Recognizing Calls for Love

³Love is one. ⁴It has no separate parts and no degrees; no kinds nor levels, no divergencies and no distinctions. ⁵It is like itself, unchanged throughout. ⁶It never alters with a person or a circumstance. ⁷It is the Heart of God, and also of His Son.

Love’s meaning is obscure to anyone who thinks that love can change. ²He does not see that changing love must be impossible. ³And thus he thinks that he can love at times, and hate at other times. ⁴He also thinks that love can be bestowed on one, and yet remain itself although it is withheld from others. ⁵To believe these things of love is not to understand it. ⁶If it could make such distinctions, it would have to judge between the righteous and the sinner, and perceive the Son of God in separate parts.

Love cannot judge. ²As it is one itself, it looks on all as one. ³Its meaning lies in oneness. ⁴And it must elude the mind that thinks of it as partial or in part. ⁵There is no love but God’s, and all of love is His. ⁶There is no other principle that rules where love is not. ⁷Love is a law without an opposite. ⁸Its wholeness is the power holding everything as one, the link between the Father and the Son which holds Them both forever as the same.

Call to your Father, certain that His Voice will answer. ²He Himself has promised this. ³And He Himself will place a spark of truth within your mind wherever you give up a false belief, a dark illusion of your own reality and what love means. ⁴He will shine through your idle thoughts today, and help you understand the truth of love. ⁵In loving gentleness He will abide with you, as you allow His Voice to teach love’s meaning to your clean and open mind. ⁶And He will bless the lesson with His Love. (A Course in Miracles, W-127.1:3–3:8;9. See also ACIM Lesson 127 Insights.)

The judgments and concerns we have about the world are idle thoughts because they have no effect on our Reality as only Love. The source of these idle thoughts is the wish for specialness — to be separate and different. God’s Voice calls to us from beyond the thought system of separation. It calls to us from the Heart of Love within us all. It brings the message that we are Love and nothing else in truth.

To hear this Voice, we need to quiet our mind and let peace step forth. In this peace, we receive the guidance we need to lead us past our misperceptions. It shows us the presence of Love that surrounds us and is in us.

As we learn to accept this Love, we bring Its Light to the world. With His vision we see the conflicts in the world as calls for Love. As Love’s messengers we bring tidings of peace and joy as we reunite in Love’s oneness with every brother.
