Accepting Our Life in God’s Love

There is one life, and that I share with God.

In this world, there appears to be a state that is life’s opposite. ²You call it death. ³Yet we have learned that the idea of death takes many forms. ⁴It is the one idea which underlies all feelings that are not supremely happy. ⁵[Death] is the alarm to which you give response of any kind that is not perfect joy. ⁶All sorrow, loss, anxiety and suffering and pain, even a little sigh of weariness, a slight discomfort or the merest frown, acknowledge death. ⁷And thus deny you live.

Let us today be children of the truth, and not deny our holy heritage. ²Our life is not as we imagine it. ³Who changes life because he shuts his eyes, or makes himself what he is not because he sleeps, and sees in dreams an opposite to what he is? ⁴We will not ask for death in any form today. ⁵Nor will we let imagined opposites to life abide even an instant where the Thought of life eternal has been set by God Himself. (A Course in Miracles, W-167.2;10. See also ACIM Lesson 167 Insights.)

Perfect joy is our natural state of mind. It is the condition we share with our Creator, our Source of Life. All that God is He has given to His Son, our true Self. Nothing can change what God created One with Himself.

We are grateful that we can bring all perceptions that disturb our peace and joy to the Holy Spirit. He will help us see past our imaged images that disturb us to the certainty of changeless Love that is our true Identity. With this certainty, we let go of our illusions and accept the Life we live in God.
