My thoughts* on ACIM Workbook Lesson 282, October 10, 2025. I Will Not Be Afraid of Love (*or GOD) Today

I will not be afraid of love today.

* I ‘kind of’ wish it said I will not be afraid of God today because that is what we are afraid of. That someone knows us and that He values us just as we are.

* In relationships of all kinds, this is what we run from. It takes great faith to believe in its reality and that it applies ot all of creation.

1. If I could realize but this today, salvation would be reached for all the world.

²This the decision not to be insane, and to accept myself as God Himself, my Father and my Source, created me.

³This the determination not to be asleep in dreams of death, while truth remains forever living in the joy of love.

* This is the state of mind that I have chosen.

⁴And this the choice to recognize the Self Whom God created as the Son He loves, and Who remains my one Identity.

* This identity unites me with all that is or ever will be. It says I have a home anywhere and everywhere because Heavenly Father cherishes His Son.

2. Father, Your Name is Love and so is mine.

* There it is FINALLY. I knew the Workbook said it. I am especially glad to see it after the thrashing I went through in reading the Book of Ether. Such incredible trauma we have brought on ourselves by belief in separation from Father and from the Love that we ARE.

²Such is the truth.

³And can the truth be changed by merely giving it another name?

⁴The name of fear is simply a mistake.

⁵Let me not be afraid of truth today.

* Amen.
