A day devoted now to gratitude will add the benefit of some insight into the real extent of all the gains which you have made; the gifts you have received. ²Be glad today, in loving thankfulness, your Father has not left you to yourself, nor let you wander in the dark alone. ³Be grateful He has saved you from the self you thought you made to take the place of Him and His creation. ⁴Give Him thanks today.
Give thanks that He has not abandoned you, and that His Love forever will remain shining on you, forever without change. ²Give thanks as well that you are changeless, for the Son He loves is changeless as Himself. ³Be grateful you are saved. ⁴Be glad you have a function in salvation to fulfill.
³Today we smile on everyone we see, and walk with lightened footsteps as we go to do what is appointed us to do.
Receive His thanks, and you will understand how lovingly He holds you in His Mind, how deep and limitless His care for you, how perfect is His gratitude to you. ²Remember hourly to think of Him, and give Him thanks for everything He gave His Son, that he might rise above the world, remembering his Father and his Self. (A Course in Miracles, W-123.2:1–3:4;8:1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 123 Insights.)
Think of the most loving being you can imagine fully embracing you; how safe and nurtured you feel. This brings but a faint inkling of the Love our Father holds for us, His Son. His Love shines so brightly on us that nothing is seen that could disturb our peace.
We give thanks for our Father’s Love today. We are grateful for His sure protection which guarantees that we are changeless, forever one with Himself. From this state of peacefulness, we look upon the world with Loving eyes. Today we go through our appointed doing uplifted by the Love that supports us without limit.
