Choosing Christ’s Vision

You make what you defend against, and by your own defense against it is it real and inescapable. ⁷Lay down your arms, and only then do you perceive it false.

The choice you make today is certain. ²For you look for the last time upon this bit of carven stone you made, and call it god no longer. …⁶And you return to a new world, unburdened by its weight; beheld not in its sightless eyes, but in the vision that your choice restored to you.

Now do your eyes belong to Christ, and He looks through them. ²Now your voice belongs to God and echoes His. ³And now your heart remains at peace forever.

Father, we are like You. ²No cruelty abides in us, for there is none in You. ³Your peace is ours. ⁴And we bless the world with what we have received from You alone. ⁵We choose again, and make our choice for all our brothers, knowing they are one with us. ⁶We bring them Your salvation as we have received it now. ⁷And we give thanks for them who render us complete. ⁸In them we see Your glory, and in them we find our peace. ⁹Holy are we because Your Holiness has set us free. ¹⁰And we give thanks. ¹¹Amen. (A Course in Miracles, W-170.2:6-7;11:1-2,6–12:3;13. See also ACIM Lesson 170 Insights.)

Our one problem, the cause of all our misery and fear, is our choice to value specialness over the oneness of our Father’s Love. In every instant we are free to make a different choice. We can lay down our mistaken values, and choose to forgive ourselves for our mistaken choice. We set ourselves free to accept the vision of Christ.

Now we clearly see the Love that unites us with all the universe. Nothing is left out of our all encompassing Love. Our mind is at peace. Joy fills our heart as we experience the blessing of freely sharing God’s Love with all.
