Remembering the Love God Gave Us

I love You, Father, and I love Your Son.

My gratitude permits my love to be accepted without fear. And thus am I restored to my reality at last. All that intruded on my holy sight forgiveness takes away. And I draw near the end of senseless journeys, mad careers and artificial values. I accept instead what God establishes as mine, sure that in that alone I will be saved; sure that I go through fear to meet my Love.

Father, I come to You today, because I would not follow any way but Yours. You are beside me. Certain is Your way. And I am grateful for Your holy gifts of certain sanctuary, and escape from everything that would obscure my love for God my Father and His holy Son. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.298. See also ACIM Lesson 298 Insights.)

The Course tells us “Love is the way I walk in gratitude” (Lesson 195) And “…Love cannot be far behind a grateful heart.” (M-23.4:6)

The ego is the manifestation of lack of gratitude for God’s gifts. What is not appreciated is rejected. Our engagement with the ego thought system brings with it ingratitude for God’s Creation, which is our true Self. Perception is selective, accepting only what is valued. The world of the ego does not value Love, so it is a loveless state of mind.

The Course is teaching us that all we truly want is to remember the Love God gave us in our Creation. Our belief in a loveless world has not changed the fact that we are the Love that we seem not to have. Perception of lovelessness brings fear with it. Though it is disguised in many forms, our underlying fear is of the Love of God.

Forgiveness clears away our mistaken beliefs, our artificial values that hide the Love we are from our awareness. Today we dedicate to frequently remind ourselves of God’s Love for us and express our gratitude for His eternal gift that remains the truth of What we are. What we value most is that we are safe in the Heart of God.
