Letting the Light of Love Guide Our Way

I will there be light.

I will use the power of my will today. It is not my will to grope about in darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of things unseen and unreal. Light shall be my guide today. I will follow it where it leads me, and I will look only on what it shows me. This day I will experience the peace of true perception.

There is no will but God’s.

I am safe today because there is no will but God’s. I can become afraid only when I believe there is another will. I try to attack only when I am afraid, and only when I try to attack can I believe that my eternal safety is threatened. Today I will recognize that all this has not occurred. I am safe because there is no will but God’s.

Let me perceive this in accordance with the Will of God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 87, W-pI.87.1;3;4:2. See also ACIM Lesson 87 Insights.)

Love is the Light in which we see with true perception. This Light reveals the presence of Love beyond the dark shadows of the ego’s denial of Love. God’s Will is that we have all of Love eternally. When we choose to let Love guide our perception, we choose to perceive in accordance with God’s Will.

Feeling guilty or afraid is a sign that we believe our will is in opposition to God’s Will. We have accepted the ego’s belief that separation is real. This belief is in direct opposition to God’s Will that only the oneness of Love is real. Only in dreams could the ego’s belief seem to be true. Dreams are not real and have no effect on Reality.

We remain eternally safe in the Love of God. To awaken from dreams of fear and death, we need to choose the Light of Love as our Guide for all our perceptions. Today we remind ourselves often that we want to perceive with Love and let all our actions be guided by Love. With this practice we accept God’s Will for us to share His peace and joy.
