Recognizing Our Perfection in Love

…your life is not a part of anything you see. It stands beyond the body and the world, past every witness for unholiness, within the Holy, holy as Itself. In every­one and everything His Voice would speak to you of nothing but your Self and your Creator, Who is one with Him. So will you see the holy face of Christ in everything, and hear in everything no sound except the echo of God’s Voice.

And then we watch our thoughts, appealing silently to Him Who sees the elements of truth in them. Let Him evaluate each thought that comes to mind, remove the elements of dreams, and give them back again as clean ideas that do not contradict the Will of God.

Give Him your thoughts, and He will give them back as mir­acles which joyously proclaim the wholeness and the happiness God wills His Son, as proof of His eternal Love. And as each thought is thus transformed, it takes on healing power from the Mind which saw the truth in it, and failed to be deceived by what was falsely added. All the threads of fantasy are gone. And what remains is unified into a perfect Thought that offers its perfection everywhere. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 151, W-pI.151.12;13:3-4;14. See also ACIM Lesson 151 Insights.)

An early Workbook lesson tells us that God is in everything we see. Because God is All That is with no limits, He has no form. The forms we see through the body’s eyes do not show us God. God (Love) cannot be seen with the body’s eyes, just as His Voice cannot be heard with the body’s ears.

But God’s Voice can be heard in our mind. As God is everywhere, His Voice is everywhere to be heard if we but listen in our mind. His Voice speaks to us throughout the day. It offers us true vision that looks past forms to the Love that unifies us with our brothers and with God.

While we perceive ourselves to be in a world of form, we need help to recognize the presence of God’s Voice speaking to us from beyond the images of the world. His Voice is there to be heard. We need only be willing to let our thoughts be purified of mistaken beliefs in separation so that we may recognize the miracle of Love’s oneness that is ever present to be received. We practice pausing frequently today to welcome the Holy Spirit’s help with recognizing the truth of our perfection in Love.
