Learning to Identify with the Love We Are

Let me not see myself as limited.

Let me behold the Son of God today, and witness to his glory. ²Let me not try to obscure the holy light in him, and see his strength diminished and reduced to frailty; nor perceive the lacks in him with which I would attack his sovereignty.

He is Your Son, my Father. ²And today I would behold his gentleness instead of my illusions. ³He is what I am, and as I see him so I see myself. ⁴Today I would see truly, that this day I may at last identify with him. (A Course in Miracles, W-250. See also ACIM Lesson 250 Insights.)

What we believe we are is what we believe our brothers are. If we identify with the ego thought system, we will see ourselves and our brothers as subject to the ego’s limitations. These limitations keep us in fear and guilt. They generate a need for defense and competition, all in the quest for specialness.

It is time to lay down our mistaken identification with limitations. As His Son, all God’s Love and strength are ours. He has set no limits on what He gives. We can change our identification by being willing to offer all our perceptions to the Holy Spirit for reinterpretation.

He will show us the strength and Love of our brothers. He will teach us that we share that strength and Love. With this practice we will remember the Love we are. We will know that we are invulnerable because nothing can change the Love that is our true Self.
