The gift of Christ is all I seek today.
What but Christ’s vision would I use today, when it can offer me a day in which I see a world so like to Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me? ²Today I can forget the world I made. ³Today I can go past all fear, and be restored to love and holiness and peace. ⁴Today I am redeemed, and born anew into a world of mercy and of care; of loving kindness and the peace of God.
And so, our Father, we return to You, remembering we never went away; remembering Your holy gifts to us. ²In gratitude and thankfulness we come, with empty hands and open hearts and minds, asking but what You give. ³We cannot make an offering sufficient for Your Son. ⁴But in Your Love the gift of Christ is his. (A Course in Miracles, W-306. See also ACIM Lesson 306 Insights.)
Our true Home is a place of care, loving kindness and peace. Yet we do not experience this Home in this world. This is because, when we identify with the ego, we choose to accept its barriers to Love. We accept conflict as part of “life”. This need not be.
The forgiving eyes of Christ show us vision that reveals the truth of our Home in God’s Love. The passage out of the dream of conflict is through the door of forgiveness. We open this door by being willing to reconsider our judgments. As we are willing to accept the Holy Spirit’s help to reinterpret our perceptions, we open our mind to the Light of Love, which dispels the ego’s images of isolation and differences.
Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s help to let go of our mistaken beliefs and remember our Home in the Heart of God’s Love.
