Accepting the Touch of Christ

All things are given you. ²God’s trust in you is limitless. ³He knows His Son. ⁴He gives without exception, holding nothing back that can contribute to your happiness. ⁵And yet, unless your will is one with His, His gifts are not received. ⁶But what would make you think there is another will than His?

Here is the paradox that underlies the making of the world. ²This world is not the Will of God, and so it is not real.

Yet in his lonely, senseless wanderings, God’s gifts go with him, all unknown to him. ²He cannot lose them. ³But he will not look at what is given him. ⁴He wanders on, aware of the futility he sees about him everywhere, perceiving how his little lot but dwindles, as he goes ahead to nowhere. ⁵Still he wanders on in misery and poverty, alone though God is with him, and a treasure his so great that everything the world contains is valueless before its magnitude.

³One walks with you Who gently answers all your fears with this one merciful reply, “It is not so.” ⁴He points to all the gifts you have each time the thought of poverty oppresses you, and speaks of His Companionship when you perceive yourself as lonely and afraid.”

²Become the living proof of what Christ’s touch can offer everyone. ³God has entrusted all His gifts to you. ⁴Be witness in your happiness to how transformed the mind becomes which chooses to accept His gifts, and feel the touch of Christ. (A Course in Miracles, W-166.1:1–2:2;5;1:3-4;15:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 166 Insights.)

We are never alone. Loneliness is a sign of misidentification with the ego. The ego is the choice to be separate, limited and alone. It is the denial of God’s gifts of all His Love, peace and joy.

When we forgive our mistaken beliefs, the illusion of a world of ephemeral images that never last fades into the background. As we forgive the world of all we thought it was, the vision of Christ shows us the unity of Love. We see nothing that disturbs our peace of mind, We joyously accept our oneness with our brothers. We experience the blessings of living in God’s Love.
