A major learning goal this course has set is to reverse your view of giving, so you can receive. ²For giving has become a source of fear, and so you would avoid the only means by which you can receive. ³Accept God’s peace and joy, and you will learn a different way of looking at a gift. ⁴God’s gifts will never lessen when they are given away. ⁵They but increase thereby.
As Heaven’s peace and joy intensify when you accept them as God’s gift to you, so does the joy of your Creator grow when you accept His joy and peace as yours. ²True giving is creation. ³It extends the limitless to the unlimited, eternity to timelessness, and love unto itself. ⁴It adds to all that is complete already, not in simple terms of adding more, for that implies that it was less before. ⁵It adds by letting what cannot contain itself fulfill its aim of giving everything it has away, securing it forever for itself.
Today accept God’s peace and joy as yours. (A Course in Miracles, W-105.3:1–5:1. See also ACIM Lesson 105 Insights.)
Our true Self is eternal Love. Its nature is to eternally extend Itself. It finds joy in giving of Itself. Its peace comes from Its changelessness.
While we believe Love can be limited, we do not experience Love. But as we forgive our belief in limitation and give the Love we receive, joy is inevitable. As we accept the Love we are, we rest in peace.
Today is an opportunity to let Love show us the universe of Love. As we willingly extend Love, we experience Its blessing. We bless ourselves as we bless the world.
