Resting in the Love of God

Take pity on yourself, so long enslaved. ²Rejoice whom God hath joined have come together and need no longer look on sin apart. ³No two can look on sin together, for they could never see it in the same place and time. ⁴Sin is a strictly individual perception, seen in the other yet believed by each to be within himself. ⁵And each one seems to make a different error, and one the other cannot understand.

Who has need for sin? ²Only the lonely and alone, who see their brothers different from themselves. ³It is this difference, seen but not real, that makes the need for sin, not real but seen, seem justified. ⁴And all this would be real if sin were so. ⁵For an unholy relationship is based on differences, where each one thinks the other has what he has not.

A holy relationship starts from a different premise. ²Each one has looked within and seen no lack. ³Accepting his completion, he would extend it by joining with another, whole as himself. ⁴He sees no difference between these selves, for differences are only of the body.

Think what a holy relationship can teach! ²Here is belief in differences undone. ³Here is the faith in differences shifted to sameness. ⁴And here is sight of differences transformed to vision. …⁶It must extend, as you extended when you and he joined. ⁷It must reach out beyond itself, as you reached out beyond the body, to let you and your brother be joined. ⁸And now the sameness that you saw extends and finally removes all sense of differences, so that the sameness that lies beneath them all becomes apparent. (A Course in Miracles, T-22.in.1:1-5;2:1-5;3:1-4;4:1-4,6-8. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The key to finding peace of mind is accepting the Love that unites us with everyone and every thing. In this unity there are no differences, no forms, no loss, no conquests, no defeats. Love is universally the same throughout. It is complete and whole, with nothing to gain nor lose. It is the Heaven that is our Home.

Today we choose to accept the Holy Spirit’s help to look past our judgments to see the Love that joins us with every brother. With His help we will dismiss appearances of differences and rest in the Love of God together.
