Today I learn the law of love; that what I give my brother is my gift to me.
This is Your law, my Father, not my own. ²I have not understood what giving means, and thought to save what I desired for myself alone. ³And as I looked upon the treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty place where nothing ever was or is or will be. ⁴Who can share a dream? ⁵And what can an illusion offer me? ⁶Yet he whom I forgive will give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. ⁷Let my forgiven brothers fill my store with Heaven’s treasures, which alone are real. ⁸Thus is the law of love fulfilled. ⁹And thus Your Son arises and returns to You.
How near we are to one another, as we go to God. ²How near is He to us. ³How close the ending of the dream of sin, and the redemption of the Son of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-344. See also ACIM Lesson 344 Insights.)
All of us have a gift to give. It is a single gift that could be called the ‘mother’ of all gifts. It is the gift of Love. Love extends eternally. When given, It extends forever, being eternal. It is the only gift that can be given in truth, because It is all that is real. Because Love is one, this gift we give is a gift to ourselves as well.
Today we remind ourselves frequently to keep our mind open to the Guidance of the Voice for Love in our mind. It is our desire to join in the eternal flow of Love and bring Love’s blessing with us wherever we go and whatever we do.
