Deny not Heaven. It is yours today, but for the asking. Nor need you perceive how great the gift, how changed your mind will be before it comes to you. Ask to receive, and it is given you. Conviction lies within it. Till you welcome it as yours, uncertainty remains. Yet God is fair. Sureness is not required to receive what only your acceptance can bestow.
We count on God, and not upon ourselves, to give us certainty. And in His Name we practice as His Word directs we do. His sureness lies beyond our every doubt. His Love remains beyond our every fear. The Thought of Him is still beyond all dreams and in our minds, according to His Will. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 165, W-pI.165.4,8. See also ACIM Lesson 165 Insights.)
God has not abandoned us. The gift of His Thought of Love is still ours, for what God gives is eternal. It feels like we have been abandoned because belief in being separate from our Source makes our eternal connection unknown to us. It is our belief that stands between our experience of being alone and on our own, hiding the fact that we still remain in Heaven, at one with God.
Because we are believing in a false idea, we need to ask for help to see past illusions to the truth of Heaven. The world of separate bodies seems so real that even asking for help seems like a reach. But it doesn’t matter that we are uncertain.
When we are willing to ask for help, we are opening the door to accept the help we need to see truly. The Help is already given us and as we accept It, the Light of Truth shows us the reality that Heaven is ours now. Love is ours now. God’s peace is ours now. We are free to share God’s joy now. Today we practice remembering to ask for help to see truly.
