We Live in God’s Everlasting Love

I am surrounded by the Love of God.

Father, You stand before me and behind, beside me, in the place I see myself, and everywhere I go. ²You are in all the things I look upon, the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches for my own. ³In You time disappears, and place becomes a meaningless belief. ⁴For what surrounds Your Son and keeps him safe is Love itself. ⁵There is no source but this, and nothing is that does not share its holiness; that stands beyond Your one creation, or without the Love which holds all things within itself. ⁶Father, Your Son is like Yourself. ⁷We come to You in Your Own Name today, to be at peace within Your everlasting Love.

My brothers, join with me in this today. ²This is salvation’s prayer. ³Must we not join in what will save the world, along with us? (W-264)

No matter what we believe we are, what we believe is happening in the world, nor how vulnerable we feel, we are held safely in the changeless Love of God. Only His Love is real. Hallucinations do not change Reality.

His Love is our Identity. Today we remind ourselves that we live in the peace and safety of our Father’s everlasting Love.

Forgiveness Restores Peace to Our Mind

⁶How foolish to believe you can attack! ⁷How mad to think that you could be condemned, and that the holy Son of God can die!

The stillness of your Self remains unmoved, untouched by thoughts like these, and unaware of any condemnation which could need forgiveness. ²Dreams of any kind are strange and alien to the truth. ³And what but truth could have a Thought which builds a bridge to it that brings illusions to the other side?

²The truth bestows these words upon your mind, that you may find the key to light and let the darkness end:

³Only my condemnation injures me.
⁴Only my own forgiveness sets me free.

⁵Do not forget today that there can be no form of suffering that fails to hide an unforgiving thought. ⁶Nor can there be a form of pain forgiveness cannot heal.

Accept the one illusion which proclaims there is no condemnation in God’s Son, and Heaven is remembered instantly; the world forgotten, all its weird beliefs forgotten with it, as the face of Christ appears unveiled at last in this one dream. ²This is the gift the Holy Spirit holds for you from God your Father. ³Let today be celebrated both on earth and in your holy home as well. ⁴Be kind to Both, as you forgive the trespasses you thought Them guilty of, and see your innocence shining upon you from the face of Christ. (A Course in Miracles, W-198.7:6–8:3;9:2–10:4. See also ACIM Lesson 198 Insights.)

Our judgments are the source of all our stress, unhappiness, sickness, hate, fear and guilt. They are key tools in the ego’s box of tricks to keep our mind from recognizing that only God’s Love is real. It hides the fact that all our judgments are self-condemnation by disguising them as judgments on external images disconnected from ourselves.

We can free ourselves from our judgments by accepting the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive our fear-based thoughts which deny the Love or our Father. With His help, we will remember we remain at Home in the Heaven of God’s Love.

Letting Love Illuminate Our World

²Neutral thoughts are impossible because all thoughts have power. ³They will either make a false world or lead me to the real one. ⁴But thoughts cannot be without effects. ⁵As the world I see arises from my thinking errors, so will the real world rise before my eyes as I let my errors be corrected. ⁶My thoughts cannot be neither true nor false. ⁷They must be one or the other. ⁸What I see shows me which they are.

²What I see witnesses to what I think. ³If I did not think I would not exist, because life is thought. ⁴Let me look on the world I see as the representation of my own state of mind. ⁵I know that my state of mind can change. ⁶And so I also know the world I see can change as well.

³I would look upon the witnesses that show me the thinking of the world has been changed. ⁴I would behold the proof that what has been done through me has enabled love to replace fear, laughter to replace tears, and abundance to replace loss. ⁵I would look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my will and the Will of God are one. (W-54.1:2-8;2:2-6;5:3-5)

The world we see tells us what we believe we are. If we see a world of differences and bodies, we believe we are a body, separate from all others.

But if we forgive our misperceptions and accept Christ’s vision, we will see the Love that unites us with All That is in the oneness of our Father’s Love. Today we choose to let the Light of Love illuminate our world, for we would learn that our will and God’s Will are one and the same.

Remembering Our Safety in God’s Love

God is my refuge and security.

I will identify with what I think is refuge and security. ²I will behold myself where I perceive my strength, and think I live within the citadel where I am safe and cannot be attacked. ³Let me today seek not security in danger, nor attempt to find my peace in murderous attack. ⁴I live in God. ⁵In Him I find my refuge and my strength. ⁶In Him is my Identity. ⁷In Him is everlasting peace. ⁸And only there will I remember Who I really am.

Let me not seek for idols. ²I would come, my Father, home to You today. ³I choose to be as You created me, and find the Son whom You created as my Self. (A Course in Miracles, W-261. See also ACIM Lesson 261 Insights.)

The ego is the idea that the way to protect our separate identity is to hide it from the world. By seeking isolation, it hides from perceived enemies who would try to attack and destroy its unique image.

This isolation denies the one state where safety and perfect peace abide — the changeless Love of God. Today we come to our Father in gratitude for the certainty of His everlasting Love.

Remembering the Certainty of God’s Love

There is a borderland of thought that stands between this world and Heaven. ²It is not a place, and when you reach it is apart from time. ³Here is the meeting place where thoughts are brought together; where conflicting values meet and all illusions are laid down beside the truth, where they are judged to be untrue. ⁴This borderland is just beyond the gate of Heaven. ⁵Here is every thought made pure and wholly simple. ⁶Here is sin denied, and everything that is received instead.

This is the journey’s end. ²We have referred to it as the real world. …⁵[Knowledge and perception] are brought together, and only one continues past the gate where Oneness is. ⁶Salvation is a borderland where place and time and choice have meaning still, and yet it can be seen that they are temporary, out of place, and every choice has been already made.

Salvation stops just short of Heaven, for only perception needs salvation. ²Heaven was never lost, and so cannot be saved. ³Yet who can make a choice between the wish for Heaven and the wish for hell unless he recognizes they are not the same? ⁴This difference is the learning goal this course has set. (T-26.III.2:1-6;3:1-2,5-6;5:1-4)

The ego believes that heaven is where differences are real and images compete with each other for importance and value. But this can only be perceived in a dream of hell where the oneness of God’s Love is denied.

We need to be saved from this dream of hell. We need to learn that the dream of competition, conflict, lack and loss is not what we really want. Our true Self wants only the certainty of the changeless Love of God.

We Live in the Home of Love

Let me not be Your critic, Lord, today, and judge against You. ²Let me not attempt to interfere with Your creation, and distort it into sickly forms. ³Let me be willing to withdraw my wishes from its unity, and thus to let it be as You created it. ⁴For thus will I be able, too, to recognize my Self as You created me. ⁵In love was I created, and in love will I remain forever. ⁶What can frighten me, when I let all things be exactly as they are?

Let not our sight be blasphemous today, nor let our ears attend to lying tongues. ²Only reality is free of pain. ³Only reality is free of loss. ⁴Only reality is wholly safe. ⁵And it is only this we seek today. (A Course in Miracles, W-268.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 268 Insights.)

Love created us as an extension of Itself. Love is all that is real, eternally changeless. As Love’s extension, it is our function to extend Love. Love keeps us united with all of creation, sharing Its peace and joy.

Today a choose to see the reality of Love everywhere. We happily accept Its safety and certainty that we live in the Home of Love.

Accepting Our Unity in God’s Love

My holy Self abides in you, God’s Son.

Father, You gave me all Your Sons, to be my saviors and my counselors in sight; the bearers of Your holy Voice to me. ²In them are You reflected, and in them does Christ look back upon me from my Self. ³Let not Your Son forget Your holy Name. ⁴Let not Your Son forget his holy Source. ⁵Let not Your Son forget his Name is Yours.

This day we enter into Paradise, calling upon God’s Name and on our own, acknowledging our Self in each of us; united in the holy Love of God. ²How many saviors God has given us! ³How can we lose the way to Him, when He has filled the world with those who point to Him, and given us the sight to look on them? (A Course in Miracles, W-266. See also ACIM Lesson 266 Insights.)

Forgiveness opens our mind to the vision that shows us the holy Self we share with all God’s Creation. Forgiveness lets us hear the Voice for God speak to us through the truth in everyone we meet or think of.

We are all united as the one Self that is God’s Son. This Self knows that we all are one in the Love of our Father. In gratitude we accept our true Identity as God’s Love.
