We Always Have Help

Do not despair, then, because of limitations. It is your function to escape from them, but not to be without them. If you would be heard by those who suffer, you must speak their language. If you would be a savior, you must understand what needs to be escaped. Salvation is not theoretical. Behold the problem, ask for the answer, and then accept it when it comes. Nor will its coming be long delayed. All the help you can accept will be provided, and not one need you have will not be met. Let us not, then, be too concerned with goals for which you are not ready. God takes you where you are and welcomes you. What more could you desire, when this is all you need? (A Course in Miracles, M-26.4)

We always have all the help we need to awaken from the dream of separation. If it seems difficult to forgive, to let go of the belief that the world of form is real, it is only because part of us is reluctant to accept the help. Gratefully our small willingness opens the door for help to come in that begins the process of freeing us from our self-imposed limitations.

Each time we turn to the Holy Spirit for help, we open the door further to receive the help we need. The Holy Spirit never gives up on us. We just need to keep practicing. We need to bring our thoughts of fear, guilt, lack and limitation to the Holy Spirit, moment by moment, with willingness to accept His help.

With this practice we will accept more and more help. Difficulties that seemed overwhelming become easier and easier to pass by. More and more we will be able to see the unity we have with all our brothers. Old habits of judgment will weaken as we turn over our judgments to the Holy Spirit to judge on our behalf.

He will always show us the Love and innocence beyond all the forms of the world. We will see it in our brothers and recognize it in ourselves more and more. We dedicate today to the practice of accepting Holy Spirit’s help.

Today We Turn to the Peace of God Within

The peace of God is shining in you now, and from your heart extends around the world. It pauses to caress each living thing, and leaves a blessing with it that remains forever and forever. What it gives must be eternal. It removes all thoughts of the ephemeral and valueless. It brings renewal to all tired hearts, and lights all vision as it passes by. All of its gifts are given everyone, and everyone unites in giving thanks to you who give, and you who have received. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.188.3)

Within us is an eternal refuge which we can turn to for relief from the chaos of the world. God gave us His peace and it remains with us forever. The world of form, the dream of separation, can seem to cover it up but His peace still remains in our hearts. We need only redirect our attention from the figures in the dream to the peace of God within.

When we turn to the peace of God within and accept the gift of peace, we look on the world anew. The dancing shadows that seem to battle in the world are looked past and we are able to see the changeless Love beyond the conflict.

Today we practice mindfulness to be aware of disturbances to our peace. We take these disturbances to the peace within where the Light of God shines through the false images. It shows us our safety and answers the call for Love with Love.

With this practice today will be a day of happiness and peace. It will be a day of the Love in us joining with the Love in all our brothers. And it will be a blessed day indeed.

Trust in Holy Spirit’s Process

It is easy to get wrapped up in the experiences of the world. The body’s senses were made to make the world of form seem real. Most of our life has been invested in the seeming reality of the world. This investment, this valuing of the world of false images, needs to be undone to make way for the acceptance of the Reality of Oneness in Love.

Time is a key ego mechanism for making the world seem real. It seems so easy to get wrapped up in scenarios of so much to do in so little time. The seeming shortage of time fosters stress, uncertainty, confusion and even helplessness. Time seems to be out of our control, marching relentlessly onward, disregarding our needs.

Yet time is just part of the illusion of being separate. It is not real. But it does no good to tell ourselves time is not real. We need help from outside the belief system that embraces time as real. We need to turn to the Holy Spirit moment by moment to receive His way of perceiving the world. He recognizes what we see but He does not believe it.

If we are willing, He will help us see past these appearances. As we let go of the seeming urgency of time, peace returns to our once troubled mind. In peace we receive inspiration that leads us away from the detours of the ego thought system and saves us time. This inspiration applies to even the minutest details of our doing in this world if we are willing to receive it. As we are willing to accept His help, the Holy Spirit uses time to free us from the world of limitation, to free us from time’s tyranny. Today we will practice trusting in Holy Spirit’s process.

There Is Nothing to Fear. Love Is Here.

This is God’s Final Judgment: “You are still My holy Son, forever innocent, forever loving and forever loved, as limitless as your Creator, and completely changeless and forever pure. Therefore awaken and return to Me. I am your Father and you are My Son.” (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.10.5)

This beautiful statement assures us of our Father’s Love. It is a call by Love to Love, beckoning us to return to Love. It is the release from fear because we are assured that God’s Love for us will never cease.

The world we seem to experience with the body is a false perception that blinds us to the ever present Love that streams ceaselessly to us from the Source of Love. We can rest in the comfort of knowing that we are safe in Love’s strength. Love’s joy and peace are ever present.

There is nothing to fear. Love is here.

Returning to Reality

Behind the experience of a world of separation is the Reality of our one true Self. Our true Self is changeless Love where there are no differences. There is no past and future because there is no time. There is only the eternal, changeless Presence of Love, which shares all of Itself equally with All That Is.

We all are in the process of returning to Reality, returning to the awareness that we are all of Love and in Love eternally. In order to return to Reality, we need to let go of or forgive our belief in unreality, of being separate and alone. This letting go of the idea of separation is what time is for now. We do this by taking all our thoughts about what we are and where we are to our true Self to have our thoughts transformed. It is only our true Self that is aware that we are pure Love and nothing else.

Today we practice stepping back from what we think is true and letting our mind be healed of all our false ideas of what we are and where we are. We open our minds to be enlightened by Truth. We let our minds be healed today. We are in great gratitude that we have all the help we need as so as we are willing to step back and receive the help.

Making Stress-Free Decisions

Every decision we try to make on our own in the world is fraught with uncertainty. No matter how hard we try, we know that there are unknown potential consequences of the decision. Thankfully, we have within our minds a Resource we can go to That does know all consequences and what will be truly helpful to all.

It is time to relinquish all attempts to make decisions on our own. By turning decisions over to our inner Source of Wisdom, we relieve ourselves of anxiety, stress, uncertainty and guilt. We make way for the gentle flow of Love’s peace and happiness to experience and to give. We make way for the deep fulfillment that comes with accepting our function.

Today we join with the Source of Wisdom within in all our decisions. And it will be a day of peace and gratitude.
