See no one from the battleground, for there you look on him from nowhere.
Think what is given those who share their Father’s purpose, and who know that it is theirs. They want for nothing. Sorrow of any kind is inconceivable. Only the light they love is in awareness, and only love shines upon them forever. [Love] is their past, their present and their future; always the same, eternally complete and wholly shared. They know it is impossible their happiness could ever suffer change of any kind. Perhaps you think the battleground can offer something you can win. Can it be anything that offers you a perfect calmness, and a sense of love so deep and quiet that no touch of doubt can ever mar your certainty? And that will last forever?
Those with the strength of God in their awareness could never think of battle. (A Course in Miracles, T-23.IV.7:1;8:1-9:1. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
We need not seek for Love, for Love is What we are. We need only accept What we are. We are surrounded, supported and embraced by God’s Love eternally. To find the Love we seem to lack, we need to seek out all the barriers against Love we have built in our mind.
As we take our barriers to Love to the Holy Spirit in our mind, He will shine His Light upon them, showing us they have no substance and revealing the Love That is there. This is the practice of forgiveness. This is how we heal the perceived lack of Love that makes us feel lacking, inadequate, unloved and guilty. As we let our self-made barriers be shined away with the Light of Love, we recognize that we are truly complete in the Heart of God. It is worthy of our vigilance.
