The holy instant is your invitation to love to enter into your bleak and joyless kingdom, and to transform it into a garden of peace and welcome. Love’s answer is inevitable. It will come because you came without the body, and interposed no barriers to interfere with its glad coming. In the holy instant, you ask of love only what it offers everyone, neither less nor more. Asking for everything, you will receive it. And your shining Self will lift the tiny aspect that you tried to hide from Heaven straight to Heaven. No part of love calls on the whole in vain. No Son of God remains outside His Fatherhood. (A Course in Miracles T-18.IX.11)
Our practice for today is to invite Love to enter throughout the day. Love responds to every request. Giving Love welcome opens the door to receiving the shift in perspective that heals our false perceptions of separation.
If we insist on seeing our brother as a body, we are defending against Love, because Love cannot be limited to an image or form. We give Love welcome by choosing to disregard the images the body shows us and being willing to see beyond them to the eternal changeless Love that is ever present. We can only do this by letting go of the past. This is what forgiveness does. Each time we bring a guilty or fearful thought to the Holy Spirit with willingness to receive His perspective, we invite Love to enter. This is our focus for today.
