Commentary on ACIM Lesson 225

©2010 Rev. David Seacord

God is my Father, and His Son loves Him.

I will never leave you.... these words from today's lesson leapt up to me when read. It is the kind of response that let's me know I am secure, and that I can relax in the safety of God's protection.

The reason for the response in me is that I know I know.... i.e., I totally know the truth of God's presence.... yet because I forget this like a baby distracted by a clever magician..... well, it is wonderful to be reminded again. Then I can say to myself "YES! SEE! I KNEW I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING I HAD FORGOTTEN! AND NOW, I HAVE IT! EUREKA! GOD WILL NEVER LEAVE ME.... NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, EVER!!!!!!

Well, you see, it is the EMOTION that does the reprogramming! You see that, right!? We can't expect to do this Course flatlined (only celebrially) and have our life transformed.... No, what is necessary is ENTHUSIAM for the journey! In Theos---- in God--- like that...... OK, OK.

Listen, the Sufis says, use what you can, don't worry about the rest.... put it on a shelf for the time it is needed, but NOW, use what you can embrace with enthusiasm !

My enthusiasm is for community of like mind.... aka.... communion. It doesn't have to be limited by time or space.... the bond that connects us in this circle is held by the hands of Spirit... and as the lesson says, we have put our hands in HIs, and now, the way is open. Bless you as you bless others.

Namaste,

David

Lesson 225

God is my Father, and His Son loves Him.

Father, I must return Your Love for me, for giving and receiving are the same, and You have given all Your Love to me. I must return it, for I want it mine in full awareness, blazing in my mind and keeping it within its kindly light, inviolate, beloved, with fear behind and only peace ahead. How still the way Your loving Son is led along to You!

Brother, we find that stillness now. The way is open. Now we follow it in peace together. You have reached your hand to me, and I will never leave you. We are one, and it is but this oneness that we seek, as we accomplish these few final steps which end a journey that was not begun.
