today it will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will return to paths of learning. ²Yet you have come far enough along the way to alter time sufficiently to rise above its laws, and walk into eternity a while. ³This you will learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this holy place and leaves you, for a moment, to your Self.

He will direct your practicing today, for what you ask for now is what He wills. ²And having joined your will with His this day, what you are asking must be given you. ³Nothing is needed but today’s idea [Into His Presence would I enter now] to light your mind, and let it rest in still anticipation and in quiet joy, wherein you quickly leave the world behind.

From this day forth, your ministry takes on a genuine devotion, and a glow that travels from your fingertips to those you touch, and blesses those you look upon. ²A vision reaches everyone you meet, and everyone you think of, or who thinks of you. ³For your experience today will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for the holy Thoughts of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-157.3:1–5:3. See also ACIM Lesson 157 Insights.)

When we identify with the ego and the image of a body, we deny our Source of Life, of Love. But we can choose to reverse this denial. It has led us on an exhausting journey of loneliness, vulnerability, anger, fear and guilt.

Today we choose to enter into the presence of our true Self, the Son of God. This choice brings us back to the Heaven of Love that is our Home. We choose it by being willing to pause and step back from our engagement with the world. We enter His presence by quieting our mind and welcoming the gift of Love.

Love shines away the shadows of separation that have denied Life. Love guides our mind to see the truth of Love’s Presence everywhere. With our willingness, Love directs our thoughts, words and actions. We see with the eyes of Love which show us the Love that is every brother.

As we begin this practice we are only aware of momentary glimpses of Love’s Presence. But with our determination to see things differently, we see the presence of Love more consistently and clearly. Love becomes the primary Guide on our journey. Distractions by the ego’s shadows of denial are given less attention and are less tempting. This is a journey of awakening to Love. Today we take another step along the path to Love’s remembrance.
