Gratitude to the One Self We Share

Thanks be to you, the holy Son of God. For as you were created, you contain all things within your Self. And you are still as God created you. Nor can you dim the light of your perfection. In your heart the Heart of God is laid. He holds you dear, because you are Himself. All gratitude belongs to you, because of what you are.

Give thanks as you receive it. Be you free of all ingratitude to anyone who makes your Self complete. And from this Self is no one left outside. Give thanks for all the countless channels which extend this Self. All that you do is given unto Him. All that you think can only be His Thoughts, sharing with Him the holy Thoughts of God. Earn now the gratitude you have denied yourself when you forgot the function God has given you. But never think that He has ever ceased to offer thanks to you. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.197.8-9)

We are being called to pay attention only to the Thoughts we share with God. These are the Thoughts of our one Self. These Thoughts are founded in the Love of our Self and extend that Love.

We answer this call by seeing through our one Self, which knows our oneness with the truth in all our brothers. When we see our brothers through the Love of our Self, our hearts are filled with gratitude, for gratitude is part of Love. As we see through our one Self, we set aside the petty judgments of the ego and welcome the grandeur of the Love of God, which we are and which we shall forever be. This is what we will see today as we answer the call. And we give thanks.
