Making Way for Love

Today our focus is on remembering that, of ourselves, we do not know what anything means. This remembering is key to our release from fear and return to Love. All fear and guilt come from giving a mistaken meaning to our perceptions.

No form in the world has any real substance. It is the meaning we give the forms that we react to. Sometimes they scare us. Sometimes they seem to make us happy. But being based on a mistaken meaning, the fear and the temporary happiness can be replaced by perfect Love and joy beyond description.

We make way for this miracle by our willingness to accept Holy Spirit’s meaning for everything in the world. Holy Spirit knows that only Love is real. The meaning He gives everything is to show us the reality of Love beyond the images. Today we make way for Love by opening our minds to receive Holy Spirit’s meaning.

Returning to Happiness

Father, Your Son is perfect. When I think that I am hurt in any way, it is because I have forgotten who I am, and that I am as You created me. Your Thoughts can only bring me happiness. If ever I am sad or hurt or ill, I have forgotten what You think, and put my little meaningless ideas in place of where Your Thoughts belong, and where they are. I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts. The Thoughts I think with You can only bless. The Thoughts I think with You alone are true. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.281.1.)

The Course reminds us that we are a Thought in the Mind of God. We are the Beingness of Love, Which is what God is. There is only one Beingness that is real, and this is the Beingness of pure happiness, pure joy, pure Love, pure peace. This eternal Beingness is always present in our minds, waiting for our return.

Today our practice is to allow our true Beingness of infinite Love and happiness to return to our minds. Like the prodigal son, we have wandered into dreams of being alone and unhappy. We have wandered into dreams of lack, loss, sickness and death.

Today we would be mindful of thoughts that hurt, that separate. We would be willing to let these thoughts be removed by the Holy Spirit. We are willing to let go of the mistaken idea that we are separate from our Source. Our Source is Love and happiness. We now would return to What is ours eternally. We have thrown It away, but now we are willing for the truth to be restored to our minds. We are willing to return to God’s perfect happiness today.

Accepting God’s Light in Our Minds

God is perfect Love and we are extensions of His Love. Only Love exists and any wild imaginings that we are different or separate from God’s Love are false.

Today our practice is to remind ourselves frequently that everyone rests in God’s Love, along with us, and God’s gifts are given equally to everyone. We are all totally immersed in God’s Love and we are one with that Love. Today we would focus on this Truth and let It enlighten our minds and shine away all our false ideas.

Accepting the Peace of God

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.)

What greater gift can we receive and give than to accept God’s peace? The holiday season can be stressful or peaceful. It is our choice.

Our practice for today is to remember first to accept the peace of God, and then follow in the way peace leads us. Accepting God’s peace puts us in the flow of inspiration from the Holy Spirit. We can make this a joyous holiday season by making accepting God’s peace our highest priority.

As we accept peace, we naturally extend it, because God’s gift of peace cannot be limited. What a beautiful gift it is to extend peace to everyone we meet or even think of. This is how we have a happy, joyous day.

We Are Joined in God’s Wholeness

We are the joint will of the Sonship, whose Wholeness is for all. We begin the journey back by setting out together, and gather in our brothers as we continue together. Every gain in our strength is offered for all, so they too can lay aside their weakness and add their strength to us. God’s welcome waits for us all, and He will welcome us as I am welcoming you. Forget not the Kingdom of God for anything the world has to offer. (A Course in Miracles, T-8.VI.1.)

We accept every brother’s wholeness in God as we remember that they are joined with us in the one Christ Mind. Because we all share the same Mind, and we are only Mind, not bodies, there can be no division between us. Because we share one Mind in truth, all sense of conflict and division is illusion and illusions mean nothing.

Our practice for today is to let this truth sink in deeply and apply it to every situation we encounter through the day. We are joined in God’s wholeness. That recognition as we go through the day changes how we see ourselves and how we see everyone in this world. God’s Kingdom is for all. All that is real is in God’s Kingdom. That is why the Course reminds us that “Nothing real [God’s Kingdom] can be threatened. Nothing unreal [differences, conflict] exists. Herein lies the peace of God.” We do not have to believe we are threatened by what is unreal. Only Love is real. Only Love heals. Nothing else exists. For this we give thanks. Learning this is what today is for.

Only Your Will, Holy Spirit

This is our prayer for today:
Holy Spirit, we would not decide on our own what anything means in this world. We open to Your inspiration, Holy Spirit, and only want Your will be done. We remember Your will is our will.

We ask for Your clarity and Light to guide our way today. We choose peace and follow in the way You lead us. We are grateful we have You as our inner Teacher Who is right here, waiting to bring Light to every situation. And for this we give thanks.
