I seek but what belongs to me in truth.
Today’s idea continues with the thought that joy and peace are not but idle dreams. ²They are your right, because of what you are. ³They come to you from God, Who cannot fail to give you what He wills. ⁴Yet must there be a place made ready to receive His gifts. ⁵They are not welcomed gladly by a mind that has instead received the gifts it made where His belong, as substitutes for them.
Today we would remove all meaningless and self-made gifts which we have placed upon the holy altar where God’s gifts belong. ²His are the gifts that are our own in truth. ³His are the gifts that we inherited before time was, and that will still be ours when time has passed into eternity. ⁴His are the gifts that are within us now, for they are timeless. ⁵And we need not wait to have them. ⁶They belong to us today.
So do we clear the way for Him today by simply recognizing that His Will is done already, and that joy and peace belong to us as His eternal gifts. …we bring to mind as often as we can:
⁴I seek but what belongs to me in truth.
⁵God’s gifts of joy and peace are all I want. (A Course in Miracles, W-104.1–2;5:1,3-5. See also ACIM Lesson 104 Insights.)
The world is a dream with no reality in truth. It offers only form as substitutes for God’s gifts to us, His Son. Our attachments to these forms we want block our awareness of God’s gifts, which are already ours. Being illusions, forms are inherently temporary. They shift and change with every whim. Sometimes they seem to make us happy. Other times they make us sad or angry or guilty. The forms seem to be the cause of every experience.
But these forms are projections from the mind we have accepted that seeks only specialness. The ego does not want the Reality of Love’s oneness. As long as we align with it, we will be unaware of the gifts God guarantees are ours.
Today we ask the Holy Spirit to help us let go of our attachments to form. As we let them go, God’s gifts of joy and peace will rise to our awareness. We will remember we are God’s Son, complete and healed and whole. We welcome His joy and peace.
