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 this world is seeking for peace, happiness and Love. But we cannot find what we seek by following a guide who does not know the way. The ego has denied the one goal that would give us what we truly want. We have chosen to believe in an identity that is a false substitute for our true Identity Who God created as His Son.
Today we would benefit from reminding ourselves frequently that our only goal is God. Our only goal is the peace, happiness and Love that God is. There is no distance to achieve this goal. We have already reached the goal, but we are blind because we have accepted the ego substitute in its place.
We call upon the Holy Spirit to help us see past the ego’s substitutes to our Reality as God’s Son. He will help us awaken to the truth of What we are. And we will know that we live in God. Nothing else is real.
