Robert: Today we read “The Test of Truth” section of the ACIM Text (T-14.XI). It reminded me that if I want to experience Heaven, I must give up totally any thought that I am on my own or separate in any way. I must not hold anything back for myself alone. I must offer all my thoughts to the Holy Spirit for His judgment in the Light. His judgment is very simple. He simply classifies every thought as love or a call for love. The Holy Spirit returns my thoughts of love magnified a thousand times and more. He shines His Light on my thoughts that call for love and the Light shows that they are nothing. He replaces these thoughts with Love, for Love is all there is.
Following Holy Spirit’s lead means letting Love guide me in all things. This practice will ultimately lead me to the full unqualified recognition that Love is all there is and I am one with that Love. In that recognition, all my brothers are joined with me at Home in Love.
In my daily experience, it is clear that I still reserve some thoughts for myself alone because I do not remain consistently in perfect peace. But the level of peace I do experience shows me that the practice of following Holy Spirit’s lead is working. My peace is disturbed less and less. Gratitude fills my heart more and more. Judgment divides me from my brothers less frequently. Though I am less certain of the future in form than I have ever been, I am happier and consistently in more peace than I have ever been. My faith is shifting from the shifting forms of ego to the certainty of God’s Love. I give thanks.
Mary: Today is a day of quiet listening. Today is a day of allowing my mind to be open to Holy Spirit’s guidance in the moment. Today is a day of accepting Holy Spirit’s peace. Today is a day of not deciding anything on my own. Today is a day of patience and trust. Today is a day of watching the ego thoughts that show up and allowing the Light of the Holy Spirit to shine them away. Today is a day of quiet inner peace. The Holy Spirit will bring to mind all that I need to know. And I give thanks.
