May 6, 2014 - Living Love

ACIM Workbook Lesson #126
"All that I give is given to myself."

Walking home from work today, I passed a man who responded to my greeting by saying he was "hanging in there, but he didn't know why." He looked forlorn and dejected. This is, of course, a judgment on my part. In examining what I'd like to give today, I see that the only true thing which can be given is Love. When we give and live Love, there is nothing else to think about. Before I give anything today, I will ask myself, Is this what I want to receive? If it's not, then I'd best not give it. But my realization that God is Love, that Love is all there is, allows me to slip into that sweet space of living from Truth. Truth is following the dictates of divine Mind, living from Spirit, expressing the Love which is our essence. I will send this message to others without questioning their motives. Keeping my motives pure is my business. Speculating on that of others' -- NOT my business!

Mary Baker Eddy quote:

“We cannot fathom the nature and quality of God's creation by diving into the shallows of mortal belief. We must reverse our feeble flutterings--our efforts to find life and truth in matter--and rise above the testimony of the material senses, above the mortal to the immortal idea of God. These clearer, higher views inspire the God-like man to reach the absolute centre and circumference of his being.” Science & Health Page 262:9-16
