The Law of Love

TODAY'S LESSON: Today I let Christ's vision look upon all things for me and judge them not, but give each one a miracle of love instead.

If I could wave a magic wand that affected everyone who knows me or interacts with me in any way, what would I like that to do? I would want everyone to refrain from judging me in any way, and to always look upon me with love. Isn't that what you would want?—for them to view you with eyes of compassion, understanding, mercy, and tolerance? To have everyone look past your mistakes to your heart?

The Course is telling us that we have such a magic wand. The wand we can wave to manifest such a wave of love and compassion is this: Give to others what you want them to give to you. Yes! It's the Golden Rule. What you give is what you receive. You are giving to yourself. "I...give to them the freedom that I seek." I "give what I would find and make my own."

How do I want other people to treat me? How can I make that happen? By treating them the way I want to be treated by them. It's as simple and as profound as that. This is the Law of Love.
