He has remembered you. Today we will remember Him. For this is Eastertime in your salvation. And you rise again from what was seeming death and hopelessness. Now is the light of hope reborn in you, for now you come without defense, to learn the part for you within the plan of God. What little plans or magical beliefs can still have value, when you have received your function from the Voice for God Himself?”
…remind yourself this is a special day for learning, and acknowledge it with this:
This is my Eastertime [resurrection from seeming death and hopelessness].
And I would keep it holy.
I will not defend myself, because the Son of God
needs no defense against the truth of his reality. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 135, W-pI.135.25;26:5-7. See also ACIM Lesson 135 Insights.)
When we believe our identity is in a body in a world of form, we are unaware of our true Identity in the unity of Spirit. With this mistaken identification, it seems like sacrifice to give up our identity. Yet this false identity is itself a sacrifice of the Love, peace and joy of our true Identity in God.
Letting go of the false identity is really letting go of nothing, an empty dream, to make way to remember the Life we live in God. What better investment could we make than to invest our belief in the truth, which brings us everything as we withdraw our belief in a false identity which offers nothing.
Today we remember that all we really want is already given us. We are willing to accept God’s gifts now.
