The Joy of Sharing Love’s Blessings

Illusion recognized must disappear.

The lilies [holiness] that your brother offers you are laid upon your altar, with the ones you offer him beside them. ²Who could fear to look upon such lovely holiness? ³The great illusion of the fear of God diminishes to nothingness before the purity that you will look on here. ⁴Be not afraid to look. ⁵The blessedness you will behold will take away all thought of form, and leave instead the perfect gift forever there, forever to increase, forever yours, forever given away.

Now are we one in thought, for fear has gone. ²And here, before the altar to one God, one Father, one Creator and one Thought, we stand together as one Son of God. ³Not separate from Him Who is our Source; not distant from one brother who is part of our one Self Whose innocence has joined us all as one, we stand in blessedness, and give as we receive. ⁴The Name of God is on our lips. ⁵And as we look within, we see the purity of Heaven shine in our reflection of our Father’s Love.

Now are we blessed, and now we bless the world. ²What we have looked upon we would extend, for we would see it [Love] everywhere. (A Course in Miracles, W-187.7:1;9:1–11:2. See also ACIM Lesson 187 Insights.)

The holiness of our true Identity is inconceivable in the dream of separation. The wish for specialness has blinded us to the Reality of Love’s oneness. But there is a way to restore our mind to full awareness of our shared Identity as God one Son.

God’s Voice is ever-present in our mind. His purpose is to help us recognize illusions for what they are — representations of mistaken beliefs that have no effect whatsoever on our true Self. Illusions recognized are freely dismissed. With His help, we recognize the holiness of our brother with whom we are joined as God’s Son. We experience Love’s blessing and joyously share it with the world.
