Everyone here has entered darkness, yet no one has entered it alone. Nor need he stay more than an instant. For he has come with Heaven’s Help within him, ready to lead him out of darkness into light at any time. The time he chooses can be any time, for help is there, awaiting but his choice. And when he chooses to avail himself of what is given him, then will he see each situation that he thought before was means to justify his anger turned to an event which justifies his love. He will hear plainly that the calls to war he heard before are really calls to peace. He will perceive that where he gave attack is but another altar where he can, with equal ease and far more happiness, bestow forgiveness. And he will reinterpret all temptation as just another chance to bring him joy.
Let all your brother’s errors be to you nothing except a chance for you to see the workings of the Helper given you to see the world He made instead of yours. (A Course in Miracles, T-25.III.6:1-8;7:2. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
We can deny and hide from the Love we are, but we cannot change What we are. This world is a dream of being without Love, while all the time we are resting at Home in Love’s Presence. The Holy Spirit, Heaven’s Help, is the means given us to release the mistaken images that seem to justify fear, guilt and attack.
In every moment we have the choice to accept Heaven’s Help that will show us the call for Love behind the appearance of fear, anger and guilt. Thus every situation becomes an opportunity for Love. As we extend Love, the seeming justification for guilt disappears and we recognize Love’s innocence, which we all share.
We dedicate today to accepting Heaven’s Help and make the day a day of Love’s extension.
