Accepting the Thoughts of God

The Thoughts of God are far beyond all change, and shine forever. They await not birth. They wait for welcome and remembering.

Beyond all idols is the Thought God holds of you. Completely unaffected by the turmoil and the terror of the world, the dreams of birth and death that here are dreamed, the myriad of forms that fear can take; quite undisturbed, the Thought God holds of you remains exactly as it always was. Surrounded by a stillness so complete no sound of battle comes remotely near, it rests in certainty and perfect peace. Here is your one reality kept safe, completely unaware of all the world that worships idols, and that knows not God. In perfect sureness of its changelessness and of its rest in its eternal home, the Thought God holds of you has never left the Mind of its Creator… (A Course in Miracles, T-30.III.8:1-3;10:1-5. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

As we accept the Thoughts of God, we are brought to an inner place of peace… We know that we are perfectly safe and that all is well… We see the truth in all our brothers, who mirror back the truth to us…

The Thoughts we think with God bring us to the Light of oneness… In this sacred place, we are not attracted to believe in false ideas… We are undisturbed by the turmoil of the world… We are filled with gratitude that only the Thoughts of God are true…

We Are God’s Peace, Love and Joy

The power of decision is our own. And we accept of Him that which we are, and humbly recognize the Son of God. To recognize God’s Son implies as well that all self-concepts have been laid aside, and recognized as false. Their arrogance has been perceived. And in humility the radiance of God’s Son, his gentleness, his perfect sinlessness, his Father’s Love, his right to Heaven and release from hell, are joyously accepted as our own.

In patience wait for Him throughout the day…. God’s Voice will answer, for He speaks for you and for your Father. He will substitute the peace of God for all your frantic thoughts, the truth of God for self-deceptions, and God’s Son for your illusions of yourself. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 152, W-pI.152.10,12. See also ACIM Lesson 152 Insights.)

In truth we are one with God. We are the extension of God’s Love, peace and joy. This is our true Identity.

We let this truth of our true Identity fill our minds today… We let ourselves be carried by receiving the truth… We let ourselves be lifted up above the turmoil of the world… and receive Holy Spirit’s healing perspective as we go through our day today… We let ourselves remember we are God’s peace, Love and joy… And we gratefully extend God’s peace, Love and joy to every brother we see or even think of in this world.

Rest in the Stillness of God’s Love

“I rest in God.” This thought will bring to you the rest and quiet, peace and stillness, and the safety and the happiness you seek. “I rest in God.” This thought has power to wake the sleeping truth in you, whose vision sees beyond appearances to that same truth in everyone and everything there is. Here is the end of suffering for all the world, and everyone who ever came and yet will come to linger for a while. Here is the thought in which the Son of God is born again, to recognize himself.

“I rest in God.” Completely undismayed, this thought will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and pain, past loss and death, and onward to the certainty of God. There is no suffering it cannot heal. There is no problem that it cannot solve. And no appearance but will turn to truth before the eyes of you who rest in God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 109, W-pI.109.2-3. See also ACIM Lesson 109 Insights.)

There is a Light in us that can guide us through all stormy times — all times of uncertainty, sadness or pain. We open to that Light as we let ourselves rest in God. The certainty and strength of God are ever present, offering us His safety and comfort. We need only pause in any moment and let ourselves sink deeply into God’s perfect peace. This peace is always available to be experienced.

Today is a day to remember to rest in the stillness of God’s Love.

Remembering Love

God’s memory is in our holy minds, which know their oneness and their unity with their Creator. Let our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God’s Will be done on earth, only to be restored to sanity, and to be but as God created us. (A Course in Miracles Workbook, “11. What is Creation?”, W-pII.11.4:5-6. See also ACIM Lesson 321 Insights.)

The memory of Love is eternally in our minds. Love created us like Itself and shares all Its attributes with us. The dream of a world of separation is the denial of Love’s oneness. But we came to let go of that denial and let the memory of Love return. That is our only meaningful function.

Forgiveness is letting go of the denial of Love. Every moment in the dream presents us with an opportunity to forgive or let go of denying Love and is an opportunity to extend Love. The Holy Spirit, the Voice for Love, is our Guide in our minds to help us recognize mistaken thoughts of lovelessness and let them go.

Today is a day to practice letting Holy Spirit help us remember Love.

Opening to Holy Spirit’s Inspiration

Communication is not limited to the small range of channels the world recognizes.… The limits the world places on communication are the chief barriers to direct experience of the Holy Spirit, Whose Presence is always there and Whose Voice is available but for the hearing. These limits are placed out of fear, for without them the walls that surround all the separate places of the world would fall at the holy sound of His Voice. Who transcends these limits in any way is merely becoming more natural. He is doing nothing special, and there is no magic in his accomplishments.

God gives no special favors, and no one has any powers that are not available to everyone.

The Holy Spirit needs these gifts, and those who offer them to Him and Him alone go with Christ’s gratitude upon their hearts, and His holy sight not far behind. (A Course in Miracles, M-25.2:2,5-8;3:7;6:9)

The Holy Spirit knows our true Identity is one with all of God’s perfect Love. The Holy Spirit also knows this is true about everyone in this world. As we learn to quiet our minds and sincerely open to the truth, the Holy Spirit can help us throughout the day to be truly helpful in this world.

The Holy Spirit needs us to be open-minded and not decide what anything means on our own… As we are willing to step back and receive Holy Spirit’s insight with every situation we encounter, we will receive it…

With Holy Spirit, there is nothing to fear… We feel a sense of peace, patience and Love that the Holy Spirit transmits through us… We feel relaxed and trusting that our inner Teacher is there for us, no matter what shows up in the dream of separate bodies…

We know that God is our strength and vision is His gift… With Holy Spirit we are able to see past the separate forms of this world to the eternal oneness of God’s Love…

As we receive God’s gifts of peace and understanding, we freely extend them to everyone, because by sharing His gifts, we know they are ours… All this comes naturally as we consistently practice opening to Holy Spirit’s inspiration.

We Let Ourselves Be Carried

Today we practice stepping back and letting ourselves be carried by Love’s kind and gentle Light…

We let Love’s peace flow through everything we do… We let Love’s peace heal our unhealed thoughts…

We decide nothing on our own and let ourselves be carried by Holy Spirit’s gentle inspiration in all our activities today.

Letting Holy Spirit Lead Us to Joy

Today we dedicate to following Holy Spirit’s lead. As we follow His lead, every moment is an opportunity to extend Love and answer calls for love with Love.

This practice will make the day a happy day indeed. For what could be more joyous than to be Love’s expression? All condemnation is laid aside and our oneness with all our brothers is remembered.

The Holy Spirit leads us to a “family reunion” as we recognize our unity with every brother. With this recognition we reunite in the oneness of Love, our Creator and our Source. It will be a joyous reunion indeed.
