Love Lights the Way to Our True Treasure

…be glad to give some time to God today, and understand there is no better use for time than this.

Open your mind and rest. The world that seems to hold you prisoner can be escaped by anyone who does not hold it dear. Withdraw all value you have placed upon [the world’s] meager offerings and senseless gifts, and let the gift of God replace them all.

Call to your Father, certain that His Voice will answer. He Himself has promised this. And He Himself will place a spark of truth within your mind wherever you give up a false belief, a dark illusion of your own reality and what love means. He will shine through your idle thoughts today, and help you under­stand the truth of love. In loving gentleness He will abide with you, as you allow His Voice to teach love’s meaning to your clean and open mind. And He will bless the lesson with His Love.

We will remember [all our brothers] throughout the day, because we cannot leave a part of us outside our love if we would know our Self. (W-pI.127.7:2;8:2-4;9;12:1)

The world we live in seems to be all that is real. Yet it is only a dream that seems real only because of our belief in it. It is no more real than a dream we have when we are sleeping at night. These dreams can be very vivid and can lead to increased heart rate and fear stimulated by the images in the dream. Yet when we awaken from these dreams, we awaken only to the ego’s dream of separation where the oneness of Love is denied.

We can awaken from this dream by withdrawing the value we give to our identity as a body and to things in the world we believe will bring us happiness and safety. The Course is teaching us that what we perceive in the world are empty images with no meaning of their own. It is only the value we give these illusionary images that seem to give them meaning. In every now moment, we can withdraw the value we have mistakenly given to these images.

To help us recognize the reality of Love that has been hidden by these ego based images, God gave us His Voice to bring His Light to enlighten our dream. Each time we pause to relax into the peace of God within, we welcome His Love. Here we find the only lasting and true value, God’s Love.

Today we dedicate to practicing stepping back and letting Love light the way to our true treasure — God’s gift of Love.
