I judge all things as I would have them be.
Judgment was made to be a weapon used against the truth. It separates what it is being used against, and sets it off as if it were a thing apart. And then it makes of it what you would have it be. It judges what it cannot understand, because it cannot see totality and therefore judges falsely. Let us not use it today, but make a gift of it to Him Who has a different use for it. He will relieve us of the agony of all the judgments we have made against ourselves, and re-establish peace of mind by giving us God’s Judgment of His Son.
Father, we wait with open mind today, to hear Your Judgment of the Son You love. We do not know him, and we cannot judge. And so we let Your Love decide what he whom You created as Your Son must be. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 311, W-pII.311. See also ACIM Lesson 311 Insights.)
Whenever we judge anyone or any situation in the world, we are actually judging ourselves. We could not see an external world if we had not already accepted the ego’s judgment that we are limited to a body, separate from our Creator. Our mistaken allegiance to the ego has put us in a dream where nothing appears as it is in truth. We see only false images that hide the eternal presence of Love from our awareness. Judgment is the ego’s tool to make these images appear real and impenetrable.
It is time to let go of judging anything on our own. Our self-imposed limitations make it impossible for us to judge truly. This is why the Course teaches us to ask of everything, “What is this for?” He will judge for us based on His certainty of the truth that we remain united in God’s Love. He knows that only Love is real. As we learn to accept the Holy Spirit’s judgment, which dismisses the images of the world as unreal, we free ourselves to accept the limitless Love God gave us as His Son.
Today we demonstrate for freedom by letting Love guide our thoughts, words and actions. By this practice we teach ourselves and the world of the reality of Love.
