Perhaps you think that different kinds of love are possible. Perhaps you think there is a kind of love for this, a kind for that; a way of loving one, another way of loving still another. Love is one. It has no separate parts and no degrees; no kinds nor levels, no divergencies and no distinctions. It is like itself, unchanged throughout. It never alters with a person or a circumstance. It is the Heart of God, and also of His Son.
Love cannot judge. As it is one itself, it looks on all as one. Its meaning lies in oneness. And it must elude the mind that thinks of it as partial or in part. There is no love but God’s, and all of love is His. There is no other principle that rules where love is not. Love is a law without an opposite. Its wholeness is the power holding everything as one, the link between the Father and the Son which holds Them both forever as the same.
Love’s meaning is your own, and shared by God Himself. For what you are is what He is. There is no love but His, and what He is, is everything there is. There is no limit placed upon Himself, and so are you unlimited as well. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 127, W-pI.127.1;3;4:2-5. See also ACIM Lesson 127 Insights.)
Love’s sole function is to extend Love. Because we were created by Love as Love, our sole true function is to extend Love. To be true to our Self, we must let go of all judgment, for judgment denies Love.
The practice of forgiveness, letting go of judgment, is how we return to our true Self. It is how we return to Love. This means we must see every brother as Love, at one with us. We must see past differences in form, behavior, beliefs and attitudes. All these are but aspects of the ego thought system which denies Love.
We have all the help we need to receive the clear vision that sees our brother as our Self. We need only reach out and accept the helping hand of the Holy Spirit. He will strengthen our little willingness with His certainty that we remain as Love created us, whole, changeless and eternal.
Today we would accept His help and welcome His clear vision that will lead us Home.
