I thank You, Father, knowing You will come to close each little gap that lies between the broken pieces of Your holy Son. Your Holiness, complete and perfect, lies in every one of them. And they are joined because what is in one is in them all. How holy is the smallest grain of sand, when it is recognized as being part of the completed picture of God’s Son! The forms the broken pieces seem to take mean nothing. For the whole is in each one. And every aspect of the Son of God is just the same as every other part.
Join not your brother’s dreams but join with him, and where you join His Son the Father is. Who seeks for substitutes when he perceives he has lost nothing? Who would want to have the “benefits” of sickness when he has received the simple happiness of health? What God has given cannot be a loss, and what is not of Him has no effects. What, then, would you perceive within the gap? The seeds of sickness come from the belief that there is joy in separation, and [giving up separation] would be a sacrifice. But miracles are the result when you do not insist on seeing in the gap what is not there. Your willingness to let illusions go is all the Healer of God’s Son requires. He will place the miracle of healing where the seeds of sickness were. And there will be no loss, but only gain. (A Course in Miracles, T-28.IV.9-10. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
The Spirit of Love is eternally whole. It has no form nor any distinction within It to separate It from any other part. The ego’s world relies on our belief in the reality of differences to seem to exist. A grain of sand seems different than a hurricane. We can only perceive these differences if we deny the oneness of Love by believing in the ego’s dream. Yet Love is eternally present and complete.
If we look upon a grain of sand with Love’s vision, we see the same presence of Love as It sees in every brother or any form in the world. Only the Love has meaning. As we learn to overlook the meaningless forms in the dream to recognize the eternal Love that unites us with our Creator, peace is restored to our troubled mind. There is no conflict in Love.
Today we give thanks that we rest eternally in the peace of God. We are held safely in His Love and share His joy. We welcome this rest by choosing Love’s vision in place of believing the ego’s images of separation. With this practice we awaken from the dream of separation and remember our Home in Love.
