Let me not bind Your Son with laws I made.
Your Son is free, my Father. ²Let me not imagine I have bound him with the laws I made to rule the body. ³He is not subject to any laws I made by which I try to make the body more secure. ⁴He is not changed by what is changeable. ⁵He is not slave to any laws of time. ⁶He is as You created him, because he knows no law except the law of love.
Let us not worship idols, nor believe in any law idolatry would make to hide the freedom of the Son of God. ²He is not bound except by his beliefs. ³Yet what he is, is far beyond his faith in slavery or freedom. ⁴He is free because he is his Father’s Son. ⁵And he cannot be bound unless God’s truth can lie, and God can will that He deceive Himself. (A Course in Miracles, W-277. See also ACIM Lesson 277 Insights.)
When we believe we are a body, we have convinced ourselves that a lie is true. By this belief, we think we have limited the unlimited to a form that limits us to a small space and a brief time. This is not God’s Will for us. Love cannot be limited in truth.
The purpose of the Course is to lead us out of this mistaken belief that denies God’s Will for us to be happy, at peace, loved and loving. Our only meaningful purpose in this world is to let go of the belief that limits the Love we are. The limitations we believe we have are myriad. Their complexity hides the simplicity of the truth: We are Love and nothing else.
Today we ask the Holy Spirit to help us see the Love that is every brother and remember we are that same Love, united in the Love of God. Everyone we meet or even think of offers us this opportunity to remember only Love is real.
