Lesson 173:

God is but love, and therefore so am I…

Ahh… The still peace of ‘I am’… So simple… So sure…

It is only from the acceptance of this one idea that we experience truth; God, our Self. It is here also, that we come to understand, experience, and begin to fulfill our purpose here. We are the love we are here to share; to bring forgiveness and the happy tidings of awakening unto love, to every seeming split to the one mind of the Sonship; the mind we share with God.

If God is Love, there is nothing else we could be. The ridiculous search for love is over, for through the universal experience of love’s awakening upon our mind which we share today, we recognize our Self.

We are the love we have been searching for.

And in this world of mind, expression of that pure love, such that it heals this tired idea of a world, finds its way through our whole surrender to the Holy Spirit part of mind, the Jesus part of mind. When we look at how we came this far, we but see only the footprints of love, ours have been erased by forgiveness, moving us along the inevitable way. Today, we make a deliberate decision to return the faith that Jesus/Holy Spirit has shown in us, which has brought us this far. A distance we know that the man-mind could not have made alone. For as we sink back into the experience of certainty which our guide statement directs (God is but love, and therefore so am I), we feel our other-worldliness and find our being rests in love, with no form at all. Bringing this experience forward, form-ulating a world we apply the most natural of procedures.... and let the One Who Knows, take the lead.

I will step back and let Him lead the way…

I find it incredible, when I am resting, as now, in the total oneness of God-Love, that I could ever lose faith; be petty, value the insignificant, irritate or not recognize my brother as the love that I, too, am…

Yet, it seems a part of mind remains, dreaming itself up as a body, sucking air on planet earth; suiting-up and showing-up for forgiveness’s ministry, and accepting fully the Atonement; one miracle at a time…

So at those times of personhood-posing-as-reality in mind, distinguished by feeling a lack of peace; we reach for the ready restorative and ask: Who walks with me? And we ask as a continual prayer, until we hear the joyous answer resounding within and about, which restores us to now:

I walk with God in perfect holiness…

God is but love, and therefore so am I…
