I will not be afraid of love today.
If I could realize but this today, salvation would be reached for all the world. This the decision not to be insane, and to accept myself as God Himself, my Father and my Source, created me. This the determination not to be asleep in dreams of death, while truth remains forever living in the joy of love. And this the choice to recognize the Self Whom God created as the Son He loves, and Who remains my one Identity.
Father, Your Name is Love and so is mine. Such is the truth. And can the truth be changed by merely giving it another name? The name of fear is simply a mistake. Let me not be afraid of truth today. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 282, W-pII.282. See also ACIM Lesson 282 Insights.)
Love is the one condition in which our safety is guaranteed, our joy complete and peace is undisturbed. It is our natural state because it is the condition in which we were created by God, eternally united with Himself. It is the only condition in which we are at Home.
The ego is afraid of Love because only Love is real and thus separation must be unreal. This means the ego is not real. Real and unreal cannot coexist. The ego’s seeming existence depends on the belief in a world of separation. This belief makes separation seem real. To maintain its seeming existence, the ego must constantly defend against the reality of Love’s oneness.
As we let the Holy Spirit heal our mistaken beliefs in separation, fear of Love diminishes. Today we choose the Voice of Love as our Guide to true perception. We want to remember the Self God created as Love. We want to experience His joy and peace. We want to bring Love’s message to the world by demonstrating our acceptance of Love. This is our intention for today.
