⁶Love is not little and love dwells in you, for you are host to Him. ⁷Before the greatness that lives in you, your poor appreciation of yourself and all the little offerings you give slip into nothingness.
Holy child of God, when will you learn that only holiness can content you and give you peace? ²Remember that you learn not for yourself alone, no more than I did. ³It is because I learned for you that you can learn of me. ⁴I would but teach you what is yours, so that together we can replace the shabby littleness that binds the host of God to guilt and weakness with the glad awareness of the glory that is in him. ⁵My birth in you is your awakening to grandeur. ⁶Welcome me not into a manger, but into the altar to holiness, where holiness abides in perfect peace. ⁷My Kingdom is not of this world because it is in you. ⁸And you are of your Father. ⁹Let us join in honoring you, who must remain forever beyond littleness.
Call forth in everyone only the remembrance of God, and of the Heaven that is in him. ²For where you would have your brother be, there will you think you are. ³Hear not his appeal to hell and littleness, but only his call for Heaven and greatness. (A Course in Miracles, T-15.III.8:6–9:9;12:1-3. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
Our oneness in the Love of God is our holiness. Forgiveness lets us see the holiness in our brothers and ourselves. Our judgments blind us to the truth in everyone, including ourselves. To find our true and lasting happiness, we need to dismiss the ego as our judge. By dismissing it we make way for the Holy Spirit to judge all things on our behalf.
The Holy Spirit knows the truth about us, God’s Son. So His judgments are very simple. He dismisses the unreal and affirms the reality of Love’s oneness. The Holy Spirit knows we are worthy of all of God’s Love without limit. Today we choose to accept His judgments, remembering that His verdict is always of our innocence and worthiness of His unlimited Love.
