Today I learn the law of love; that what I give my brother is my gift to me.
This is Your law, my Father, not my own. ²I have not understood what giving means, and thought to save what I desired for myself alone. ³And as I looked upon the treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty place where nothing ever was or is or will be. ⁴Who can share a dream? ⁵And what can an illusion offer me? ⁶Yet he whom I forgive will give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. ⁷Let my forgiven brothers fill my store with Heaven’s treasures, which alone are real. ⁸Thus is the law of love fulfilled. ⁹And thus Your Son arises and returns to You.
How near we are to one another, as we go to God. ²How near is He to us. ³How close the ending of the dream of sin, and the redemption of the Son of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-344. See also ACIM Lesson 344 Insights.)
As long as we value keeping something for ourselves alone, we cannot know the Love of God that is our true Identity. The law of Love is that Love is shared equally with all. Love knows no limit.
When we forgive a brother for the image we have made of him, our mind is opened to receive the Love that unifies us with All That is. The Love we are naturally joins with the Love we recognize in our brother. We experience Love’s blessings in return.
