Lesson 264 –
I am surrounded by the Love of God.
We are surrounded by the love of God, the One, Source, Oneness. This is a fact. A given, A reality. Yet, many of us don’t feel this comfort. We’ve been told this is so, but still we don’t feel it in our earthly life. How do we access this feeling, this comfort? What do we need to do? The Course tells us we need do nothing. What? If this is so, why don’t we feel it? Perhaps we are doing too much. Perhaps we are trying too hard. Perhaps it is right in front of us but we don’t see it! This comfort and assurance is absolutely real and available to our awareness if we are willing to see and accept it. This lesson offers us the following prayer to help us open ourselves to this love.
Creator, You stand before me and behind, beside me, in the place I see myself, and everywhere I go. You are in all the things I look upon, the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches for my own. In You time disappears, and place becomes a meaningless belief. For what surrounds Your One Child and keeps them safe is Love itself. There is no Source but this, and nothing is that does not share Its Holiness; that stands beyond Your one creation, or without the Love which holds all things within itself. Creator, Your One Child is like Yourself. We come to You in Your Own Name today, to be at peace within Your everlasting Love. W-pII.264.1:1-7
Are we willing to ask? Are we willing to let go of our fear? Our true state of being is all this prayer offers. Our willingness to ask helps us look beyond the appearance of the world we think we see around us to what is real, permanent, and eternal. We are created an extension of our Creator and so we are so like our Creator we are a continuation of our Creator. There is no division. We simply made a mistake in our perception of ourselves and believed there was a separation where none existed. Nothing real is lost. We all are simply love and nothing else. There exists only love in reality. Therefore, we are always and inevitably surrounded by love whether we are aware of it or not.
What do we really desire? What have we really been seeking all our lives? Stepping into this comfort of love all around us is simply opening our mind to the awareness of what is and always has been within us. As we use this prayer to open our awareness to the truth that is within us, we will sense the peace that passes all worldly understanding. Peace, love, and joy will rise within us comforting us and dispelling all fear. We will realize we are complete, whole, and unlimited. We will find the light of holiness shining brightly from the core of our being, one with the core of all being. This is our salvation, saving us from a mistaken world of separation and illusion. This is where we step into the awareness of our Oneness with all that is real and true.
My friends, join with me in this today. This is salvation’s prayer. Must we not join in what will save the world, along with us? W-pII.264.2:1-3
The time is now! What are we waiting for?
