Accepting the Holy Spirit’s Lessons in Love

I can give up but what was never real.

I sacrifice illusions; nothing more. ²And as illusions go I find the gifts illusions tried to hide, awaiting me in shining welcome, and in readiness to give God’s ancient messages to me. ³His memory abides in every gift that I receive of Him. ⁴And every dream serves only to conceal the Self which is God’s only Son, the likeness of Himself, the Holy One Who still abides in Him forever, as He still abides in me.

Father, to You all sacrifice remains forever inconceivable. ²And so I cannot sacrifice except in dreams. ³As You created me, I can give up nothing You gave me. ⁴What You did not give has no reality. ⁵What loss can I anticipate except the loss of fear, and the return of love into my mind? (A Course in Miracles, W-322. See also ACIM Lesson 322 Insights.)

Only the value we give illusions makes letting them go seem to be a sacrifice. The moment we recognize that illusions have no value, they are freely released, with gratitude. Illusions are a veil that hides from our awareness God’s gift of all His Love.

The Holy Spirit has been given us as our personal Teacher to help us recognize there is no value in any illusion. With His Help, we learn to freely let go of illusions of separation. We joyfully accept His Love and the Love we see in every brother. This is the only meaningful purpose in our journey through the dream of this world.

Every conflict, every perception of loss is an opportunity to receive another lesson from our inner Teacher. The question we can ask ourselves is, “Am I willing to learn the lessons that set me free? Am I willing to let go of my judgments?” These are the same question. Today we gratefully accept the Holy Spirit’s lessons in Love.
