The Glory Of My Father Is My Own

Today’s lesson is a gem. The offering that is made to you, to recognize the Glory of God in yourself, is something that is truly a miracle. What is there in the world that reminds you of your Self? Until A Course In Miracles came to you, all you could see was a reflection of an illusion of what you are. And now you are offered a glimpse of truth, and you are shown that what you were looking for is already in you.
Let not the truth about ourselves today be hidden by a false humility. Let us instead be thankful for the gifts our Father gave us. Can we see in those with whom He shares His glory any trace of sin and guilt? And can it be that we are not among them, when He loves His Son forever and with perfect constancy, knowing he is as He created him?
What you choose to see is up to you. Perception is an amazing device, when used for Truth. You can look around you and see corruption, or you can ask to see things differently. There is another way of looking at the world. There is another way of looking at your neighbor. There is another way to experience yourself. Your Self. Once you are in this new experience, you will never want anything else. Because it is completely valuable to you. You know who you are. Your certainty is of God. And in that experience, when someone comes to you to invite you back into the illusion, you will respond, “No, thank you very much.”
The experience of Who you are is an awareness. A knowing that is synonymous to the Peace of God. It is a sigh of relief. A feeling of Home. It is all you have been looking for. And today, now, it is offered you.
We thank You, Father, for the light that shines forever in us. And we honor it, because You share it with us. We are one, united in this light and one with You, at peace with all creation and ourselves.
