³To everyone who lives will Christ yet come, for everyone must live and move in Him. ⁴His Being in His Father is secure, because Their Will is One. ⁵Their gratitude to all They have created has no end, for gratitude remains a part of love.
Thanks be to you, the holy Son of God. ²For as you were created, you contain all things within your Self. ³And you are still as God created you. ⁴Nor can you dim the light of your perfection. ⁵In your heart the Heart of God is laid. ⁶He holds you dear, because you are Himself. ⁷All gratitude belongs to you, because of what you are.
Give thanks as you receive it. ²Be you free of all ingratitude to anyone who makes your Self complete. ³And from this Self is no one left outside. ⁴Give thanks for all the countless channels which extend this Self. ⁵All that you do is given unto Him. ⁶All that you think can only be His Thoughts, sharing with Him the holy Thoughts of God. ⁷Earn now the gratitude you have denied yourself when you forgot the function God has given you. ⁸But never think that He has ever ceased to offer thanks to you. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 197, W-197.7:3–9:8. See also ACIM Lesson 197 Insights.)
Everyone in this world feels incomplete. This is because we have identified with the ego and its world of make believe where everything is different and separate. As we learn to accept Christ’s vision, which sees the Reality the body’s eyes cannot see, we recognize that we remain as God created us. Vision shows us we are complete. Everything God is, we are for He knows us as part of Himself. When we accept God’s gift of all of His Love, gratitude is inevitable, for there is no greater gift.
Today we choose Christ’s vision to see with the forgiving eyes of Love. We see our brother as one with our Self in God. It brings us joy to join in the eternal flow of Love within all of God’s Creation. Let us join with the Truth today and be glad.
