Christ Is Born in Us as We Extend Love

In this season (Christmas) which celebrates the birth of holiness into this world, join with me who decided for holiness for you. It is our task together to restore the awareness of magnitude to the host [His Son] whom God appointed for Himself. It is beyond all your littleness to give the gift of God, but not beyond you. For God would give Himself through you.

Is it a sacrifice to leave littleness behind, and wander not in vain? It is not sacrifice to wake to glory. But it is sacrifice to accept anything less than glory. Learn that you must be worthy of the Prince of Peace, born in you in honor of Him Whose host you are. …Before the greatness that lives in you, your poor appreciation of yourself and all the little offerings you give slip into nothingness.

I would but teach you what is yours, so that together we can replace the shabby littleness that binds the host of God to guilt and weakness with the glad awareness of the glory that is in him. My birth in you is your awakening to grandeur. Welcome me not into a manger, but into the altar to holiness, where holiness abides in perfect peace. My Kingdom is not of this world because it is in you. And you are of your Father. Let us join in honoring you, who must remain forever beyond littleness. (A Course in Miracles, T-15.iii,7:1-4;8:1-4,7;9:4-9. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

In this world we are unaware of our unbreakable unity with our Creator. This eternal unity is the source of our magnitude, for God shares all of Himself with His Son.

It is time to accept God’s gift of all of His Love. We accept It as we let go of our judgments by forgiving our mistaken belief that it is possible to limit God’s Creation. His Creation is as unlimited as He is. There is no limit to His Love, which extends forever. Love by Its nature extends forever. To know of our magnitude we must remove the barriers in our mind that limit the extension of Love through us.

We choose to accept the Holy Spirit’s lessons which teach us to look past the false images of the ego’s dream to the presence of Love everywhere, always. This is how we accept our part in God’s extension of Love.
