Commentary on ACIM Lesson 239

© 2010 Rev. David Seacord

The glory of my Father is my own.

There is a gift we have in our power to give to God. And it is the whole purpose of our existence. So, it is no small deal. But to give God this gift we must know who we are, for if we do not know this, the gift will not be real.

What is this gift? It is, very simply, to know ourselves as God's Love. This is all. But this is everything. God, while never reduced by anything that in NOT, IS INCREASED each time we remember who we are. We complete God, by becoming His Love within ourselves.

What does it take? Not much, from God's point of view. Only a 'little willingness' to open our hearts, our minds, our walls, our judgements, our control structures, our relationships, our prejudices, our plans, our imagined futures.... and just a little willingness to listen to the voice within us that teaches us how to become perfect love.

There is no limit to the happiness of anyone who will so listen.....

Namaste,

David

Lesson 239

The glory of my Father is my own.

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?

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.
