Living A Course in Miracles — Letting Love Be

Letting Our Fear Thoughts Be Healed

I walk with God in perfect holiness.

Today’s idea but states the simple truth that makes the thought of sin impossible. ²It promises there is no cause for guilt, and being causeless it does not exist. ³It follows surely from the basic thought so often mentioned in the text; ideas leave not their source. ⁴If this be true, how can you be apart from God? ⁵How could you walk the world alone and separate from your Source?

⁴You cannot walk the world apart from God, because you could not be without Him. ⁵He is what your life is. ⁶Where you are He is. ⁷There is one life. ⁸That life you share with Him. ⁹Nothing can be apart from Him and live.

⁴In lightness and in laughter is sin gone, because its quaint absurdity is seen. ⁵It is a foolish thought, a silly dream, not frightening, ridiculous perhaps, but who would waste an instant in approach to God Himself for such a senseless whim?

Yet you have wasted many, many years on just this foolish thought. ²The past is gone, with all its fantasies. ³They keep you bound no longer. ⁴The approach to God is near. (A Course in Miracles, W-156.1;2:4-9;6:4–7:4. See also ACIM Lesson 156 Insights.)

Love is our Life. There is no life apart from Love. The idea that life could exist apart from eternal Love is an illusion.

Today we offer our mistaken beliefs to the Holy Spirit for His help to forgive them. As we let Him heal our thoughts which are barriers to Love, we will experience the joy and peace of God. We will remember we always walk with God.

Welcoming the Light of Love

The ego is insane. ²In fear it stands beyond the Everywhere, apart from All, in separation from the Infinite. ³In its insanity it thinks it has become a victor over God Himself.

The Son of God is egoless. ²What can he know of madness and the death of God, when he abides in Him? ³What can he know of sorrow and of suffering, when he lives in eternal joy? ⁴What can he know of fear and punishment, of sin and guilt, of hatred and attack, when all there is surrounding him is everlasting peace, forever conflict-free and undisturbed, in deepest silence and tranquility?

To know reality is not to see the ego and its thoughts, its works, its acts, its laws and its beliefs, its dreams, its hopes, its plans for its salvation, and the cost belief in it entails.

Yet will one lily of forgiveness change the darkness into light; the altar to illusions to the shrine of Life Itself. ²And peace will be restored forever to the holy minds which God created as His Son, His dwelling place, His joy, His love, completely His, completely one with Him. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.12.2:1-3;3;12.4:1;5)

The ego does not exist in truth. But our belief in it makes it seem real. We believe we are in its dream of conflict, attack, loss, fear and guilt. We believe the ego is our identity.

The ego is only the belief in a false identity. It denies our true Identity but does not change It in the least. Having accepted the ego’s denial, there is just one thing we must do. We must let go of its denial of Love. This is what forgiveness does.

Each judgment we forgive welcomes the Light of Love into our mind. We are grateful that we have been given the Holy Spirit to help us forgive our mistaken beliefs. With His help, we let the Light of Love fill our mind.

We Are Eternally Safe in God’s Love

I let forgiveness rest upon all things, for thus forgiveness will be given me.

I thank You, Father, for Your plan to save me from the hell I made. ²It is not real. ³And You have given me the means to prove its unreality to me. ⁴The key is in my hand, and I have reached the door beyond which lies the end of dreams. ⁵I stand before the gate of Heaven, wondering if I should enter in and be at home. ⁶Let me not wait again today. ⁷Let me forgive all things, and let creation be as You would have it be and as it is. ⁸Let me remember that I am Your Son, and opening the door at last, forget illusions in the blazing light of truth, as memory of You returns to me.

Brother, forgive me now. ²I come to you to take you home with me. ³And as we go, the world goes with us on our way to God. (A Course in Miracles, W-342. See also ACIM Lesson 342 Insights.)

Every one offers us the opportunity to forgive our misperceptions and join with him to return Home to the Heaven of God’s Love. We join with the truth in him that is the oneness of Love that keeps us eternally united with our Father.

Today we ask the Holy Spirit to help us purify our minds of fear-based thoughts which deny the Love we are. With His help we will remember we are God’s one Son, held safely in the changelessness of His Love.
