We Let Love Be Itself

I am spirit.

²I am the Son of God. ³No body can contain my spirit, nor impose on me a limitation God created not.

I will accept my part in God’s plan for salvation.

²What can my function be but to accept the Word of God, Who has created me for what I am and will forever be? (A Course in Miracles, W-114.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 114 Insights.)

We have the power to bless the entire world with Love. We are not limited by a body. We do not have to go anywhere or do anything with our body to do this. We can do this because we are spirit. Spirit has no limits. It is eternally one with all in the Love of God.

To accept our part in God’s plan for salvation we need only forgive our attachment to a body as our identity. Each time we let go of a judgment and let the Holy Spirit show us the presence of Love beyond the body, we loosen our attachment to a separate identity. We see the world through the eyes of forgiveness. We let Love be Itself.

Choosing to Walk with Our Mighty Companion

…watch your mind and see… the senseless world you think is real. ⁶Review the thoughts as well which are compatible with such a world, and which you think are true. ⁷Then let them go, and sink below them to the holy place where they can enter not. ⁸There is a door beneath them in your mind, which you could not completely lock to hide what lies beyond.

Put out your hand, and see how easily the door swings open with your one intent to go beyond it. ²Angels light the way, so that all darkness vanishes, and you are standing in a light so bright and clear that you can understand all things you see. …the world you see before you in the light reflects the truth you knew, and did not quite forget in wandering away in dreams.

You cannot fail today. ²There walks with you the Spirit Heaven sent you, that you might approach this door some day, and through His aid slip effortlessly past it, to the light. ³Today that day has come. (A Course in Miracles, W-131.11:5-8;13;14:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 131 Insights.)

The Holy Spirit, our best Friend, walks with us today, as He always has. Today we choose to welcome His companionship. We trust that He knows the path that will lead us to the Light within. In this Light, all is forgiven. Only Love is experienced.

We are grateful for our mighty Companion. He remembers for us the Love we have forgotten in our dreams of separation and fear. We feel the comfort He brings with His certainty of our eternal unity with our Creator. We accept His help to forgive our mistaken beliefs and walk with Him to freedom to be the limitless Love that is our natural state.

Welcoming the Holy Spirit’s Loving Correction

I will not be afraid of love today.

If I could realize but this today, salvation would be reached for all the world. ²This the decision not to be insane, and to accept myself as God Himself, my Father and my Source, created me. ³This the determination not to be asleep in dreams of death, while truth remains forever living in the joy of love. ⁴And this the choice to recognize the Self Whom God created as the Son He loves, and Who remains my one Identity.

Father, Your Name is Love and so is mine. ²Such is the truth. ³And can the truth be changed by merely giving it another name? ⁴The name of fear is simply a mistake. ⁵Let me not be afraid of truth today. (A Course in Miracles, W-282. See also ACIM Lesson 282 Insights.)

Our true Identity is Love. The ego is the denial of this fact. In its denial of reality, the ego must make up a world of illusions that support its denial of Love. Because fear is the absence of Love, fear pervades the ego’s world.

Forgiveness is the way out of the ego’s world. When we forgive our identification with the ego, we let go of our barriers to Love. We let the Light of our true Identity shine brighter in our mind. We experience a greater peace because of the stability of Love’s oneness. We trust in Love’s certainty, knowing Love does not change.

Today we ask the Holy Spirit’s help to recognize our mistaken perceptions and welcome His loving corrections.

Forgiveness Brings Peace of Mind

My true Identity abides in You.

Father, I made an image of myself, and it is this I call the Son of God. ²Yet is creation as it always was, for Your creation is unchangeable. ³Let me not worship idols. ⁴I am he my Father loves. ⁵My holiness remains the light of Heaven and the Love of God. ⁶Is not what is beloved of You secure? ⁷Is not the light of Heaven infinite? ⁸Is not Your Son my true Identity, when You created everything that is?

Now are we one in shared Identity, with God our Father as our only Source, and everything created part of us. ²And so we offer blessing to all things, uniting lovingly with all the world, which our forgiveness has made one with us. (A Course in Miracles, W-283. See also ACIM Lesson 283 Insights.)

The truth is that we all share the one Identity of God’s Son. The truth that unites all of us is Love. Nothing else is real. It is accepting this fact that sets us free from the limitations the ego tries to impose.

We have the means to free ourselves from the limited thought system of individuality and separateness that is the ego. Forgiveness of our mistaken beliefs welcomes Love’s oneness.

Today, when we notice anything that is disturbing our peace of mind, we ask the Holy Spirit to help us see through eyes of forgiveness. With His help we will recognize that what is disturbing us is not real. Our forgiving eyes show us our unity in our Identity as Love and nothing else. Through forgiveness we find peace of mind.

Forgiveness Reveals Love’s Eternal Presence

I can be free of suffering today.

Father, I thank You for today, and for the freedom I am certain it will bring. ²This day is holy, for today Your Son will be redeemed. ³His suffering is done. ⁴For he will hear Your Voice directing him to find Christ’s vision through forgiveness, and be free forever from all suffering. ⁵Thanks for today, my Father. ⁶I was born into this world but to achieve this day, and what it holds in joy and freedom for Your holy Son and for the world he made, which is released along with him today.

Be glad today! ²Be glad! ³There is no room for anything but joy and thanks today. ⁴Our Father has redeemed His Son this day. ⁵Not one of us but will be saved today. ⁶Not one who will remain in fear, and none the Father will not gather to Himself, awake in Heaven in the Heart of Love. (A Course in Miracles, W-340. See also ACIM Lesson 340 Insights.)

It may seem that the end of suffering is a long way off. That is the story the ego tells us. It uses belief in time as a tool to convince us that separation is real. It tells us the past determines our future. The ego does not want us to remember the reality of Love, which is ever present in the now moment.

We can claim our Reality by forgiving our attachment to the ego’s stories. This is why Christ’s vision, which sees through forgiveness, is the key to freedom from pain. In every moment of every day, Christ’s vision offers us the vision of Love, all encompassing, uniting us with Reality.

When we are willing to exclude nothing from our forgiveness, we will experience the peace and happiness which are our birthright.

Remembering Our Safety in Love

I am affected only by my thoughts.

It needs but this to let salvation come to all the world. ²For in this single thought is everyone released at last from fear. ³Now has he learned that no one frightens him, and nothing can endanger him. ⁴He has no enemies, and he is safe from all external things. ⁵His thoughts can frighten him, but since these thoughts belong to him alone, he has the power to change them and exchange each fear thought for a happy thought of love. ⁶He crucified himself. ⁷Yet God has planned that His beloved Son will be redeemed.

Your plan is sure, my Father,—only Yours. ²All other plans will fail. ³And I will have thoughts that will frighten me, until I learn that You have given me the only Thought that leads me to salvation. ⁴Mine alone will fail, and lead me nowhere. ⁵But the Thought You gave me promises to lead me home, because it holds Your promise to Your Son. (A Course in Miracles, W-338. See also ACIM Lesson 338 Insights.)

The ego is the thought of fear, the denial of Love. Our true Self is the Thought of Love extended without limit. Because Love is eternal and all that is real, ego thoughts have no effect on it whatsoever. Love is our safety, our certainty that we remain as God created us.

Though we may dream of fear, the thought of Love remains with us. It speaks to us. When we choose to listen, It guides us to see past the ego’s images of fear to the reality of Love. The Voice of Love inspires us to be the Love we truly are. It helps us see past the images of fear and recognize they have no effect whatsoever on our reality as God’s Son.

Today we choose to listen to this Voice. As we accept Its message, we find peace and joy.

Resting in the Love of Our Creator

My sinlessness protects me from all harm.

My sinlessness ensures me perfect peace, eternal safety, everlasting love, freedom forever from all thought of loss; complete deliverance from suffering. ²And only happiness can be my state, for only happiness is given me. ³What must I do to know all this is mine? ⁴I must accept Atonement for myself, and nothing more. ⁵God has already done all things that need be done. ⁶And I must learn I need do nothing of myself, for I need but accept my Self, my sinlessness, created for me, now already mine, to feel God’s Love protecting me from harm, to understand my Father loves His Son; to know I am the Son my Father loves.

You Who created me in sinlessness are not mistaken about what I am. ²I was mistaken when I thought I sinned, but I accept Atonement for myself. ³Father, my dream is ended now. ⁴Amen. (A Course in Miracles, W-337. See also ACIM Lesson 337 Insights.)

We are not what we believe we are. We are not a body. We do not live in a world where there are billions of other bodies. Our seeming existence in this world is not our life.

Our real Life exists in the oneness of God’s Love. There are no differences in His Love. Loss is impossible. The only thing that stands between us and the experience of our real Life is the mistaken wish that we could keep something for ourselves alone.

To accept the Atonement for ourselves is to let go of our mistaken wish for specialness. This mistaken wish sends us on a quest that can never be fully satisfied. But forgiving that wish leads to peace eternal and joy without limit. It acknowledges that we rest in the Love of our Creator.

Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive our mistaken wishes. We are are grateful for His help.
