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.

Learning to See Our One Self in Others

I choose to see my brother’s sinlessness.

Forgiveness is a choice. ²I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception. ³What I see in him is merely what I wish to see, because it stands for what I want to be the truth. ⁴It is to this alone that I respond, however much I seem to be impelled by outside happenings. ⁵I choose to see what I would look upon, and this I see, and only this. ⁶My brother’s sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my own. ⁷And I will see it, having chosen to behold my brother in its holy light.

What could restore Your memory to me, except to see my brother’s sinlessness? ²His holiness reminds me that he was created one with me, and like myself. ³In him I find my Self, and in Your Son I find the memory of You as well. (A Course in Miracles, W-335. See also ACIM Lesson 335 Insights.)

To see our brothers sinless, we must let Christ’s vision show us the Love he is beyond the form of the body. Love is one and has no form. When we let go of our wish for form to be real, which is the wish for specialness, we see the truth that unites us all in the Love of our Creator. When we are no longer attached to our own identity as a body, we are able to accept the one Self we share with every brother.

To help us make the transition from identifying as a body to seeing ourselves as one with all in Love, we have the Holy Spirit to be our Guide. He will help us see with the forgiving eyes of Christ. With this vision, we see past all form to our oneness with our Creator. We identify as God’s one Son. Here is where we find peace and joy.

The Only Way to Find Lasting Peace

Forgiveness lets me know that minds are joined.

Forgiveness is the means appointed for perception’s ending. ²Knowledge is restored after perception first is changed, and then gives way entirely to what remains forever past its highest reach. ³For sights and sounds, at best, can serve but to recall the memory that lies beyond them all. ⁴Forgiveness sweeps away distortions, and opens the hidden altar to the truth. ⁵Its lilies shine into the mind, and call it to return and look within, to find what it has vainly sought without. ⁶For here, and only here, is peace of mind restored, for this the dwelling place of God Himself.

In quiet may forgiveness wipe away my dreams of separation and of sin. ²Then let me, Father, look within, and find Your promise of my sinlessness is kept; Your Word remains unchanged within my mind, Your Love is still abiding in my heart. (A Course in Miracles, W-336. See also ACIM Lesson 336 Insights.)

The ego believes that it can find peace by arranging an outside world to its liking. This attitude affects all its relationships, its actions and what it says. If it can’t find it easily, it is willing to turn to violence to find the peace it seeks. But as always, the underlying ego principle of seek and do not find leaves the ego unsatisfied.

The means to find our desired peace does not lie in changing an external world, because it Is not real. The peace we seek is already in us. We find this peace by forgiving the wish for specialness, for seeing differences and being separate. With forgiveness, barriers to Love’s presence are laid down. The door is opened to the Love our Creator gave us. In Love’s oneness, we find the only real peace.

Today we ask the Holy Spirit to help us forgive our mistaken beliefs and find the peace of God.

Remembering That Only Love Is Real

I can attack but my own sinlessness, and it is only that which keeps me safe.

“Father, Your Son is holy. ²I am he on whom You smile in love and tenderness so dear and deep and still the universe smiles back on You, and shares Your Holiness. ³How pure, how safe, how holy, then, are we, abiding in Your Smile, with all Your Love bestowed upon us, living one with You, in brotherhood and Fatherhood complete; in sinlessness so perfect that the Lord of Sinlessness conceives us as His Son, a universe of Thought completing Him.

Let us not, then, attack our sinlessness, for it contains the Word of God to us. ²And in its kind reflection we are saved. (A Course in Miracles,W-341. See also ACIM Lesson 341 Insights.)

Every judgment the ego makes justifies guilt. It is this effect that keeps us believing we are separate from each other. This belief needs to be forgiven. As we forgive our judgments, we open the door for Holy Spirit’s one judgment that frees us from our own condemnation. He simply says our perceptions are not true because they are based on illusions. Only the truth of Love is real.

Today we choose Christ’s vision, which sees the truth of Love that is our reality. We are grateful for the gift of God’s Voice, which speaks to us of our eternal unity with all of God’s Creation.

The Path That Leads Us to Love

My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today have but one purpose; to be given Christ to use to bless the world with miracles.

Father, I give all that is mine today to Christ, to use in any way that best will serve the purpose that I share with Him. ²Nothing is mine alone, for He and I have joined in purpose. ³Thus has learning come almost to its appointed end. ⁴A while I work with Him to serve His purpose. ⁵Then I lose myself in my Identity, and recognize that Christ is but my Self. (A Course in Miracles, W-353. See also ACIM Lesson 353 Insights.)

Our true Self is Christ, God’s one Son. We are being called to give to our Christ Self all our resources to support our awakening to the Love we are. While the body was made as a limit on our Identity, it can be given a holy purpose. We choose our holy mission today.

We choose to let the Voice for God be our Guide for our thoughts and actions. As we follow His Guidance, we will discover the truth of our Identity. It is a choice to follow the path that leads us Home, where we live in perfect peace and happiness.

How to Claim Our True Identity

We stand together, Christ and I, in peace and certainty of purpose. And in Him is His Creator, as He is in me.

My oneness with the Christ establishes me as Your Son, beyond the reach of time, and wholly free of every law but Yours. ²I have no self except the Christ in me. ³I have no purpose but His Own. ⁴And He is like His Father. ⁵Thus must I be one with You as well as Him. ⁶For who is Christ except Your Son as You created Him? ⁷And what am I except the Christ in me? (A Course in Miracles, W-354. See also ACIM Lesson 354 Insights.)

Now is the time to claim our true Identity. Our Identity is not defined by the past, or what might be in the future. Love is now and always. It never changes and can only be accepted now in the present moment. While we believe we live in time, the eternal present in unknown to us. But we can forgive the past and free ourselves to welcome the eternal Identity God created as His Son.

We have the Holy Spirit ever ready to guide us to the full recognition of Love’s presence. We need only be willing to accept His guidance to forgive the past and accept eternal Love now. This is how we accept God’s gift to His one Son.

How to Find Peace in the World

My sinless brother is my guide to peace. My sinful brother is my guide to pain. And which I choose to see I will behold.

Who is my brother but Your holy Son? ²And if I see him sinful I proclaim myself a sinner, not a Son of God; alone and friendless in a fearful world. ³Yet this perception is a choice I make, and can relinquish. ⁴I can also see my brother sinless, as Your holy Son. ⁵And with this choice I see my sinlessness, my everlasting Comforter and Friend beside me, and my way secure and clear. ⁶Choose, then, for me, my Father, through Your Voice. ⁷For He alone gives judgment in Your Name. (A Course in Miracles, W-351. See also ACIM Lesson 351 Insights.)

Today can be a happy day if we choose to see our brother as the Love he is. As we see him, we see ourselves. The Love we are in truth is eternally united with every brother as God’s one Son.

We have the opportunity throughout this day to let God’s Voice teach us to see the truth of Love beyond appearances. This is how we bring healing to the world. This is how our mind is healed of mistaken beliefs that show us conflict instead of unity. This is how we find peace.
