The gift of Christ is all I seek today.

* Nah.

* I have Christ.

* I am a part of Christ.

* I seek the witness of God’s REALITY because it gives me mine and makes me a part of All That Is.

* What a brilliant plan of delay by the ego to give the Son of God himself to praise instead of Father.

* 2000 plus years we have lived by this. (Probably more like 200,000,000 years.)

* Isn’t it about time we woke up to the lie behind it that holds us to the belief in bondage by that part of Christ or makes us believe we can take from others without losing ourselves?

1. What but Christ’s vision would I use today, when it can offer me a day in which I see a world so like to Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me?

* The reason that we bought this for so long is because you cannot truly see the Son without seeing Father and INSIDE we do KNOW THIS. So subtle is the trickery of the ego that would call us “SINNERS” and INSIST that we are worthy of death when both SIN and DEATH are IMPOSSIBILITIES.

²Today I can forget the world I made.

* I CAN FORGET THAT I BELIEVED IT TO BE REAL. AND EVEN THAT I MAY NOT WANT TO FORGET WHILE THERE ARE THOSE WHO STILL BELIEVE IT TO BE REAL.

³Today I can go past all fear, and be restored to love and holiness and peace.

* This I can do INSIDE. On the surface or outside though I will face emotions and NEED HEALTHY BOUNDARIES. Because Jesus tells us that real harm can happen while any part of us still believes in separation. It is the kind of “real” that will simply need to be “undone” at the level or in the ‘space’ where it was thought to be real.

⁴Today I am redeemed, and born anew into a world of mercy and of care; of loving kindness and the peace of God.

* IN GOD’s Presence, not in His Son’s who still believes himself separate.

* I am learning how to “walk this walk of safety” as I find myself in the “Lion’s Den” where I know mayhem COULD occur if I allowed myself to believe it real. But where I will walk, knowing I am SAFE, until the work that I agreed to do here is done.

2. And so, our Father, we return to You, remembering we never went away; remembering Your holy gifts to us.

* Within our hearts and minds we return to God. Remembering our WHOLENESS as THEE SON of GOD the Original, Universal, Creator/God/Father.

²In gratitude and thankfulness we come, with empty hands and open hearts and minds, asking but what You give.

* And we know that this is ALL because that IS how Father gives and how we must give as well. This is NOT to be “regulated” or “counted” in form but in a sense of fullness to the moment the desires, hopes, ‘needs’ of those who remember Father.

³We cannot make an offering sufficient for Your Son.

⁴But in Your Love the gift of Christ is his.

* ALL THINGS ARE OF, IN, AND THROUGH GOD, OUR FATHER.

(ACIM, W-306.1:1–2:4)

Till next time, God bless, debi.
