God is my Father, and His Son loves Him.
Father, I must return Your Love for me, for giving and receiving are the same, and You have given all Your Love to me. ²I must return [Your Love], for I want it mine in full awareness, blazing in my mind and keeping it within [Love’s] kindly light, inviolate, beloved, with fear behind and only peace ahead. ³How still the way Your loving Son is led along to You!
Brother, we find that stillness now. ²The way is open. ³Now we follow it in peace together. ⁴You have reached your hand to me, and I will never leave you. ⁵We are one, and it is but this oneness that we seek, as we accomplish these few final steps which end a journey that was not begun. (A Course in Miracles, W-225. See also ACIM Lesson 225 Insights.)
When we identify with the ego, we deny God’s gift of all of His Love. The ego is afraid of Love, because when its oneness is accept, the ego would cease to seem to exist. This is where the idea that we should fear God comes from.
Today we are reminded that to receive our Father’s Love we must give Him Love, because giving and receiving are the same. Giving Love acknowledges that we have Love; we engage with the eternal flow of Love giving to Itself. In this flow we feel Love’s joy and peace.
The Holy Spirit is always with us, ready to lead us on a journey back to Love’s oneness, which we only dreamed we lost. Today we happily follow His lead as we take His Hand with confidence that He will always be with us, leading us to peace in God’s Love.
