Today I can forget the world I made. Today I can go past all fear, and be restored to love and holiness and peace.
And so, our Father, we return to You, remembering we never went away; remembering Your holy gifts to us. In gratitude and thankfulness we come, with empty hands and open hearts and minds, asking but what You give. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.306.1:2-3;2:1-2)
Love and holiness and peace are already ours. The world we see through the body seems to be the complete opposite of this, because it is the effect of believing that we have successfully separated from peace and Love and holiness. Yet even though we see a world of conflict and fear, we still have the gifts God gave in creating His Son. We are still His one Son; we are not the image we have made of ourselves as a body, weak and vulnerable, destined to die.
We can remember the gifts that are already ours and the truth that we are united as God’s one Son. This remembering comes when we are willing to lay down the images we have made. We do this by letting the Holy Spirit replace these images with Christ’s vision of the truth. As we come with empty hands, an open mind and a willing heart, we remember that we remain Love as Love created us.
