Love is the way I walk in gratitude.
⁷Your gratitude is due to Him alone Who made all cause of sorrow disappear throughout the world. …Who offers you the certain means whereby all pain is healed, and suffering replaced with laughter and with happiness.
²Love makes no comparisons.
…let your gratitude make room for all who will escape with you; the sick, the weak, the needy and afraid, and those who mourn a seeming loss or feel apparent pain, who suffer cold or hunger, or who walk the way of hatred and the path of death. ³All these go with you. ⁴Let us not compare ourselves with them, for thus we split them off from our awareness of the unity we share with them, as they must share with us.
We thank our Father for one thing alone; that we are separate from no living thing, and therefore one with Him.
⁶When your forgiveness is complete you will have total gratitude, for you will see that everything has earned the right to love by being loving, even as your Self. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 195, W-195.1:7;2:2;4:2;5:2–6:1;8:6. See also ACIM Lesson 195 Insights.)
Our true Self is loving because it was created by Love as Love. This Self does not change because it remains united with Its changeless Creator. Our only problem is that we deny our eternal connection with our Creator. The result of that denial is a fantasy world in which separation seems real.
It is time to forgive the denial. It is costing us peace of mind and perfect happiness. We forgive this error in many wonderful easy steps under Holy Spirit’s guidance.
Each time we let the Holy Spirit show us the changeless Love beyond appearances, we take another step on the path of return to Love. It is the path to freedom to be Love and nothing else. We take this happy journey together.
