We Can Accept Heaven Instead of Hell

Love created us like Itself. In truth we are the Love that God created us to be. Love is indivisible. So we are one with all Love, which means we are one with all happiness, joy and infinite, eternal peace. We are one with all of God’s attributes.

Because we are one, we are Heaven. Now is the time to choose to accept What we are in truth and let illusions of hell go. Now is the time to accept the truth that we are not separate from Heaven. We are not separate from God and every brother. We are not alone. Now is the time to accept the truth that we are one, universal Mind of Love, where all happiness is.

Accepting this truth about ourselves and every brother is our practice for today. We can accept Heaven now instead of hell as our one reality. We are ready to accept this truth. We joyfully let the barriers down so truth can return to our minds.

Deciding with God

“I have decided on my own and have been wrong. I am willing to let go of all past decisions. I am willing to choose differently. I am willing to surrender to the Source of all Love to make all decisions for me. I am willing to step back and be led Home to my true Identity as an extension of Love… and nothing else. I am willing to decide with God.” (From Pathways of Light ACIM Practitioner course 907: The Power of Decision—Cause & Effect)

Willingness to Practice

You are as God created you. Today honor your Self. Let graven images you made to be the Son of God instead of what he is be worshipped not today. Deep in your mind the holy Christ in you is waiting your acknowledgment as you. And you are lost and do not know yourself while He is unacknowledged and unknown.

If you are shaken, think of [the fact that you are still as God created you] again. These practice periods are planned to help you form the habit of applying what you learn each day to everything you do. Do not repeat the thought and lay it down. Its usefulness is limitless to you. And it is meant to serve you in all ways, all times and places, and whenever you need help of any kind. Try, then, to take it with you in the business of the day and make it holy, worthy of God’s Son, acceptable to God and to your Self. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.110.9:1-2,4-5;Review III.11)

The couple who won the ice dancing Olympic gold metal had practiced for that moment for 17 years. They had a single focus all those years.

If we would awaken to our true Self, we need to have that same dedication to this one goal above all else. It seems slow and difficult to let go of our limited way of thinking only because we distract ourselves with other goals that seem to have more value.

But just as the ice dancers practiced many hours every day, we need to have that same willingness and discipline to apply the healing inspiration of the Holy Spirit every moment of every day. With this willingness to practice, practice, practice, we will reach the heavenly “gold” — the remembrance that we are still as God created us. We will carry God’s Thought of Love with us through the business of every day. With our willingness to practice, we are healed and we extend healing to the world.

We Are Not On Our Own

Believing we are on our own is a barrier against accepting God’s Help. God has given us all of His Love. The Help He gives, the Holy Spirit, is His expression of Love extended into the dream world.

The practice of opening our minds and hearts to the Holy Spirit’s Presence is how we open to receiving God’s gift of Love. As we let the Holy Spirit guide our thoughts and actions, we are letting the Love of God be expressed through us into the dream world of separation. As we participate in this expression, we experience the ease and peace and joy of Love’s extension in us and through us.

We bless the world as we let God’s Love be extended through us with Holy Spirit’s guidance. Everything we do in the world, from the simple act of washing the dishes or emptying the trash to paying bills or doing our daily work, becomes an extension of God’s Love when we let Holy Spirit guide us in each moment. Today is another day to experience God’s blessing by practicing letting Holy Spirit lead the way.

You Are God’s Son

You are God’s Son. In immortality you live forever. Would you not return your mind to this? Then practice well the thought the Holy Spirit gives you for today. Your brothers stand released with you in it; the world is blessed along with you, God’s Son will weep no more, and Heaven offers thanks for the increase of joy your practice brings even to it. And God Himself extends His Love and happiness each time you say:

I am not a body. I am free. I hear the Voice that God has given me, and it is only this my mind obeys. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.199:8)

Today is a day of recognizing how blessed we are as God’s Son. As God’s Son, we are Love, immersed in Love. We are peace and joy, totally one with all peace and joy. We have all of Heaven in our minds, because in truth we are Heaven. God has given all of Himself to the Sonship. Today we live in gratitude for all the blessings and happiness that are ours, only requiring our willingness to receive.

There Is Nothing to Fear. God Is Here.

God is your safety in every circumstance. His Voice speaks for Him in all situations and in every aspect of all situations, telling you exactly what to do to call upon His strength and His protection. There are no exceptions because God has no exceptions. And the Voice which speaks for Him thinks as He does.

…try to reach down into your mind to a place of real safety. You will recognize that you have reached it if you feel a sense of deep peace, however briefly. Let go all the trivial things that churn and bubble on the surface of your mind, and reach down and below them to the Kingdom of Heaven. There is a place in you where there is perfect peace. There is a place in you where nothing is impossible. There is a place in you where the strength of God abides. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.47.3,7)

Being willing to recognize that God is with us in every circumstance is a key element to freeing ourselves from the experience of bondage and limitation that comes with believing we are a separate identity. Our practice for today is to reinforce as much as possible that God is with us and in our mind right now. God’s Voice is there every minute of the day to help return us to the remembrance of our one true Identity in God.

Remembering God is letting ourselves experience the joy and peace that is inherent in What we are. If we are in fear or worried about anything, it is a sign that we need to remember that our strength is in God, not in trying to solve problems on our own. When we accept God’s strength, peace and joy as ours, we know there is nothing to fear.

Thank You Father for Your Gifts

Our prayer for today:
Help us to be Your expressions of Love in the world, Father. Help us remember Your gifts of strength, certainty, happiness and peace. Help us bring Your assurance of Your gifts to our brothers and learn that They are ours as well.

Help us release the barriers we have mistakenly interposed between our awareness and the gifts You have given us. With Your help we will move past these mistaken beliefs and remember that we are the Love You created us to be. We will recognize that same Love in every brother. And we will be Your messengers of Love as we demonstrate and teach what we need to learn. Thank You Father for Your Gifts.
