Awakening to the Certainty of Love

If I accept that I am prisoner within a body, in a world in which all things that seem to live appear to die, then is my Father prisoner with me. ²And this do I believe, when I maintain the laws the world obeys must I obey; the frailties and the sins which I perceive are real, and cannot be escaped. ³If I am bound in any way, I do not know my Father nor my Self. ⁴And I am lost to all reality. ⁵For truth is free, and what is bound is not a part of truth.

Father, I ask for nothing but the truth. ²I have had many foolish thoughts about myself and my creation, and have brought a dream of fear into my mind. ³Today, I would not dream. ⁴I choose the way to You instead of madness and instead of fear. ⁵For truth is safe, and only love is sure. (A Course in Miracles, W-278. See also ACIM Lesson 278 Insights.)

Our true Self is Love, the same Love that God is. When we experience fear or guilt, it is only because we are believing the dream we are experiencing is real. In truth, Love has no opposite. It cannot harm or be harmed. This is our safety, our joy and peace.

We can awaken to the certainty of Love with the practice of asking the Holy Spirit to interpret all things we see and feel. As we let Him be the judge, we learn of our safety in the changeless Love of God. We practice following Him today.

Knowing the Peace of God

To mean you want the peace of God is to renounce all dreams. ²For no one means these words who wants illusions, and who therefore seeks the means which bring illusions. ³He has looked on them, and found them wanting. ⁴Now he seeks to go beyond them, recognizing that another dream would offer nothing more than all the others. ⁵Dreams are one to him. ⁶And he has learned their only difference is one of form, for one will bring the same despair and misery as do the rest.

This is the choice you make. ²Be not deceived that it is otherwise. ³No compromise is possible in this. ⁴You choose God’s peace, or you have asked for dreams. ⁵And dreams will come as you requested them. ⁶Yet will God’s peace come just as certainly, and to remain with you forever.

For you was peace created, given you by its Creator, and established as His Own eternal gift. ²How can you fail, when you but ask for what He wills for you? ³And how could your request be limited to you alone? ⁴No gift of God can be unshared. ⁵It is this attribute that sets the gifts of God apart from every dream that ever seemed to take the place of truth.

²With Help like this beside us, can we fail today as we request the peace of God be given us? (A Course in Miracles, W-185.5;9:1-6;12:1-5;14:2. See also ACIM Lesson 185 Insights.)

We cannot see anything or anyone as separate from us and know the peace of God. As we go through today, we ask the Holy Spirit to help us see past the forms in the dream to the unity of Love. Where Love is recognized, there can be no judgment. The Love that created us and that we are sees Itself everywhere. Nothing else exists.

As we accept Love’s vision as our own, we will have a happy and peaceful day. We will share that peace with everyone we see or even think about. We will know we have the peace of God.

Bringing God’s Love to the World

⁴Like earthly messengers, they did not write the messages they bear, but they become their first receivers in the truest sense, receiving to prepare themselves to give.

Would you receive the messages of God? ²For thus do you become His messenger. ³You are appointed now. ⁴And yet you wait to give the messages you have received. ⁵And so you do not know that they are yours, and do not recognize them. ⁶No one can receive and understand he has received until he gives. ⁷For in the giving is his own acceptance of what he received.

²He needs our voice that He may speak through us. ³He needs our hands to hold His messages, and carry them to those whom He appoints. ⁴He needs our feet to bring us where He wills, that those who wait in misery may be at last delivered. ⁵And He needs our will united with His Own, that we may be the true receivers of the gifts He gives.

²I am among the ministers of God, and I am
grateful that I have the means by which to
recognize that I am free.

The world recedes as we light up our minds, and realize these holy words are true. ²They are the message sent to us today from our Creator. ³Now we demonstrate how they have changed our minds about ourselves, and what our function is. ⁴For as we prove that we accept no will we do not share, our many gifts from our Creator will spring to our sight and leap into our hands, and we will recognize what we received. (A Course in Miracles, W-154.6:4;8;11:2-5;13:2–14:4. See also ACIM Lesson 154 Insights.)

We have the privilege of being a messenger of God. His messages bring us blessing. They tell us of His Love. His messages are intended first for us. They become ours to give when we accept them for ourselves.

The core of every message from God is His Love for us, His Son. As we accept His Love, we naturally share It with the world. That is what Love does.

Today we would be God’s messenger, for we would bring His Love to the world.

We Let Love Lead the Way

I follow in the way appointed me.

I have a special place to fill; a role for me alone. ²Salvation waits until I take this part as what I choose to do. ³Until I make this choice, I am the slave of time and human destiny. ⁴But when I willingly and gladly go the way my Father’s plan appointed me to go, then will I recognize salvation is already here, already given all my brothers and already mine as well.

Father, Your way is what I choose today. ²Where it would lead me do I choose to go; what it would have me do I choose to do. ³Your way is certain, and the end secure. ⁴The memory of You awaits me there. ⁵And all my sorrows end in Your embrace, which You have promised to Your Son, who thought mistakenly that he had wandered from the sure protection of Your loving Arms. (A Course in Miracles, W-317. See also ACIM Lesson 317 Insights.)
