Love is the way I walk in gratitude.
Your 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.
Walk, then, in gratitude the way of love. ²For hatred is forgotten when we lay comparisons aside. ³What more remains as obstacles to peace? ⁴The fear of God is now undone at last, and we forgive without comparing. ⁵Thus we cannot choose to overlook some things, and yet retain some other things still locked away as “sins.” 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.
Our gratitude will pave the way to Him, and shorten our learning time by more than you could ever dream of. ²Gratitude goes hand in hand with love, and where one is the other must be found. ³For gratitude is but an aspect of the Love which is the Source of all creation. (A Course in Miracles, W-195.1:7,2:2;8;10:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 195 Insights.)
Comparison is a key tool of the ego to reinforce belief in separation. It is the basis for all fear and guilt. It maintains a sense of difference between ourself and all the world.
But Love can make no comparisons because It sees only Itself in Love’s oneness. What is all the same leaves no room for comparisons. The Love we are unites us in Its oneness.
The joy that comes from remembering we are Love is expressed in gratitude to our Creator. The Source of joy is ours now. In our gratitude we recognize the gift that was ours in our Creation and never withdrawn. We are grateful that we remain Love as Love created us.
