There is a light that this world cannot give. ²Yet you can give it, as it was given you. ³And as you give it, it shines forth to call you from the world and follow it. ⁴For this light will attract you as nothing in this world can do. ⁵And you will lay aside the world and find another. ⁶This other world is bright with love which you have given it. ⁷And here will everything remind you of your Father and His holy Son. ⁸Light is unlimited, and spreads across this world in quiet joy. ⁹All those you brought with you will shine on you, and you will shine on them in gratitude because they brought you here. ¹⁰Your light will join with theirs in power so compelling, that it will draw the others out of darkness as you look on them.
Awaking unto Christ is following the laws of love of your free will, and out of quiet recognition of the truth in them. ²The attraction of light must draw you willingly, and willingness is signified by giving. ³Those who accept love of you become your willing witnesses to the love you gave them, and it is they who hold it out to you. ⁴In sleep you are alone, and your awareness is narrowed to yourself. ⁵And that is why the nightmares come. ⁶You dream of isolation because your eyes are closed. ⁷You do not see your brothers, and in the darkness you cannot look upon the light you gave to them. (A Course in Miracles, T-13.VI.11–12. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
The body’s eyes are part of the illusion of separation, which denies Love’s oneness. They cannot see the truth in our brothers. But we have Christ’s vision in our mind which sees only the Love that is the true Identity of everyone. The Love that is our true Self gives love freely to all. This Love is reflected back to us, reminding us of our true Identity. We receive what we give.
Today we ask that Love be our Guide. We want Love to be our inspiration in our thoughts, words and actions.
