Today we learn a lesson which can save you more delay and needless misery than you can possibly imagine. It is this:
You make what you defend against, and by your own defense against it is it real and inescapable. Lay down your arms, and only then do you perceive it false.
Now do your eyes belong to Christ, and He looks through them. Now your voice belongs to God and echoes His. And now your heart remains at peace forever. You have chosen Him in place of idols, and your attributes, given by your Creator, are restored to you at last. The Call for God is heard and answered. Now has fear made way for love, as God Himself replaces cruelty. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.170.2:4-7;12)
Today is a day for letting the Call for God be heard. This Call resides in everyone, for It is their natural Home. Now is the time to return to where we belong. The Light of God within beckons as we willingly lay down our arms. Our fearful projections quietly disappear and we see they are nothing. Peace returns. We willingly make way for Love. And what we seek for in our heart of hearts we find. Fear is replaced by Love as we lay down our defenses.
