We Are Eternally Safe in God’s Love

In quiet I receive God’s Word today.

Let this day be a day of stillness and of quiet listening. ²Your Father wills you hear His Word today. ³He calls to you from deep within your mind where He abides. ⁴Hear Him today. ⁵No peace is possible until His Word is heard around the world; until your mind, in quiet listening, accepts the message that the world must hear to usher in the quiet time of peace.

This world will change through you. ²No other means can save it, for God’s plan is simply this: The Son of God is free to save himself, given the Word of God to be his Guide, forever in his mind and at his side to lead him surely to his Father’s house by his own will, forever free as God’s. ³He is not led by force, but only love. ⁴He is not judged, but only sanctified.

In stillness we will hear God’s Voice today without intrusion of our petty thoughts, without our personal desires, and without all judgment of His holy Word. ²We will not judge ourselves today, for what we are can not be judged. …⁵Today we will not listen to the world, but wait in silence for the Word of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-125.1:1–3:2,5. See also ACIM Lesson 125 Insights.)

The world we think we know is a defense against God’s Love. Our minds are cluttered with bits and pieces of information from the ego that are used to explain the meaning of forms that seem to separate everything. But Love, the only Reality, has no form. Attempts to understand and label forms are meaningless.

God’s Word is that our true Self is all that He is: Love and nothing else. Today we practice pausing to step back from our judgments of the world to hear His Voice, the Holy Spirit. He will help us recognize the quiet Love that surrounds us in perfect peace. His Voice will assure us that we are eternally safe in His Love.

Accepting Freedom from Suffering

I can be free of suffering today.

Father, I thank You for today, and for the freedom I am certain it will bring. ²This day is holy, for today Your Son will be redeemed. ³His suffering is done. ⁴For he will hear Your Voice directing him to find Christ’s vision through forgiveness, and be free forever from all suffering. ⁵Thanks for today, my Father. ⁶I was born into this world but to achieve this day, and what it holds in joy and freedom for Your holy Son and for the world he made, which is released along with him today.

Be glad today! ²Be glad! ³There is no room for anything but joy and thanks today. ⁴Our Father has redeemed His Son this day. ⁵Not one of us but will be saved today. ⁶Not one who will remain in fear, and none the Father will not gather to Himself, awake in Heaven in the Heart of Love. (A Course in Miracles, W-340. See also ACIM Lesson 340 Insights.)

All our suffering comes from unforgiveness. But when we truly forgive, Christ’s vision shows us a forgiven world in which God’s Love is accepted. With His Love comes His peace and joy. His Voice directs us to look past the false images of differences that cause fear and guilt.

Today we are grateful for our Father’s Voice and let It guide us past suffering to our Home in the Heart of His Love.

Accepting the Miracle of True Perception

A miracle is a correction. ²It does not create, nor really change at all. ³It merely looks on devastation, and reminds the mind that what it sees is false. ⁴It undoes error, but does not attempt to go beyond perception, nor exceed the function of forgiveness. ⁵Thus it stays within time’s limits. ⁶Yet it paves the way for the return of timelessness and love’s awakening, for fear must slip away under the gentle remedy it brings.

³A miracle inverts perception which was upside down before, and thus it ends the strange distortions that were manifest. ⁴Now is perception open to the truth. ⁵Now is forgiveness seen as justified.

Forgiveness is the home of miracles. ²The eyes of Christ deliver them to all they look upon in mercy and in love. ³Perception stands corrected in His sight, and what was meant to curse has come to bless. ⁴Each lily of forgiveness offers all the world the silent miracle of love. ⁵And each is laid before the Word of God, upon the universal altar to Creator and creation in the light of perfect purity and endless joy. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.13.1;2:3–3:5)

This world of separate bodies we see is not real. As long as we identify with the body, this fact is hard to believe. The world around us seems to affect everything in our life — our health, our happiness, and our safety. All this comes from the wish to experience specialness.

A miracle occurs when we look past the appearance of differences, which divide, to the underlying Love of God that unites us with Reality. To let this change of perception occur, we need to accept the help of the Holy Spirit to forgive our misperceptions. We need to resign as judge and let Him judge all things on our behalf. As we accept the Holy Spirit’s judgment, we will see the world with forgiving eyes and experience the miracle of true perception.

Letting Our Light Shine in the World

You cannot forget the Father because I am with you, and I cannot forget Him. ²To forget me is to forget yourself and Him Who created you. ³Our brothers are forgetful. ⁴That is why they need your remembrance of me and of Him Who created me. ⁵Through this remembrance, you can change their minds about themselves, as I can change yours. ⁶Your mind is so powerful a light that you can look into theirs and enlighten them, as I can enlighten yours. …I do want to share my mind with you because we are of one Mind, and that Mind is ours. ¹⁰See only this Mind everywhere, because only this is everywhere and in everything. ¹¹It is everything because it encompasses all things within itself. ¹²Blessed are you who perceive only this, because you perceive only what is true.

Come therefore unto me, and learn of the truth in you. ²The mind we share is shared by all our brothers, and as we see them truly they will be healed. ³Let your mind shine with mine upon their minds, and by our gratitude to them make them aware of the light in them. ⁴This light will shine back upon you and on the whole Sonship, because this is your proper gift to God. ⁵He will accept it and give it to the Sonship, because it is acceptable to Him and therefore to His Sons. ⁶This is true communion with the Holy Spirit, Who sees the altar of God in everyone, and by bringing it to your appreciation, He calls upon you to love God and His creation. ⁷You can appreciate the Sonship only as one. ⁸This is part of the law of creation, and therefore governs all thought. (A Course in Miracles, T-7.V.10:1-6,9–11:8. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

There is a Light in all our minds that shines on the world. It is the Light of God’s Love. God created all His Sons as one in this Light. This Light is our natural Home.

Our wish for specialness has covered this Light with a veil of forgetfulness. We dream we are in a darkened world of differences and conflict. But we have help in our mind to remember that we remain unified with the Mind of Love that created us one with Itself.

Today we practice pausing in the midst of uncertainty to welcome Christ’s vision. With this vision we will bring Light to all minds and remember our unity as the Light of the world.

Remembering We Are Love and Nothing Else

…it is but your thoughts that bring you fear, and your deliverance depends on you.”

³For once you understand it is impossible that you be hurt except by your own thoughts, the fear of God must disappear. ⁴You cannot then believe that fear is caused without.

²When you realize, once and for all, that it is you you fear, the mind perceives itself as split. ³And this had been concealed while you believed attack could be directed outward, and returned from outside to within.

²Yet in this instant is the time as well in which salvation comes. ³For fear of God has disappeared. ⁴And you can call on Him to save you from illusions by His Love, calling Him Father and yourself His Son. ⁵Pray that the instant may be soon,—today. ⁶Step back from fear, and make advance to love.

²When the fear of God is gone, there are no obstacles that still remain between you and the holy peace of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-196.7:3;8:3-4;10:2-3;11:2-6;12:2. See also ACIM Lesson 196 Insights.)

While we believe the body is our identity, we condemn ourselves to death. Bodies are illusions made by the wish for specialness, the wish to be separate and unique. Death, were it real, would be the ultimate condemnation to oblivion.

But God’s Love is eternal and cannot die. As Love’s extension, our Identity as Love cannot die. Love keeps us safe within Its changelessness. Nothing exists outside our true Identity as Love. which could bring us harm.

Today we ask the Holy Spirit to help us release our mistaken thoughts of being separate and special. We want to remember that we are Love and nothing else.

Remembering That Only Love’s Oneness Is Real

The problem of separation, which is really the only problem, has already been solved. ⁵Yet the solution is not recognized because the problem is not recognized.

Everyone in this world seems to have his own special problems. ²Yet they are all the same, and must be recognized as one if the one solution that solves them all is to be accepted.

The temptation to regard problems as many is the temptation to keep the problem of separation unsolved. ²The world seems to present you with a vast number of problems, each requiring a different answer.

All this complexity is but a desperate attempt not to recognize the problem, and therefore not to let it be resolved. ²If you could recognize that your only problem is separation, no matter what form it takes, you could accept the answer because you would see its relevance. ³Perceiving the underlying constancy in all the problems that seem to confront you, you would understand that you have the means to solve them all. ⁴And you would use the means, because you recognize the problem.

Be not deceived by the form of problems today. ²Whenever any difficulty seems to rise, tell yourself quickly:

³Let me recognize this problem so it can be solved.

⁴Then try to suspend all judgment about what the problem is. ⁵If possible, close your eyes for a moment and ask what it is. ⁶You will be heard and you will be answered. (A Course in Miracles, W-79.1:4–2:2;4:1-2;6;10. See also ACIM Lesson 79 Insights.)

While we believe our identity is defined by our body, we are believing that separation is real. This belief is the only problem that needs to be resolved. All the complexity we see in the world are just variations in form that hide the simplicity of God’s Love.

His Love is universally one and the same throughout. Being eternal, there is no time when His Love varies. It is given equally to all without limit. Love’s changelessness means its peace can never be disturbed.

Whenever anything disturbs our peace, it is time to remind ourselves that we are perceiving a problem that is not real. It is time to ask the Holy Spirit to help us heal our misperception. This willingness will open our mind to accept the real solution to our perceived problem. The Holy Spirit will show us that there are no differences and that only Love’s oneness is real.

Our Father’s Love Is with Us Forever

God’s Voice speaks to me all through the day.

It is quite possible to listen to God’s Voice all through the day without interrupting your regular activities in any way. ²The part of your mind in which truth abides is in constant communication with God, whether you are aware of it or not.

The part that is listening to the Voice for God is calm, always at rest and wholly certain. ²It is really the only part there is. ³The other part is a wild illusion, frantic and distraught, but without reality of any kind. ⁴Try today not to listen to it. ⁵Try to identify with the part of your mind where stillness and peace reign forever. ⁶Try to hear God’s Voice call to you lovingly, reminding you that your Creator has not forgotten His Son.

Listen in deep silence. ²Be very still and open your mind. ³Go past all the raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your real thoughts and obscure your eternal link with God. ⁴Sink deep into the peace that waits for you beyond the frantic, riotous thoughts and sights and sounds of this insane world. ⁵You do not live here. ⁶We are trying to reach your real home. ⁷We are trying to reach the place where you are truly welcome. ⁸We are trying to reach God.

…be sure to sit quietly and repeat the idea for today whenever you can, closing your eyes on the world, and realizing that you are inviting God’s Voice to speak to you. (A Course in Miracles, W-49.1:1-2;2;4;5:3. See also ACIM Lesson 49 Insights.)

Part of our mind is in constant communication with God. It is participating in the constant extension of Love to all Love. This is our only function as God’s Creation.

But because of our wish to experience specialness, to be different and unique, we have invented an illusion of ourselves that dwells in a dream of conflict, isolation and loss. We have given this dream precedence in our mind, denying the oneness of the Love that is our true Identity.

This dream will fade into the nothingness from which it came when we prefer to identify with the part of our mind that remembers our unity with the Love of our Father. Today we practice pausing to let peace come to our troubled mind. In peace we will hear our Father’s Voice assure us that His Love remains with us, now and forever.
