Seeing Love’s Reflection in Our World

I will be still an instant and go home.

This world you seem to live in is not home to you. ²And somewhere in your mind you know that this is true.

We speak today for everyone who walks this world, for he is not at home. ²He goes uncertainly about in endless search, seeking in darkness what he cannot find; not recognizing what it is he seeks. ³A thousand homes he makes, yet none contents his restless mind. ⁴He does not understand he builds in vain. ⁵The home he seeks can not be made by him. ⁶There is no substitute for Heaven. ⁷All he ever made was hell.

…there is a Child in you Who seeks His Father’s house, and knows that He is alien here. ⁴This childhood is eternal, with an innocence that will endure forever. ⁵Where this Child shall go is holy ground. ⁶It is His Holiness that lights up Heaven, and that brings to earth the pure reflection of the light above, wherein are earth and Heaven joined as one.

It is this Child in you your Father knows as His Own Son. (A Course in Miracles, W-182.1:1-2;3;4:3–5:1. See also ACIM Lesson 182 Insights.)

The world we see represents our wish for specialness. It seems to give us what our Father cannot give because He can only give all of His Himself equally to all. There are no differences in the universe of His Love.

This universe of Love is our true Home. We were created as an extension of Love without limit. Our true function is to participate in this eternal giving and receiving of God’s Love. As we forgive the wish for specialness, we open our hearts to let Love be reflected in the world we see. We see the Love that is our brother, reflecting back to us the vision of the Love we are. We walk together in peace and gratitude.
