Smiling with the Joy of God’s Love

I can attack but my own sinlessness, And it is only [my sinlessness] which keeps me safe.

Father, Your Son is holy. I am he on whom You smile in love and tenderness so dear and deep and still the universe smiles back on You, and shares Your Holiness. How pure, how safe, how holy, then, are we, abiding in Your Smile, with all Your Love bestowed upon us, living one with You, in brotherhood and Fatherhood complete; in sinlessness so perfect that the Lord of Sinlessness conceives us as His Son, a universe of Thought completing Him.

Let us not, then, attack our sinlessness [our true Identity], for it contains the Word of God to us. And in its kind reflection we are saved. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 341, W-pII.341. See also ACIM Lesson 341 Insights.)

A parent holding a baby naturally responds with a smile when the baby smiles. It is an expression of the joy that is experienced with shared Love. Likewise, our Creator experiences joy when we join with and share His Love. Our true Identity is eternally joined with our Creator in His Love. We remain at Home in His universe of Love.

We attack our unity in Love when we believe we are a separate self, limited to a body in a dream world where Love is denied. This attack leads to feelings of isolation, vulnerability and guilt, for we have denied God’s gift. We free ourselves by letting the Holy Spirit help us heal our mistaken beliefs that project a world of fear and hate.

Today our prayer is to ask the Holy Spirit to shine His Light of Love in our mind to help us forgive our fear-based thoughts. We want to see Love reflected in the world and smile once again with the joy of accepting God’s gift of Love.
