My thoughts* on Workbook Lesson 264, for September 20, 2024. I am surrounded by the Love of God. *I AM WORTHY OF IT.

I am surrounded by the Love of God.

* I am worthy of it.

1. Father, You stand before me and behind, beside me, in the place I see myself, and everywhere I go.

²You are in all the things I look upon, the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches for my own.

* Yes, and this is what seems to separate me from others because they think that they do not know themselves but I am happy and content inside because I know that someday they will.

³In You time disappears, and place becomes a meaningless belief.

* Time here represents the past or that which has flaw. Form of any sort loses its meaning even though you still know that you occasionally engage with the stories that others have told themselves and still believe are real.

⁴For what surrounds Your Son and keeps him safe is Love itself.

* Its Father. God. LOVE is His Essence and I do NOT have it, I AM it because I am His.

⁵There is no source but this, and nothing is that does not share its (*w) holiness; that stands beyond Your one creation, or without the Love which holds all things within itself.

* Note “within” here. We are within God and is not our true existence or engagement with others within ourselves as well? What if we chose to visualize a positive outcome for all that we interact with whether it manifests that way or not? I do not want to get too specific because I do not want to get locked in form but I am going to experiment with that. I do anyway because I have a complete sense of peace with the world, but I would like to envision a cooperative world who says, “Hey, we are actually one, and we can lift one another in so many ways. I am so glad that you are here!”

⁶Father, Your Son is like Yourself.

⁷We come to You in Your Own Name today, to be at peace within Your everlasting Love.

* I come to Father in Love as He Created me.

2. My brothers, join with me in this today.

²This is salvation’s prayer.

³Must we not join in what will save the world, along with us?

(ACIM, W-264.1:1–2:3)

Till next time, God bless, debi.
