The Joy of Love

Think of how it feels when you fall in love. It’s a joy to be with that person. You may even feel you want to spend the rest of your life with that person. You want to be with that person all the time.

Think about what it would be like to feel that way about everyone, without exception. Your days would be filled with joy and nothing could disturb your peace. You would see everyone as your dearest Friend.

All that stands between you and this experience is a false idea of what you are. You were created in joy by Love. But when you believe you are separate from this Love, joy is impossible. Sorrow follows you wherever you go while you think you are separate from the Love that created you. You are still this Love, though you are unaware of it.

To let this Love return to your awareness, you need to forgive yourself for the vain imagining that you are something other than Love. Let the Truth in you, the Holy Spirit, guide all your seeing today. Let Him help you see past the imagined forms of separation, lack and loss. Let Him help you see the Light of Love that is everywhere around you and in you. Let Him help you forgive yourself.

Today we again practice letting Holy Spirit guide all our seeing.

Answering Love’s Call

Love is one and knows there is nothing outside of Itself. That is why attack is inconceivable to Love. The dream of separation that is this world is the denial of the oneness of Love and is therefore the denial of Love Itself. Everyone who believes they are in this world experiences lack of Love and feels incomplete.

In this world we are all seeking for completion, calling for the Love we believe we have lost. In the thought system of separation we search for completion by looking for it outside of ourselves in some form or situation or relationship. Sometimes we seek completion by being nice, to be accepted, hoping that someone will take the bait and join with us. Sometimes it seems as if this tactic works except that eventually we realize that we still feel incomplete.

This triggers a reaction to the other’s failure to fulfill the role we assigned so we attack them for their failure. This dynamic is the basis for war as well as depression and anger. Attack never resolves anything. It simply perpetuates the perception of separation and the guilt that comes with it. Thankfully we are given the means to step out of the cycle of seeking and not finding, attack and guilt.

This gift from God is His Voice in our minds, ever ready to guide us back to Love, when we are willing to follow. With the practice of turning over all judgment to the Holy Spirit to judge on our behalf, we make way for a new way of seeing. What we think is threat, the Holy Spirit shows us is a call for Love. He shows us how to answer that call with Love instead of a counterattack. And we will learn that only Love is real. We will learn that we are Love and nothing else.

Accepting Christ’s Vision

Behold the store of miracles set out for you to give. Are you not worth the gift, when God appointed it be given you? Judge not God’s Son, but follow in the way He has established. Christ has dreamed the dream of a forgiven world. It is His gift, whereby a sweet transition can be made from death to life; from hopelessness to hope. Let us an instant dream with Him. His dream awakens us to truth. His vision gives the means for a return to our unlost and everlasting sanctity in God. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.159.10)

The Holy Spirit shows us the face of Christ in every brother. As we are willing to accept Holy Spirit’s vision instead of our hallucinations of separation, guilt and conflict, we see a forgiven world. We see past the dream of separation to the eternal Presence of God’s holy Light. We see innocence where once saw guilt. We see oneness where we once saw separation.

The Holy Spirit will show us the real world as we are willing to realize that we have no need to see a world of separation, lack and loss. We have no need to dream of being a victim of a world that is outside us. We are willing to let go of these false images and accept a dream of a forgiven world. The Holy Spirit will bring us Christ’s vision as we are willing to accept it. This is our practice for today.

Who Am I? Where Am I?

Whenever we feel disturbed, it is because we do not remember Who we are and Where we are. We are believing in a false image of ourselves that is vulnerable and capable of loss. We need a reality check.

The first step toward a reality check is to pause when we notice any disturbance to our peace… Then we focus on the center of peace that is within us… We open to the experience of peace as much as we can and ask the Holy Spirit to help us see as He sees…

The Holy Spirit never forgets Who we are and Where we are. He knows we are God’s Son, at one with Him in Heaven, complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of His Love. If we are willing to open our minds to the Holy Spirit’s gentle correction, He will remind us of Who we are and Where we are.

As we let the memory of our true Self return to our awareness, we return to our natural state of peace. This is our practice for today.

We Stay Open for Inspiration

The Holy Spirit needs a quiet open mind in order to have Its messages be received by us. Our opportunity today is to practice opening up to Divine Inspiration. God’s Will for us is perfect happiness. God’s Will for us that we remember What we are and Where we are eternally — in the one Mind of eternal Love.

Today we give more time in quiet listening instead of thinking we already know the answer to the “problems” that come up through the day. We are willing to let our minds be changed. We are willing to recognize the problem so it can be solved. We let go of our belief in a world outside ourselves. We do this by staying open to the Holy Spirit’s Inspiration all through the day.

Accepting Serenity and Peace from Our True Self

Serenity and perfect peace are mine, because I am one Self, completely whole, at one with all creation and with God. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.113.1:2)

Today our practice is to focus on accepting God’s serenity and perfect peace all through the day. It is our highest priority. As we let the Holy Spirit guide is in all things, we are accepting God’s serenity and perfect peace. Today we remain vigilant to let ourselves be carried by the Holy Spirit through every activity. And it will be a day of serenity and peace.

Today We Have One Purpose

Our one purpose today is to see past the world to the One Mind of God That is everywhere. Today we practice seeing past the circumstances of the ever-changing patterns of the ego’s stories. We welcome the truth and accept it when it comes. We know our one purpose is to see past the world to the truth that we all are still as God created us.

We are all God’s Love extending God’s Love forever. We have one purpose of accepting God as God is today. God is One; there is nothing else.
