God does not suffer conflict. Nor is His creation split in two. How could it be His Son could be in hell, when God Himself established him in Heaven? Could he lose what the Eternal Will has given him to be his home forever? Let us not try longer to impose an alien will upon God’s single purpose. He is here because He wills to be, and what He wills is present now, beyond the reach of time.
[God’s Son] thinks he made a hell opposing Heaven, and believes that he abides in what does not exist, while Heaven is the place he cannot find.
Leave foolish thoughts like these behind today, and turn your mind to true ideas instead. No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth, and it is truth we seek to reach today. …we will ask to see the rising of the real world to replace the foolish images that we hold dear, with true ideas arising in the place of thoughts that have no meaning, no effect, and neither source nor substance in the truth.
Remember often that today should be a time of special gladness, and refrain from dismal thoughts and meaningless laments. …remind yourself with this:
Today I seek and find all that I want.
My single purpose offers it to me.
No one can fail who seeks to find the truth. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 131, W-pI.131.8;9:4-10:3;15:1,4-7. See also ACIM Lesson 131 Insights.)
Our single purpose is God’s single purpose — to be and extend Love eternally. To seek the Truth is to seek and accept the Will of God. There is no sacrifice in this. God’s Will for His Son is perfect happiness and Love without end. To give up a loveless world where true happiness is impossible for the glad exchange of Heaven is not sacrifice. We give up nothing to gain everything, all that is Real.
Today as we look upon the world and think about all the things we need to do today, let us remind ourselves that beyond the appearances of the world is the eternal Love that is our purpose to receive and give. Heaven is here and now. We ask the Holy Spirit to help us see and fulfill our true purpose. This practice leads us to remembering that Heaven is our Home eternally.
