Accepting God’s Gift of Love

What do you want? ²Light or darkness, knowledge or ignorance are yours, but not both. ³Opposites must be brought together, not kept apart. ⁴For their separation is only in your mind, and they are reconciled by union, as you are. ⁵In union, everything that is not real must disappear, for truth is union. ⁶As darkness disappears in light, so ignorance fades away when knowledge dawns.

The Holy Spirit asks of you but this; bring to Him every secret you have locked away from Him. ²Open every door to Him, and bid Him enter the darkness and lighten it away. ³At your request He enters gladly. ⁴He brings the light to darkness if you make the darkness open to Him.

⁷The single vision which the Holy Spirit offers you will bring this oneness to your mind with clarity and brightness so intense you could not wish, for all the world, not to accept what God would have you have. (A Course in Miracles, T-14.VII.1:1-6;6:1-4;7:7. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

A child is afraid of the dark because of what he imagines is hiding there that he cannot see. The images in the dream of separation are hidden in the dark where the Light of Love is denied. We cannot see what we believe is not there.

The Holy Spirit is in our mind offering us the Light that will dispel the imagined images that make us fearful and defensive. We do not need to defend against the darkness. He needs only our willingness to open the door to welcome the Love that reveals the real world, where there is nothing but the peace and joy of Love. Today we bring our dark perceptions of differences to Him with willingness to accept His Gift of Love.
