Learning to Choose the Reality of Love

There is no end to all the peace and joy, and all the miracles that I will give, when I accept God’s Word. Why not today?

“Why should I wait, my Father, for the joy You promised me? ²For You will keep Your Word You gave Your Son in exile. ³I am sure my treasure waits for me, and I need but reach out my hand to find it. ⁴Even now my fingers touch it. ⁵It is very close. ⁶I need not wait an instant more to be at peace forever. ⁷It is You I choose, and my Identity along with You. ⁸Your Son would be Himself, and know You as his Father and Creator, and his Love.” (A Course in Miracles, W-355. See also ACIM Lesson 355 Insights.)

It only takes an instant to make a decision. That is all it takes for us to choose God in place of the ego as our identity. It only seems hard to make this decision because part of our mind still values the idea of specialness.

We have the means within our mind to help us learn that specialness has no value whatsoever. Only in illusions do specialness and differences seem real. We see illusions because we want to see them. The Course is helping us to see that these illusions offer nothing that we truly want.

Today we ask the Holy Spirit to help us sort the valuable from the valueless. As we learn to recognize the presence of Love everywhere, we will learn to recognize all that is truly valuable. Only Love is real. We want to learn to decide for Reality and accept our Identity as God’s Son.
