My grievances hide the light of the world in me.
²My grievances show me what is not there, and hide from me what I would see. ³Recognizing this, what do I want my grievances for? ⁴They keep me in darkness and hide the light. ⁵Grievances and light cannot go together, but light and vision must be joined for me to see. ⁶To see, I must lay grievances aside.
²Let me not use this as a block to sight.
³The light of the world will shine all this away.
⁴I have no need for this. ⁵I want to see.²Today I will recognize where my salvation is. ³It is in me because its Source is there. ⁴It has not left its Source, and so it cannot have left my mind. ⁵I will not look for it outside myself. ⁶It is not found outside and then brought in. ⁷But from within me it will reach beyond, and everything I see will but reflect the light that shines in me and in itself. (A Course in Miracles, W-85.1:1-6;2:2-5;3:2-7. See also ACIM Lesson 85 Insights.)
Everyone in this world is searching for Love. This dream is the projection of the idea of denying Love in the quest for specialness. Specialness — forms of differences — cannot coexist in the oneness of Love. This Love is our true Self, the Son of God. We who are Love seek for It in the world where It cannot be found. Yet we carry Love with us wherever we go, in every instant. Only our grievances hide the presence of Love from our awareness.
Today we set aside this childish petulance. We want to see our true Self in the Love we share with every brother. The Love we seek is in us now. As we forgive our wish to have things the way we want them apart from others, we realize we live in Love. In this Love is our joy and peace. As we lay our grievances aside we see the Love in every brother and learn that we are Love along with them.
