Remembering Our Safety in Love

Today I learn the law of love; that what I give my brother is my gift to me.

This is Your law, my Father, not my own. I have not understood what giving means, and thought to save what I desired for myself alone. And as I looked upon the treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty place where nothing ever was or is or will be. Who can share a dream? And what can an illusion offer me? Yet he whom I forgive will give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. Let my forgiven brothers fill my store with Heaven’s treasures, which alone are real. Thus is the law of love fulfilled. And thus Your Son arises and returns to You.

How near we are to one another, as we go to God. How near is He to us. How close the ending of the dream of sin, and the redemption of the Son of God.” (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 344, W-pII.344. See also ACIM Lesson 344 Insights.)

When we forgive a brother, we clear away a barrier to the awareness of Love’s presence. We allow the Love that is the truth in our brother to be reflected back to us. Thus the gift of forgiveness is a gift to ourself. It allows Christ’s vision to replace the ego’s projections of loveless images. Christ’s vision shows us the Love that is our Home. It brings us the peace and happiness that comes with God’s gift of Love.

The ego’s world presents myriad images that seem to justify hate and fear. Yet these are empty images based on the mistaken belief that separation is real. We need not be controlled by the ego’s projections. We are not the ego. We are God’s Son, complete and whole in the universe of God’s Love.

Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s help to heal our fear-based thoughts and lead us to the forgiveness that will return us Home to the safety, peace and joy of God’s Love.
