Love is the way I walk in gratitude.
⁷Your gratitude is due to Him alone Who made all cause of sorrow disappear throughout the world.
…to One Who offers you the certain means whereby all pain is healed, and suffering replaced with laughter and with happiness.”
²Love makes no comparisons.
…let your gratitude make room for all who will escape with you; the sick, the weak, the needy and afraid, and those who mourn a seeming loss or feel apparent pain, who suffer cold or hunger, or who walk the way of hatred and the path of death. ³All these go with you. ⁴Let us not compare ourselves with them, for thus we split them off from our awareness of the unity we share with them, as they must share with us.
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;4:2;5:2-4;8:6;10:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 195 Insights.)
In a romantic relationship we say we have fallen in love. We feel gratitude for this person in our lives. Our thoughts are happy.
This experience is but a minute taste of the gratitude that comes with accepting the Love of God, which joins us with everything and everyone. Every moment is filled with extending Love. We see that same Love everywhere because we are one in it. Conflict is impossible. In that oneness, there is no thought of comparison.
The joy of being in the flow of Love is limitless. We feel complete and know we lack nothing. We are content to rest with all our brothers in the Love of God.
