Grace is acceptance of the Love of God within a world of seeming hate and fear. ²By grace alone the hate and fear are gone, for grace presents a state so opposite to everything the world contains, that those whose minds are lighted by the gift of grace can not believe the world of fear is real.
Oneness is simply the idea God is. ²And in His Being, He encompasses all things. ³No mind holds anything but Him. ⁴We say “God is,” and then we cease to speak, for in that knowledge words are meaningless. ⁵There are no lips to speak them, and no part of mind sufficiently distinct to feel that it is now aware of something not itself. ⁶It has united with its Source. ⁷And like its Source Itself, it merely is.
³What is the face of Christ but his who went a moment into timelessness, and brought a clear reflection of the unity he felt an instant back to bless the world?
Be grateful to return, as you were glad to go an instant, and accept the gifts that grace provided you.
³By grace I live. ⁴By grace I am released.
⁵By grace I give. ⁶By grace I will release. (A Course in Miracles, W-169.2;5;13:3;14:1;15:3-6. See also ACIM Lesson 169 Insights.)
The wish for specialness denies the Love of God. But when we accept His Love, the ego’s propensity to judge is neutralized. Perceptions of differences have faded into the nothingness of from which they came. We know that we remain united with our Father in His Love.
We look on every brother with grace, recognizing our unity with him in the reality of Love. We live in the eternal giving and receiving of Love.
