Choosing Love’s Oneness in Place of Specialness

I will receive whatever I request.

No one desires pain. ²But he can think that pain is pleasure. ³No one would avoid his happiness. ⁴But he can think that joy is painful, threatening and dangerous. ⁵Everyone will receive what he requests. ⁶But he can be confused indeed about the things he wants; the state he would attain. ⁷What can he then request that he would want when he receives it? ⁸He has asked for what will frighten him, and bring him suffering. ⁹Let us resolve today to ask for what we really want, and only this, that we may spend this day in fearlessness, without confusing pain with joy, or fear with love.

Father, this is Your day. ²It is a day in which I would do nothing by myself, but hear Your Voice in everything I do; requesting only what You offer me, accepting only Thoughts You share with me. (A Course in Miracles, W-339. See also ACIM Lesson 339 Insights.)

We ask for pain and sadness when we value a unique and special identity over our true Identity as Love in the oneness of our Father’s Love. The ego has no friends, although it seeks alliances that support its quest for special status.

We will have the joyous and peaceful day our Father wills for us when we align our minds with the Holy Spirit. He will help us recognize that we remain safe in our Father’s Love. Our true Self shares our Creator’s joy of extending Love without limit. Our true Self is confident that we are never alone because God goes with us wherever we go.
