Father, I will but to remember You.
What can I seek for, Father, but Your Love? Perhaps I think I seek for something else; a something I have called by many names. Yet is Your Love the only thing I seek, or ever sought. For there is nothing else that I could ever really want to find. Let me remember You. What else could I desire but the truth about myself?
This is your will, my brother. And you share this will with me, and with the One as well Who is our Father. To remember Him is Heaven. This we seek. And only this is what it will be given us to find. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 231, W-pII.231. See also ACIM Lesson 231 Insights.)
We seek for many things in the world—a good job, a special relationship, shelter, status, things we believe will enhance our value and more. All these forms are the ego’s substitutes for the Love of God the ego denies. These substitutes are empty shells and never satisfy our heart’s longing to remember the Love that is our Home, our very Nature.
This longing can only be satisfied by accepting God’s gift of all of His Love. This is our Home, our safety, our strength, our happiness and peace. All this is ours now. We have not lost It. Only our denial makes It unknown to us. To break the habit of this denial, we need to be vigilant for all thoughts and perceptions that disturb our peace, for this is a sign we are denying the Love we long for. These are not our real Thoughts, the Thoughts we share with God.
To break the habit, we need to pause and focus on the peace within us where we receive the Holy Spirit’s guidance to correct our perception and show us that we already have and are the Love we seek. This practice will transform our lives from states of fear and guilt to peace of mind, indescribable joy and acceptance of Love by sharing It freely. This is how we claim the Love we inherited from our Creator.
