Today I learn the law of love; that
what I give my brother is my gift to me.
This is Your law, my Father, not my own. ²I have not understood what giving means, and thought to save what I desired for myself alone. ³And as I looked upon the treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty place where nothing ever was or is or will be. ⁴Who can share a dream? ⁵And what can an illusion offer me? ⁶Yet he whom I forgive will give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. ⁷Let my forgiven brothers fill my store with Heaven’s treasures, which alone are real. ⁸Thus is the law of love fulfilled. ⁹And thus Your Son arises and returns to You.
How near we are to one another, as we go to God. ²How near is He to us. ³How close the ending of the dream of sin, and the redemption of the Son of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-344. See also ACIM Lesson 344 Insights.)
How we see our brother is how we see ourselves. If we see him as a body, we believe we are a body. If we see Him as Love and nothing else, His vision comes from the Love we are, our true Self.
Anything that interferes with our recognition with the Love that is our brother, must be forgiven. As we forgive our perception of a brother, we experience Love’s blessing. Every day is filled with opportunities to accept the Love we are by giving gifts of forgiveness. We ask the Holy Spirit to help us see with Christ’s vision and know that only Love is real. There is no limit to the Love we will experience.
