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 [illusion] 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.)
The key to finding the happiness and peace God wills for us is to lay down our mistaken wish to have an identity we can call our own. Our true Identity is shared with our Father. We remain united with God, no matter what dreams we may have.
Today we free ourselves from the dream of conflict and loss, fear and guilt. As we accept the Holy Spirit’s help to see with Christ’s vision, we overlook the world of form and accept the Love of God as our Identity. With this acceptance, fear and guilt disappear and we remember the joy and peace of our true Identity as God’s Son.
