You are my goal, my Father. Only You.
Where would I go but Heaven? ²What could be a substitute for happiness? ³What gift could I prefer before the peace of God? ⁴What treasure would I seek and find and keep that can compare with my Identity? ⁵And would I rather live with fear than love?
You are my goal, my Father. ²What but You could I desire to have? ³What way but that which leads to You could I desire to walk? ⁴And what except the memory of You could signify to me the end of dreams and futile substitutions for the truth? ⁵You are my only goal. ⁶Your Son would be as You created him. ⁷What way but this could I expect to recognize my Self, and be at one with my Identity? (A Course in Miracles, W-287. See also ACIM Lesson 287 Insights.)
Everyone in the world is hungry for Love. Under the ego’s direction we are led on fruitless searches, looking for Love in all the wrong places. The ego’s goal is always to avoid Love, for the full acceptance of Love’s oneness would be its end.
We are hungry because we want to return to awareness of our true Self. We want to return to our Source. We want to return to Love, our true Identity.
Today we call upon the Holy Spirit, Whose mission is to lead us Home to Love. His vision shows us the presence of Love beyond the ego’s decoys that are lifeless substitutes for Love. By following the Holy Spirit, we awaken to the Love we are; our hunger is satisfied.
