Let’s Be the Love We Are Today

The power of decision is our own. ²And we accept of Him that which we are, and humbly recognize the Son of God. ³To recognize God’s Son implies as well that all self-concepts have been laid aside, and recognized as false. ⁴Their arrogance has been perceived. ⁵And in humility the radiance of God’s Son, his gentleness, his perfect sinlessness, his Father’s Love, his right to Heaven and release from hell, are joyously accepted as our own.

Now do we join in glad acknowledgment that lies are false, and only truth is true. ²We think of truth alone as we arise, and spend five minutes practicing its ways, encouraging our frightened minds with this:

³The power of decision is my own. ⁴This day I will accept myself as what my Father’s Will created me to be.

⁵Then will we wait in silence, giving up all self-deceptions, as we humbly ask our Self that He reveal Himself to us. ⁶And He Who never left will come again to our awareness, grateful to restore His home to God, as it was meant to be.

In patience wait for Him throughout the day, and hourly invite Him with the words with which the day began, concluding it with this same invitation to your Self. ²God’s Voice will answer, for He speaks for you and for your Father. ³He will substitute the peace of God for all your frantic thoughts, the truth of God for self-deceptions, and God’s Son for your illusions of yourself. (A Course in Miracles, W-152.10-12. See also ACIM Lesson 152 Insights.)

Our true Self is happy, loving and calm. Nothing occurs to disturb Its peace. It joyfully sees Love everywhere and extends Itself in that oneness. Fear cannot occur to this Self. This is What we are.

If we do not experience this Self, it is because we have decided against It in favor of a separate identity. This choice to be separate brings with it fear and guilt, unhappiness and lack of peace. But we can choose to remember the Self that God created as His Son. Every time we lay aside a fearful thought, let go of a judgment or sense of guilt, we take a step towards awakening to our true Self.

Without a body and a personality, we join in the oneness of Love. We remember our Home in Love.  It is a happy day indeed.
