The Practice That Awakens Us to Love

I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt.

Loss is not loss when properly perceived. ²Pain is impossible. ³There is no grief with any cause at all. ⁴And suffering of any kind is nothing but a dream. ⁵This is the truth, at first to be but said and then repeated many times; and next to be accepted as but partly true, with many reservations. ⁶Then to be considered seriously more and more, and finally accepted as the truth. ⁷I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt. ⁸And I would go beyond these words today, and past all reservations, and arrive at full acceptance of the truth in them.

Father, what You have given cannot hurt, so grief and pain must be impossible. ²Let me not fail to trust in You today, accepting but the joyous as Your gifts; accepting but the joyous as the truth. (A Course in Miracles, W-284. See also ACIM Lesson 284 Insights.)

God’s Will for us is the perfect peace and indescribable joy that come with the eternal gift of His limitless Love. If we experience anything but His Love, it is because we have chosen to believe that we have separated from our Creator. This can only seem to be true in dreams.

We have the means to let go of our mistaken beliefs and accept God’s gift. It seems to take time to achieve this change of mind only because we thoroughly convinced ourselves that we are an identity separate from God. We take the first step by affirming that we are worthy of God’s Love. With practice, the truth of our Self as God’s Son begins to be more fully accepted. As we persist with this practice we will awaken to the fact that we remain at Home in the Heaven of God’s Love.
