Death is a thought that takes on many forms, often unrecognized. It may appear as sadness, fear, anxiety or doubt; as anger, faithlessness and lack of trust; concern for bodies, envy, and all forms in which the wish to be as you are not may come to tempt you. All such thoughts are but reflections of the worshipping of death as savior and as giver of release.
Our Father, bless our eyes today. We are Your messengers, and we would look upon the glorious reflection of Your Love which shines in everything. We live and move in You alone. We are not separate from Your eternal life. There is no death, for death is not Your Will. And we abide where You have placed us, in the life we share with You and with all living things, to be like You and part of You forever. We accept Your Thoughts as ours, and our will is one with Yours eternally. Amen. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 163, W-pI.163.1;9. See also ACIM Lesson 163 Insights.)
Since God is Love, His Thoughts are extensions of Love. To share His Thoughts is to have Thoughts of Love and extending Love. These are our only real Thoughts. They are the Thoughts of eternal Life in a state of peace and joy.
The world we experience with a body is not of God’s making. It is a world of false images based on belief in separation — death. We don’t think of envy, sadness, guilt or anger as thoughts of death. But they all deny the changeless presence of peace and joy that are the condition of God’s Thoughts of Love.
Let us today welcome God’s Thoughts in our minds. Let us today be Love’s messengers and teach ourselves and all the world that we remain at Home in God’s eternal, changeless Love.
