How often do I meet the day with a quiet list of corrections? This should be different. That person should understand. I should be further along.

Today’s lesson invites me to loosen my grip and become willing to see with love.

I notice how quickly my expectations become judgments—about a situation, another person, or myself. Before I have truly listened, I have already decided what needs to change. What might I discover if I paused long enough to leave room for grace?

Acceptance leaves room for care, boundaries, and whatever action love may ask of me. As I release the demand that everything conform to my plans, I can listen more closely and respond with greater tenderness.

The prayer beneath this song is simple: “Let me see with You. Let me rest my heart.” Beneath my judgments and the stories I place upon others, the Course invites me to recognize the love in which we were created—a love our changing circumstances cannot undo.

Today, I can bring my questions without needing to settle them all. I can pause, soften, and allow myself to be held.

In love was I created. In love I will remain.
