Let all things be exactly as they are.
Let me not be Your critic, Lord, today, and judge against You. Let me not attempt to interfere with Your creation, and distort it into sickly forms. Let me be willing to withdraw my wishes from its unity, and thus to let [creation] be as You created it. For thus will I be able, too, to recognize my Self as You created me. In love was I created, and in love will I remain forever. What can frighten me, when I let all things be exactly as they are?
Let not our sight be blasphemous today, nor let our ears attend to lying tongues. Only reality is free of pain. Only reality is free of loss. Only reality is wholly safe. And it is only this we seek today. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 268, W-pII.268A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 268, )
When we believe that our brothers are bodies, we are judging against our Creator. We are attempting to limit God’s Love by substituting the image of a body for God’s extension of His limitless Love. The ego-made world is the effect of judging against God by wanting specialness instead of the unity of His Love. We are accepting the lies of the ego in place of the truth that only Love is real and this Love created us like Itself.
Today we ask the Holy Spirit to help us see all things exactly as they are — Love and nothing else. As we accept this, there can be no pain, no sorrow, no fear, only the joy of extending Love.
