Let me not be Your critic, Lord, today, and judge against You. ²Let me not attempt to interfere with Your creation, and distort it into sickly forms. ³Let me be willing to withdraw my wishes from its unity, and thus to let it be as You created it. ⁴For thus will I be able, too, to recognize my Self as You created me. ⁵In love was I created, and in love will I remain forever. ⁶What can frighten me, when I let all things be exactly as they are?
Let not our sight be blasphemous today, nor let our ears attend to lying tongues. ²Only reality is free of pain. ³Only reality is free of loss. ⁴Only reality is wholly safe. ⁵And it is only this we seek today. (A Course in Miracles, W-268.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 268 Insights.)
The body cannot perceive anything real, because the body itself is an illusion. But beyond the illusions is the reality of Love. That means what we are and all things are is Love and nothing else.
Today we ask the Holy Spirit’s help to see all things exactly as they are; to see Love and nothing else. With His help, we will forgive the false images that hide the truth from our awareness. We will forgive the wish for specialness. As we let go of that mistake, the Love we are will fill our awareness and we will see the reality of Love everywhere. This is our calling.
