The glory of my Father is my own.
Let not the truth about ourselves today be hidden by a false humility. Let us instead be thankful for the gifts our Father gave us. Can we see in those with whom He shares His glory any trace of sin and guilt? And can it be that we are not among them, when He loves His Son forever and with perfect constancy, knowing he is as He created him?
We thank You, Father, for the light that shines forever in us. And we honor it, because You share it with us. We are one, united in this light and one with You, at peace with all creation and ourselves. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 239, W-pII.239. See also ACIM Lesson 239 Insights.)
Today is Valentine’s day. It is a day the ego dedicates to the pursuit of specialness, with gifts and cards to be given to special people proclaiming love. But the Course tells us that love selectively given is not Love at all. It is fear disguised by special “gifts” because it denies the all inclusiveness of God’s Love.
In truth, we already have all of God’s Love, the only real Love that has no limitations nor conditions. God gives wholly, for what He creates remains united with Him. His Creation shares His glory, joy, innocence and peace. God does not reserve His Love to be given only on a special day of the year. His Love is changeless and constant. We can count on His Love being with us and in us in every moment. He does not change His mind about His gift or the Son He created one with Himself.
Together let us use this day to remember that we have Love and are Love eternally. Together we are His Son eternally.
