I Would Remember Only Love Is Real

Mary:
This is my prayer today:

Holy Spirit, I offer you this perception of differences. I would remember that only Love is real. I would remember my true Identity today. I would see the face of Christ in every brother to remember my one Self.

Robert:
I have observed that I have an unconscious range of how much unhappiness and how much happiness I will tolerate. I can go for awhile with a low level sense of dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction often is not consciously acknowledged, but manifests as quick frustration when something doesn’t happen the way I want it to or a defensive reaction to what someone says or does.

On the other side of this, I have observed that sometimes when I am experiencing a period of happiness and peace, thoughts will come into my mind that something might go wrong. It’s as though I need to do something to reduce the happiness a little to keep it within the range I can accept. Spelled out like this, this is clearly insane.

But this is the way the ego wants it. If I get too unhappy I will start looking for a better way and if I get too happy, I will stop judging, forgive the world and accept the Love that I am. The ego does not want either of these to happen, for it would lose control. As long as I am willing to put up with a level of ongoing judgment of self and others, I am continuing to subscribe to the ego’s belief in separation.

But this is not what I really want. I want to remember Who I am. I want to remember the Love of my Source and my Creator. I want to remember the Love of my brother, who is one with me. I want to remember the Love that I am.

My prayer today is: Help me recognize the thoughts that separate me from Love. Help me to see the Love that is my Home and accept It in myself. Help me remember I am God’s beloved Son, along with all my brothers.
