Receive Peace. Extend Peace.

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)

The greatest gift we can receive and give is the gift of God’s peace. It purifies our mind of all wandering thoughts and brings with it a sense of well being, safety and caring. Its kind Light extends through us to the world. God’s gift of peace sets everything right again, when we feel lost and unsettled. It brings us back to our Source, where we belong. It is our rudder, our safety, as we travel in the rough seas of constant change in this world.

Receiving God’s gift of peace brings all the inspiration we need with any circumstance we encounter. We open to the Light and the Light leads us Home. Receiving peace purifies our view of the world so we can see clearly. Today our practice is to focus on receiving peace and as we receive peace, we just naturally extend it to the world.

Opening to the Holy Spirit’s Light

Today is an opportunity to see the face of innocence — the Love of God — in everyone and everything, everywhere. It is always there to see. But to see It we must be willing to give up our wild imaginings, our dreams of individuality and specialness.

Today we dedicate to holding our minds open to the Holy Spirit’s Light that it may shine on everything we encounter to show us the truth beyond the forms. We gladly offer all our perceptions to the Light. We are willing to let the Light shine away the mistaken beliefs and welcome the truth of our oneness in Love. This is how we will recognize our brother as our one Self. This is how we let the world of conflict be replaced by the real world that sees only our oneness. We are willing to receive God’s gift of all His Love today.

Our Only Real Need

The world you see must be denied, for sight of it is costing you a different kind of vision. You cannot see both worlds, for each of them involves a different kind of seeing, and depends on what you cherish.

And what you call with love will come to you. Love always answers, being unable to deny a call for help, or not to hear the cries of pain that rise to it from every part of this strange world you made but do not want. All that you need to give this world away in glad exchange for what you did not make is willingness to learn the one you made is false.

Love leads so gladly! As you follow Him, you will rejoice that you have found His company, and learned of Him the joyful journey home.

Love waits on welcome, not on time, and the real world is but your welcome of what always was. (A Course in Miracles, T-13.VII.2:1-2;4:2-4;6:3-4;9:7)

We have dreamed a dream of being separate and alone, vulnerable to a world that we see as outside us. We are learning that these are simply mistaken thoughts. We are leaning to forgive or let go of these thoughts and welcome the truth.

We are so grateful we have an inner Guide, our true Self That leads us out of fear as soon as we are willing to be open to mind healing. We gratefully accept Love’s lead as we see the Love in every brother and join in Love’s eternal oneness.

Our Prayer Today

Holy Spirit, help us to be messengers of Love today. Help us to see past all appearances to the reality of Love. Help us to offer Love where there appears to be lack of Love. Help us to see as You see. With Your help we will see Love’s innocence reflected everywhere and learn that it is our own. With Your help we will see the real world, the forgiven world, that reflects the Love of God. And we give thanks.

Awakening from Our Dreams

[Dreams] are dreams because they are not true. Their equal lack of truth becomes the basis for the miracle, which means that you have understood that dreams are dreams; and that escape depends, not on the dream, but only on awaking. Could it be some dreams are kept, and others wakened from? The choice is not between which dreams to keep, but only if you want to live in dreams or to awaken from them. (A Course in Miracles, T-29.IV.1:2-5)

We waken from dreams when we are willing to no longer believe in them. Dreams are really nothing, but they appear very real while we still are attracted to make them real. It is the Holy Spirit in our minds That shows us the difference between truth and illusion. As we are willing to consistently step back, the Holy Spirit shows us again and again that there is nothing to fear. Our eternal Reality remains safe in our oneness with God.

Each day our practice is to be willing to be shown that we are dreaming a dream and that its content is not true. This is what the Course calls forgiveness. We are learning to forgive our illusions and return to the awareness that we never left our Father’s Home in Heaven. Forgiveness is our only function here while we still think we are a separate body living in a world that is separate from us.

Accepting the Holy Instant

The world is filled with fearful stories of vulnerability, loss and deprivation. It is filled with stories of conflict and differences. We are now learning to take these stories to the Holy Spirit to receive a different perspective. We are learning to take all our uncertainty and doubt and pain to the Holy Spirit, and to see everything through Its healing Light. We are learning to listen and receive the truth behind the illusions of this world.

Our practice today is to consistently open to the holy instant, which is the gift the Holy Spirit brings to us as we open to Its healing Light. We are shown the eternal certainty of our safety in God. We receive the gifts of peace and a deep sense of happiness. We remember that we are being carried as we are willing to let Him heal all our thoughts.

Deciding for God

Decide for God, and everything is given you at no cost at all. Decide against Him, and you choose nothing, at the expense of the awareness of everything. (A Course in Miracles, M-13.8:2-3)

We decide for God as we are willing to open up to the Holy Spirit and see everything in this world as the Holy Spirit sees it. The Holy Spirit teaches us to see everything as Love sees. Love sees only Love. Love recognizes that anything else is a call for Love, and extending Love is the only appropriate response.

The Holy Spirit lifts our thinking out of the ego’s projection of guilt, shines a light on all our illusions, and shows us that only Love is real. As we practice seeing with the Holy Spirit, letting His judgment replace our own, we are filled with peace and happiness. There is nothing to fear as we are willing to let our minds be returned to the truth that we remain as Love created us. All these blessings come as we practice, this day and every day, deciding for God
