Our emphasis is not on giving up the world, but on exchanging it for what is far more satisfying, filled with joy, and capable of offering you peace.”
Is it a loss to find a [real] world instead where losing is impossible; where love endures forever, hate cannot exist and vengeance has no meaning? Is it loss to find all things you really want, and know they have no ending and they will remain exactly as you want them throughout time?”
Value [not the little things the world sets forth], and they will disappear. Esteem them, and they will seem real to you.
Such is the choice. What loss can be for you in choosing not to value nothingness? This world holds nothing that you really want, but what you choose instead you want indeed! Let it be given you today. It waits but for your choosing it, to take the place of all the things you seek but do not want. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 129, W-pI.129.1:3;3:1-2;5:4-5;6. See also ACIM Lesson 129 Insights.)
Only Love is real. The real world welcomes Love rather than denying It; Love is freely accepted and freely extended. It is a world in which all wishes for specialness and substitutes for Love are no longer desired. They have been forgiven. Now the limitations of time and space are let go.
Instead we choose the limitless, timeless unity of Love as our Reality. We choose Heaven instead of hell. This is the world we really want. Forgiveness offers this to us. Today we choose the Holy Spirit, the Teacher of forgiveness as our Guide. We choose the real world of joy and peace.
