Love is the way I walk in gratitude.
⁷Your gratitude is due to Him alone Who made all cause of sorrow disappear throughout the world. …Who offers you the certain means whereby all pain is healed, and suffering replaced with laughter and with happiness.
Walk, then, in gratitude the way of love. ²For hatred is forgotten when we lay comparisons aside. ³What more remains as obstacles to peace? ⁴The fear of God is now undone at last, and we forgive without comparing. ⁵Thus we cannot choose to overlook some things, and yet retain some other things still locked away as “sins.” ⁶When your forgiveness is complete you will have total gratitude, for you will see that everything has earned the right to love by being loving, even as your Self.
Our gratitude will pave the way to Him, and shorten our learning time by more than you could ever dream of. ²Gratitude goes hand in hand with love, and where one is the other must be found. ³For gratitude is but an aspect of the Love which is the Source of all creation. (A Course in Miracles, W-195.1:7,2:2;8;10:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 195 Insights.)
Today we seek to lay comparisons aside. The wish for specialness always compares one thing with another. Differences define specialness.
The vision of Christ sees only Love. Love, being one, has no differences so comparisons do not occur in Love. Love seeks only Itself to join in the eternal giving and receiving of Love. Gratitude fills our heart, for we remember our oneness with our Father and all our brothers. We are all united in the one Self that is God’s Son. We are grateful that this is so.
