What Would Love Think?

I have said that you cannot change your mind by changing your behavior, but I have also said, and many times, that you can change your mind. When your mood tells you that you have chosen wrongly, and this is so whenever you are not joyous, then know this need not be. In every case you have thought wrongly about some brother God created, and are perceiving images your ego makes in a darkened glass. Think honestly what you have thought that God would not have thought, and what you have not thought that God would have you think. Search sincerely for what you have done and left undone accordingly, and then change your mind to think with God’s. This may seem hard to do, but it is much easier than trying to think against it. Your mind is one with God’s. Denying this and thinking otherwise has held your ego together, but has literally split your mind. As a loving brother I am deeply concerned with your mind, and urge you to follow my example as you look at yourself and at your brother, and see in both the glorious creations of a glorious Father. (A Course in Miracles T-4.IV.2)

God has one Thought that extends eternally — It is the Thought of Love. To decipher whether a thought is in line with God’s Thought, we can ask ourselves:
Would Love think this?
How would Love respond to this?
How would Love see this?

This passage is telling us that the truth in us is Love because Love is What created us. Love sees only innocence and perfect unity. This is what we will learn to see as we practice asking ourselves these questions. When we think with Love, joy is inevitable, for Love is complete and needs nothing but to extend Itself.
