The Greatest Gift We Can Give

⁷Before the greatness that lives in you, your poor appreciation of yourself and all the little offerings you give slip into nothingness.

⁷When you have learned to accept what you are, you will make no more gifts to offer to yourself, for you will know you are complete, in need of nothing, and unable to accept anything for yourself. ⁸But you will gladly give, having received. ⁹The host of God need not seek to find anything.

If you are wholly willing to leave salvation to the plan of God and unwilling to attempt to grasp for peace yourself, salvation will be given you. ²Yet think not you can substitute your plan for His. ³Rather, join with me in His, that we may release all those who would be bound, proclaiming together that the Son of God is host to Him. ⁴Thus will we let no one forget what you would remember. ⁵And thus will you remember it.

Call forth in everyone only the remembrance of God, and of the Heaven that is in him. ²For where you would have your brother be, there will you think you are. ³Hear not his appeal to hell and littleness, but only his call for Heaven and greatness. (A Course in Miracles, T-15.III.8:7;10:7–12:3. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

There is no greater gift than the eternal, all encompassing, limitless Love God has given His Son. Likewise, the greatest gift we can give is to extend His Love to all. By this giving, we know What we have received.

Whenever we feel lack of any kind, it is only because we have rejected God’s gift. It manifests in our world as loneliness, sadness, fear and guilt. As we let the Holy Spirit teach us how to forgive our rejection of God’s Love, we recognize the gift we have been given. We realize we are complete in His Love and need nothing else.

Today we ask the Holy Spirit to help us see with the eyes of Love. Thus will we see Love and know that we are Love.
