Welcoming God’s Loving Embrace

I feel the Love of God within me now.

This is the world the Love of God reveals. ²It is so different from the world you see through darkened eyes of malice and of fear, that one belies the other. ³Only one can be perceived at all. ⁴The other one is wholly meaningless. ⁵A world in which forgiveness shines on everything, and peace offers its gentle light to everyone, is inconceivable to those who see a world of hatred rising from attack, poised to avenge, to murder and destroy.

Yet is the world of hatred equally unseen and inconceivable to those who feel God’s Love in them. ²Their world reflects the quietness and peace that shines in them; the gentleness and innocence they see surrounding them; the joy with which they look out from the endless wells of joy within. ³What they have felt in them they look upon, and see its sure reflection everywhere.

⁵If you feel the Love of God within you, you will look out on a world of mercy and of love. (W-189.3–4;5:5)

The Love of God is in us now. But while we identify with the ego, which is the denial of Love, we don’t feel Love’s presence. Denial of Love leads to hatred, fear and attack. This is because the substitute, loveless images the ego makes must be defended to be maintained.

To feel the Love of God, we simply have to stop denying Its presence. This is the undoing forgiveness offers. Forgiveness dispels the denial of Love and makes way for Love’s Light to shine upon our world. The dark shadows of denial are replaced with the warm, welcoming embrace of God’s Love everywhere, always.

Today we ask the Holy Spirit to help us release our mistaken perceptions and beliefs. As we let them go, the eternal gift of God’s Love is welcomed.
