All fear is past and only love is here.
All fear is past, because its source is gone, and all its thoughts gone with it. ²Love remains the only present state, whose Source is here forever and forever. ³Can the world seem bright and clear and safe and welcoming, with all my past mistakes oppressing it, and showing me distorted forms of fear? ⁴Yet in the present love is obvious, and its effects apparent. ⁵All the world shines in reflection of its holy light, and I perceive a world forgiven at last.
Father, let not Your holy world escape my sight today. ²Nor let my ears be deaf to all the hymns of gratitude the world is singing underneath the sounds of fear. ³There is a real world which the present holds safe from all past mistakes. ⁴And I would see only this world before my eyes today. (A Course in Miracles, W-293. See also ACIM Lesson 293 Insights.)
All our fears depend on memories of a past that does not exist in the present. The ego hangs on to these ‘memories’ of imagined events to build fearful stories about what might happen in the future. Meanwhile the ego is unaware of the peace and joy that is the reality of the present. The ego’s seeming existence depends on denying the present.
Today we turn our attention to the present moment. We still our mind and let our true Self show us the Love that unites us with our Father. We rest in His peace, knowing that we remain safe in His eternal Presence. The Light of Love brightens our world. We are grateful to remember that we Live in His Love.
