Remembering You Are at Home in God

The Thought God holds of you is perfectly unchanged by your forgetting. It will always be exactly as it was before the time when you forgot, and will be just the same when you remember. And it is the same within the interval when you forgot.

The Thoughts of God are far beyond all change, and shine forever. They await not birth. They wait for welcome and remembering. The Thought God holds of you is like a star, unchangeable in an eternal sky. So high in Heaven is it set that those outside of Heaven know not it is there. Yet still and white and lovely will it shine through all eternity. There was no time it was not there; no instant when its light grew dimmer or less perfect ever was. (A Course in Miracles, T-30.III.7:6-8;8:1-7. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

Imagine being in a place where you feel perfectly safe… You are surrounded by joyful peace… Your heart is overflowing with Love, which you freely share in gratitude… All that you see is dearly loved and loving… There is no conflict here… Only a joyful joining in the Love of God…

The extent to which you are able to imagine this is but a tiny taste of the experience of your Home and your Creator. This is your Reality. Welcome It with gratitude… It is already given you and is eternally yours.

Forgive the world for the seeming barriers that hide this awareness from you. In truth there is no barrier. As you lay the barriers down, Love’s blessing flows through you and you remember You are at Home.

Seeing the World Through Holy Spirit’s Eyes

The real world is a symbol, like the rest of what perception offers. Yet it stands for what is opposite to what you made. Your world is seen through eyes of fear, and brings the witnesses of terror to your mind. The real world cannot be perceived except through eyes forgiveness blesses, so they see a world where terror is impossible, and witnesses to fear can not be found.

The real world holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your world; a sure correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle which your world contains. The real world shows a world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a mind at peace. Nothing but rest is there. There are no cries of pain and sorrow heard, for nothing there remains outside forgiveness. And the sights are gentle. Only happy sights and sounds can reach the mind that has forgiven itself.” (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 291, W-pII.8.1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 291 Insights.)

Today we practice stepping back and seeing the world through Holy Spirit’s eyes. The Holy Spirit helps us see the world differently. With Holy Spirit we are able to see past bodies, past separate forms, to see the simple, uncomplicated Love that is always there.

Complexity and problems are of the ego. We do not have to believe it. As we are willing, we can be carried past the stories of the world to the constant and changeless awareness of Love’s presence, where peace and happiness abide. All this comes to us today as we step back and see the world through Holy Spirit’s eyes. We are so grateful for this help.

The Truth About You

Salvation requires the acceptance of but one thought;—you are as God created you, not what you made of yourself. Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as God created you. Whatever mistakes you made, the truth about you is unchanged. Creation is eternal and unalterable. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. You are and will forever be exactly as you were created. Light and joy and peace abide in you because God put them there.

Try not to interfere with the Self which God created as you, by hiding Its majesty behind the tiny idols of evil and sinfulness you have made to replace It. Let It come into Its Own. Here you are; This is You. And light and joy and peace abide in you because this is so. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 93, W-pI.93.7;9:5-8. See also ACIM Lesson 93 Insights.)

The truth about you and everyone is so glorious that as we learn to accept it, happiness replaces doubt and fear, lack and loss of any kind. Accepting that we are still as God created us is at the core of our awakening.

As we are willing to accept the truth about ourselves and everyone, the ego’s thoughts of separation disappear. As our willingness and vigilance to remember the truth grows stronger, we are able to become aware of the strength of God in us.

In truth Love is the only Power. Accepting Love and extending Love becomes our highest priority. It is our only function. We learn to trust the power of Love in every situation instead of accepting the ego’s faulty ideas that stem from our belief that we succeeded in separating from God and being different than God.

Today we practice reinforcing what is eternally true about us — Light and peace and joy abide in us because it is the essence of what we are.

Seeing Past Separate Forms to Love’s Oneness

I thank You, Father, knowing You will come to close each little gap that lies between the broken pieces of Your holy Son. Your Holiness, complete and perfect, lies in every one of them. And they are joined because what is in one is in them all. How holy is the smallest grain of sand, when it is recognized as being part of the completed picture of God’s Son! The forms the broken pieces seem to take mean nothing. For the whole is in each one. And every aspect of the Son of God is just the same as every other part.

Join not your brother’s dreams but join with him, and where you join His Son the Father is. Who seeks for substitutes when he perceives he has lost nothing? Who would want to have the “benefits” of sickness when he has received the simple happiness of health? What God has given cannot be a loss, and what is not of Him has no effects. What, then, would you perceive within the gap? The seeds of sickness come from the belief that there is joy in separation, and its giving up would be a sacrifice. But miracles are the result when you do not insist on seeing in the gap what is not there. Your willingness to let illusions go is all the Healer of God’s Son requires. He will place the miracle of healing where the seeds of sickness were. And there will be no loss, but only gain. (A Course in Miracles, T-28.IV.9-10. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

As we forgive our dream of separation, we are able to become aware of the Love that lies beyond it. We recognize that separate forms are just a barrier to the awareness of Love’s Presence. We are so grateful that separation could never be. We are able to see the innocence that lies behind the ego’s perception of guilt. Today our practice is to let the Holy Spirit close the little gap and see every brother’s holiness. This is the happy dream that comes from the Holy Spirit, which we accept today.

Heaven’s Help Is Always Now

There is no living thing that does not share the universal Will that it be whole, and that you do not leave its call unheard. …The Christ in you remembers God with all the certainty with which He knows His Love. But only if His Son is innocent can He be Love. …God’s perfect Son remembers his creation. But in guilt he has forgotten what he really is.

The fear of God results as surely from the lesson that His Son is guilty as God’s Love must be remembered when he learns his innocence. (A Course in Miracles, T-31.I.9:1,3,6-7;10:1. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

As we let ourselves remember that we are only Love and that this world is an illusion, we learn to lighten up. We let peace lead the way. We take one baby step at a time in each present moment, and let ourselves be led by the Holy Spirit.

We stay relaxed and remember that everything we truly need is there for us as we need it… We have all the help of Heaven in our process of returning to the truth… We have all the help of Heaven in discerning the difference between the real and the unreal…

The Light of truth is right there in our minds waiting to shine Its beneficent Light on all our perceptions. We open to this Light as we go through our day. We heal as we allow innocence to replace all perceptions of guilt, lack or loss. And we are so grateful we have all the help we need.

Sharing God’s Love Is Our One Function

I gave only love to the Kingdom because I believed that was what I was. What you believe you are determines your gifts, and if God created you by extending Himself as you, you can only extend yourself as He did.

To think like God is to share His certainty of what you are, and to create like Him is to share the perfect Love He shares with you. To this the Holy Spirit leads you, that your joy may be complete because the Kingdom of God is whole. (A Course in Miracles, T-7.I.5:1-2;6:1-2. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

Sharing God’s Love with all equally is what brings us true and lasting happiness. As we step back and listen in quiet to the Holy Spirit, we are taught to love as God loves. We are taught to see past the ego’s thought system to the truth about everyone. As we learn to see as Holy Spirit sees, we know everyone is God’s extension of Love and is still as God created them. We know Thus we learn that extending or sharing God’s Love is our one function. This is our practice for today.

Willingness to Follow Holy Spirit’s Lead

Holy Spirit, we dedicate this day to following Your lead. We trust that You will guide us in the way that is truly helpful. Guide our thoughts that we may see innocence everywhere. Guide our hearts that we may feel Love’s Presence in all things. Guide our feet that we may follow the path You would have us go. Guide our hands that we would give and receive what You would have us receive and give. Guide our vision, that we may see the face of Christ in everyone. Amen
