Recognizing Our Identity Is Love

I feel the Love of God within me now.

²The Love of God is what created me. ³The Love of God is everything I am. ⁴The Love of God proclaimed me as His Son. ⁵The Love of God within me sets me free.

⁶I am not a body. ⁷I am free.
⁸For I am still as God created me. (A Course in Miracles, W-.1. See also ACIM Lesson 209 Insights.)

While we identify with a body, we are suffering from an identity crisis. We believe we are something that could never exist in reality. We are identifying with nothing. So we put all our effort trying to find meaning for our existence where it cannot be found.

By affirming that we are not a body, we free our mind to recognize the reality that our true Identity is the Love of God. The Love we are naturally extends Itself, acknowledging Its unity with all of Reality. We joyfully accept that we remain Love as Love created us.

Accepting Our Identity as Love

⁴If you remain as God created you fear has no meaning, evil is not real, and misery and death do not exist.

Today’s idea is therefore all you need to let complete correction heal your mind, and give you perfect vision that will heal all the mistakes that any mind has made at any time or place. ²It is enough to heal the past and make the future free. ³It is enough to let the present be accepted as it is. ⁴It is enough to let time be the means for all the world to learn escape from time, and every change that time appears to bring in passing by.

²If you are as God created you, then there has been no separation of your mind from His, no split between your mind and other minds, and only unity within your own.

The healing power of today’s idea is limitless. ²It is the birthplace of all miracles, the great restorer of the truth to the awareness of the world. ³Practice today’s idea with gratitude. ⁴This is the truth that comes to set you free. ⁵This is the truth that God has promised you. ⁶This is the Word in which all sorrow ends. (A Course in Miracles, W-110.1:4–2:4;4:2–5:6. See also ACIM Lesson 110 Insights.)

All our problems come from misperceptions caused by using mistaken beliefs to interpret the present. These beliefs make false images that hide the reality of Love’s oneness in the present. We cannot recognize our reality as part of God’s Love when we interpret the present based on these false images.

As we remember that we remain one with our Father as He created us, His Son, our misinterpretations of the present are let go. We still our mind to let Love enlighten us. We relax into our Identity as Love’s peace and joy.

Remembering We Live in Love

My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.

This idea is, of course, the reason why you see only the past. ²No one really sees anything. ³He sees only his thoughts projected outward. ⁴The mind’s preoccupation with the past is the cause of the misconception about time from which your seeing suffers. ⁵Your [ego] mind cannot grasp the present, which is the only time there is. ⁶It therefore cannot understand time, and cannot, in fact, understand anything.

The one wholly true thought one can hold about the past is that it is not here. ²To think about it at all is therefore to think about illusions. ³Very few have realized what is actually entailed in picturing the past or in anticipating the future. ⁴The mind is actually blank when it does this, because it is not really thinking about anything.

…train your mind to recognize when it is not really thinking at all. ²While thoughtless ideas preoccupy your mind, the truth is blocked. ³Recognizing that your mind has been merely blank, rather than believing that it is filled with real ideas, is the first step to opening the way to vision. (A Course in Miracles, W-8.1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 8 Insights.)

By definition, the past and the future are not here now. If only the present is real, thoughts about the past cannot be real. They are thoughts about nothing. But these thoughts cast a veil over the present, making it impossible to experience the peace and joy that is our eternal reality.

We ask the Holy Spirit to help us remember we live in Love’s Presence and forgive our misperceptions. We want to remember that we are at Home in the Love of our Father. This is our practice today.

Experiencing Love’s Blessings

I offer only miracles today, for I would have them be returned to me.

Father, a miracle reflects Your gifts to me, Your Son. ²And every one I give returns to me, reminding me the law of love is universal. ³Even here, it takes a form which can be recognized and seen to work. ⁴The miracles I give are given back in just the form I need to help me with the problems I perceive. ⁵Father, in Heaven it is different, for there, there are no needs. ⁶But here on earth, the miracle is closer to Your gifts than any other gift that I can give. ⁷Then let me give this gift alone today, which, born of true forgiveness, lights the way that I must travel to remember You.

Peace to all seeking hearts today. ²The light has come to offer miracles to bless the tired world. ³It will find rest today, for we will offer what we have received. (A Course in Miracles, W-345. See also ACIM Lesson 345 Insights.)

True perception is seen through forgiving eyes, which accepts the law of Love. Miracles see past conflicting differences to the Love that unites us. As we let God’s Love guide our thoughts and actions, we offer miracles to the world.

Today we choose to offer miracles by letting Love show us the truth of our unity with all, and we will experience Love’s blessings in return.

Love’s Light Is Here Now

Dwell not upon the past today. ²Keep a completely open mind, washed of all past ideas and clean of every concept you have made. ³You have forgiven the world today. ⁴You can look upon it now as if you never saw it before. ⁵You do not know yet what it looks like. ⁶You merely wait to have it shown to you. ⁷While you wait, repeat several times, slowly and in complete patience:

⁸The light has come. ⁹I have forgiven the world.

Realize that your forgiveness entitles you to vision. ²Understand that the Holy Spirit never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving. ³Believe He will not fail you now. ⁴You have forgiven the world. ⁵He will be with you as you watch and wait. ⁶He will show you what true vision sees. ⁷It is His Will, and you have joined with Him. ⁸Wait patiently for Him. ⁹He will be there. ¹⁰The light has come. ¹¹You have forgiven the world

We dedicate this day to the serenity in which God would have you be. ²Keep it in your awareness of yourself and see it everywhere today, as we celebrate the beginning of your vision and the sight of the real world, which has come to replace the unforgiven world you thought was real. (A Course in Miracles, W-75.6–7;11. See also ACIM Lesson 75 Insights.)

In order to experience specialness, we have imagined a world of conflicting differences. We have convinced ourselves that this made-up world is real. It seems that a life of fear and guilt is normal.

Today we are asked to forgive this imagined world. It is possible to let go of this fantasy and welcome the Light of Love. This Light is always present, ready to be recognized as the real world that is our native Home. It is a place of peace which can be reached by quieting our mind and welcoming the help of the Holy Spirit. He will help us recognize our fantasies are meaningless. They have had no effect on our reality. The Light is here now.

The Promise of Our Father’s Love

I have no cause for anger or for fear, for You surround me. And in every need that I perceive, Your grace suffices me.

Father, let me remember You are here, and I am not alone. ²Surrounding me is everlasting Love. ³I have no cause for anything except the perfect peace and joy I share with You. ⁴What need have I for anger or for fear? ⁵Surrounding me is perfect safety. ⁶Can I be afraid, when Your eternal promise goes with me? ⁷Surrounding me is perfect sinlessness. ⁸What can I fear, when You created me in holiness as perfect as Your Own?

God’s grace suffices us in everything that He would have us do. ²And only that we choose to be our will as well as His. (A Course in Miracles, W-348. See also ACIM Lesson 348 Insights.)

God sees us all as His One Son, without exception. His Love encompasses us, leaving no one outside His Love. We remain safe within Love’s sure protection. Love does not condemn; It only unifies us with our Father. He shares His peace and joy with us.

Today we hold this promise in our hearts, grateful that our Father provides all that we need in truth.

Accepting Our Naturally Loving Self

God, being Love, is also happiness.

²Let me remember love is happiness, and nothing else brings joy. ³And so I choose to entertain no substitutes for love.

I seek but what belongs to me in truth.

²Love is my heritage, and with it joy. ³These are the gifts my Father gave to me. ⁴I would accept all that is mine in truth. (A Course in Miracles, W-117.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 117 Insights.)

In the dream of separation, we search for the loving Self which is denied by the wish for specialness. When we open to our true Self, we are happy. Any upset, any lack of peace, is a signal that we are not choosing to be our Self. We are choosing a substitute for the Love we are. Our natural state is joy.

Today we affirm that we are willing to accept our natural state. We are willing to be our loving Self.
