God’s Holiness Is Ours

Truth answers every call we make to God,
responding first with miracles, and then
returning unto us to be itself.

Forgiveness, truth’s reflection, tells me how to offer miracles, and thus escape the prison house in which I think I live. ²Your holy Son is pointed out to me, first in my brother; then in me. ³Your Voice instructs me patiently to hear Your Word, and give as I receive. ⁴And as I look upon Your Son today, I hear Your Voice instructing me to find the way to You, as You appointed that the way shall be:

⁵Behold his sinlessness, and be you healed. (A Course in Miracles, W-357. See also ACIM Lesson 357 Insights.)

Forgiveness opens our mind to accept the truth. It appears in this world as a miracle because what was perceived as sinful has been dismissed as nothing and the eternal presence of holiness is recognized. Truth heals all errors in our minds.

The Holy Spirit is always patiently offering us the truth. It is patient because It knows only the truth is real. Our true Self, the Son of God, cannot be harmed or changed at all. It shares God’s holiness.

Today we are willing to hear God’s Voice remind us that we remain as He created us, holy and complete.

We Are Limitless Love

Whom God created limitless is free. ²I can invent imprisonment for him, but only in illusions, not in truth. ³No Thought of God has left its Father’s Mind. ⁴No Thought of God is limited at all. ⁵No Thought of God but is forever pure. ⁶Can I lay limits on the Son of God, whose Father willed that he be limitless, and like Himself in freedom and in love?

Today let me give honor to Your Son, for thus alone I find the way to You. ²Father, I lay no limits on the Son You love and You created limitless. ³The honor that I give to him is Yours, and what is Yours belongs to me as well. (A Course in Miracles, W-280.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 280 Insights.)

Limitations seem to be a fact of life. Some of us try to push the limits of what the body can do. Others feel depressed because of what they believe they cannot do. But neither attitude is focused on solving our only problem. We need to awaken to the fact that we have no limits on our Reality; the Love we are knows no limits.

Today we choose to look upon a different world. We set aside our beliefs that tell us Love is limited and fear justified. We welcome Christ’s vision which shows us the presence of Love everywhere, beyond every appearance, and every belief and limitation.

We are limitless Love. This is our true nature. We yield to our true Nature as God’s extension of His Love. We are willing to give up illusions of limitation and accept that we are God’s Creation, forever one in His Love.

We Let Love Guide Us Today

I will not be afraid of love today.

If I could realize but this today, salvation would be reached for all the world. ²This the decision not to be insane, and to accept myself as God Himself, my Father and my Source, created me. ³This the determination not to be asleep in dreams of death, while truth remains forever living in the joy of love. ⁴And this the choice to recognize the Self Whom God created as the Son He loves, and Who remains my one Identity.

Father, Your Name is Love and so is mine. ²Such is the truth. ³And can the truth be changed by merely giving it another name? ⁴The name of fear is simply a mistake. ⁵Let me not be afraid of truth today. (A Course in Miracles, W-282. See also ACIM Lesson 282 Insights.)

Our identity is Love. It is our only real identity. We have made up a different identity that is afraid of our true Identity. This identity dreams of a life in fear. It populates this dream with separate identities that seem to threaten its life — from micro-organisms to competing personalities to atomic bombs. It is indeed a dream that fears the truth. It fills this dream with all these images to make the dream seem real and hide the truth.

We can awaken from this fearful dream by forgiving the wish for specialness that supports the dream. Within the dream, forgiveness allows God’s Love to be reflected in the dream. We are always free to accept our true Identity as God’s Son, His extension of His Love.

We are Love and nothing else. Today we welcome Love as our Guide. It will help us see beyond the images of the dream to the oneness that is our Self. The dream will fade as we accept the Reality that we are only Love.

This acceptance is reflected in the dream by receiving and giving Love. Love becomes our motivation. Our true desire is to extend Love and answer calls for Love with Love. Love judges only between the reality of Love and the recognition of calls for Love. Its response to either is Love. Today we will listen to Love as our Guide.

Welcoming the Voice of Love

Let every voice but God’s be still in me.

Father, today I would but hear Your Voice. ²In deepest silence I would come to You, to hear Your Voice and to receive Your Word. ³I have no prayer but this: I come to You to ask You for the truth. ⁴And truth is but Your Will, which I would share with You today.

Today we let no ego thoughts direct our words or actions. ²When such thoughts occur, we quietly step back and look at them, and then we let them go. ³We do not want what they would bring with them. ⁴And so we do not choose to keep them. ⁵They are silent now. ⁶And in the stillness, hallowed by His Love, God speaks to us and tells us of our will, as we have chosen to remember Him. (A Course in Miracles, W-254. See also ACIM Lesson 254 Insights.)

The Voice for Love is always calling to us. It tells us God’s Will, which is to be and extend His Love. His Voice comes to us in peace, for that is Love’s innate condition.

We have become accustomed to hearing the voice of chaos. This voice seems to dictate what we need, what to do, and what we are. But it only speaks of illusions that deny Love.

Today we can set aside this voice of fear and welcome the Voice of Love. As we welcome this Voice, we learn to recognize the Self that extends Love without limit. We practice stepping back from engaging in the world’s chaos to settle into Love. In peace, we awaken to our eternal Home in Love’s oneness.

We Are Eternally Held in God’s Love

I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt.

Loss is not loss when properly perceived. ²Pain is impossible. ³There is no grief with any cause at all. ⁴And suffering of any kind is nothing but a dream. ⁵This is the truth, at first to be but said and then repeated many times; and next to be accepted as but partly true, with many reservations. ⁶Then to be considered seriously more and more, and finally accepted as the truth. ⁷I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt. ⁸And I would go beyond these words today, and past all reservations, and arrive at full acceptance of the truth in them.

Father, what You have given cannot hurt, so grief and pain must be impossible. ²Let me not fail to trust in You today, accepting but the joyous as Your gifts; accepting but the joyous as the truth. (A Course in Miracles, W-284. See also ACIM Lesson 284 Insights.)

The proper perception of loss is that it is an illusion, and therefore does not exist. Pain is impossible because it can only seem to occur between conflicting images which are not real. This recognition is the basis for our release from the dream of separation.

While we seem to be engaged in this dream, we need help to release our investment in loss and pain. This is a process only because we hang on to perceived value of things in the world — bodies, possessions, status and relationships with things.

The practice of forgiveness is the practice of letting go of our investment in the dream and making way for the joy of God’s Love to return to our mind. It seems that we have to forgive many different things. But the differences are not real.

Ultimately we are letting go of our attempts to make illusions real in order to maintain our unique and special status. There is no greater status we could achieve than to acknowledge that we remain eternally held within God’s Love, His joy and peace.

Being a Miracle Worker with the Holy Spirit

I am in need of nothing but the truth.

I sought for many things, and found despair. ²Now do I seek but one, for in that one is all I need, and only what I need. ³All that I sought before I needed not, and did not even want. ⁴My only need I did not recognize. ⁵But now I see that I need only truth. ⁶In that all needs are satisfied, all cravings end, all hopes are finally fulfilled and dreams are gone. ⁷Now have I everything that I could need. ⁸Now have I everything that I could want. ⁹And now at last I find myself at peace.

And for that peace, our Father, we give thanks. ²What we denied ourselves You have restored, and only that is what we really want. (A Course in Miracles, W-251. See also ACIM Lesson 251 Insights.)

Peace is restored to our mind when we accept the truth of What we are. Conflict disappears, for it cannot occur in the oneness of Love. Everyone in the world is seeking peace. We do not experience peace only because we have put the ego wish for specialness in charge of our mind.

We can change that choice. We can let the Holy Spirit be our interpreter of everything we perceive. As we let Him be our Guide, we learn the truth that only Love is real. And because Love is one, we live in peace, forever united with the peace of our Creator.

We dedicate today to putting the Holy Spirit in charge of our mind. He will show us the truth of Love’s reality. He will judge all things on our behalf as either real or unreal, Love or a call for Love. Under His direction, we will live in Love and our misperceptions of lack of Love will be healed. We will be miracle workers as we follow Holy Spirit’s lead.

Awakening to the Love We Are

The Son of God is my Identity.

My Self is holy beyond all the thoughts of holiness of which I now conceive. ²Its shimmering and perfect purity is far more brilliant than is any light that I have ever looked upon. ³Its love is limitless, with an intensity that holds all things within it, in the calm of quiet certainty. ⁴Its strength comes not from burning impulses which move the world, but from the boundless Love of God Himself. ⁵How far beyond this world my Self must be, and yet how near to me and close to God!

Father, You know my true Identity. ²Reveal It now to me who am Your Son, that I may waken to the truth in You, and know that Heaven is restored to me. (A Course in Miracles, W-252. See also ACIM Lesson 252 Insights.)

The Love we are is limitless. It is always perfectly calm in Its oneness and changelessness. This is our natural state. When we ask our Creator to reveal our true Identity to us, we are asking to awaken to the truth.

As we awaken, we let go of all artificial values we have given the world. We have opened our mind to remember our unity with our Creator. We rest in this unity in the certainty of His Love.
