The Power of God Supports Us

Remember that you always choose between truth and illusion; between the real Atonement that would heal and the ego’s “atonement” that would destroy. The power of God and all His Love, without limit, will support you as you seek only your place in the plan of Atonement arising from His Love. Be an ally of God and not the ego in seeking how Atonement can come to you. His help suffices, for His Messenger understands how to restore the Kingdom to you, and to place all your investment in salvation in your relationship with Him. (A Course in Miracles, T-16.VII.10. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

The Holy Spirit, God’s Messenger, is all the help we need to let go of the illusion of hell and return to our Home in Heaven. When we try to resolve perceived problems on our own, we are denying the only help that will really set us free.

We are never alone. We always have the gift of God’s Messenger available to us to lead us to freedom from the illusion of separation, isolation and weakness. The Holy Spirit brings us all of God’s strength. There is no substitute. The practice of daily opening to the Holy Spirit’s lead and following His inspiration is our path to freedom. It is our path to perfect peace, quiet joy and limitless Love.

Holy Spirit, guide our thoughts today. Direct our feet and hands and inspire our words, that we may act from the Love we are and offer that Love to all our brothers, free of illusions of the past. Amen.

Learning to Extend Peace in Every Situation

Peace of mind is clearly an internal matter. It must begin with your own thoughts, and then extend outward. It is from your peace of mind that a peaceful perception of the world arises. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 34, W-pI.34.1:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 34 Insights.)

Today we practice opening our mind to the presence of Holy Spirit’s peace… We open to letting peace lead the way… We let ourselves see the world, with all its problems, in the Light of Holy Spirit’s peace… We let a feeling of gentleness and kindness fill our mind…

We choose peace to see the world through the Holy Spirit’s peaceful vision. We ask for inspiration to help us see past disturbing perceptions, personalities or events… With His help we will learn to accept and extend peace in every situation. This is our practice for today.

We Welcome God’s Blessing Through Forgiveness

You are the spirit lovingly endowed with all your Father’s Love and peace and joy. You are the spirit which completes Himself, and shares His function as Creator. He is with you always, as you are with Him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 97, W-pI.97.2:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 97 Insights.)

We share God’s function as Creator by extending God’s gift of Love. The Course tells us that only Love creates and only like Itself. Because the world of separation is the denial of Love, Love is reflected in the world by letting go of the denial of Love through forgiveness.

Each time we let go of a judgment, we open the door for greater flow of God’s Love. As we let Love in through forgiveness, we experience Love’s blessing. The gratitude It engenders inspires us to extend It. We become part of the channel of Love that can heal the world of lack of Love.

Today is another day to welcome God’s blessing through the practice of forgiveness — accepting Holy Spirit’s vision of innocence in place of our misperceptions.

Returning to the Love We Are

Why wait for Heaven? It is here today. Time is the great illusion it is past or in the future. Yet this cannot be, if it is where God wills His Son to be. How could the Will of God be in the past, or yet to happen? What He wills is now, without a past and wholly futureless. It is as far removed from time as is a tiny candle from a distant star, or what you chose from what you really want.

Heaven remains your one alternative to this strange world you made and all its ways; its shifting patterns and uncertain goals, its painful pleasures and its tragic joys. God made no contradictions. What denies its own existence and attacks itself is not of Him. He did not make two minds, with Heaven as the glad effect of one, and earth the other’s sorry outcome which is Heaven’s opposite in every way.” (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 131, W-pI.131.6-7. See also ACIM Lesson 131 Insights.)

Heaven is Love. As we open our minds to the peace, joy and all-inclusive oneness of God’s Love, we are opening to Heaven. It has not left our minds. We have just been denying Its Presence. We open to the truth today. It is there, waiting for our return to the Love we are.

Accepting Holy Spirit’s Purpose as Our Own

You look still with the body’s eyes, and they can see but thorns. Yet you have asked for and received another sight. Those who accept the Holy Spirit’s purpose as their own share also His vision.… He sees no strangers; only dearly loved and loving friends. He sees no thorns but only lilies, gleaming in the gentle glow of peace that shines on everything He looks upon and loves.

You have the vision now to look past all illusions. It has been given you to see no thorns, no strangers and no obstacles to peace. The fear of God is nothing to you now. Who is afraid to look upon illusions, knowing his savior stands beside him? With him, your vision has become the greatest power for the undoing of illusion that God Himself could give. (A Course in Miracles, T-20.II.5:1-3,5-6;7:1-5. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

We want to let go of the fear and depression that come with joining with the ego’s thought system. We know too much to still want the ego’s artificial values — seeking for specialness and uniqueness instead of Love’s oneness. We know that seeking for these things only brings disappointment, sorrow and pain in the end.

We want Holy Spirit’s vision instead of the separation and differences the body’s eyes show us. We want to see innocence instead of the guilt we once sought to project onto others to alleviate our own guilt. With Holy Spirit, we are now able to see past all appearances of differences to the presence of Love that is behind all illusions. As we join with Holy Spirit’s purpose, we share the Love from the Holy Spirit with every brother.

We Are at Home in Heaven Now

The Atonement is in time, but not for time. Being in you, it is eternal. What holds remembrance of God cannot be bound by time. No more are you. For unless God is bound, you cannot be. An instant offered to the Holy Spirit is offered to God on your behalf, and in that instant you will awaken gently in Him. In the blessed instant you will let go all your past learning, and the Holy Spirit will quickly offer you the whole lesson of peace. What can take time, when all the obstacles to learning [peace] have been removed? Truth is so far beyond time that all of it happens at once. For as it was created one, so its oneness depends not on time at all. (A Course in Miracles, T-15.II.1. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

Time is the ego’s prime tool for hiding the present from our awareness. By dwelling on the past and using it as the basis for fear of the future, we are unaware of the joyful and peaceful present.

Yet the Holy Spirit is ever present in our mind, ready and able to offer us the holy instant now. We need only be willing to lay the past aside and the holy present will fill our awareness, and the holy present extends forever. In the present, fear of the future does not exist, for there is no thought of future or past.

To open the door to the present, the Holy Spirit offers us the gift of forgiveness, which frees us from the past. Clean of the past, the wholeness and innocence of our brothers and ourselves fills our awareness. Without guilt, there is no fear. Without fear we are in perfect peace.

Today We Accept the Truth About Ourselves

We have a mission here. We did not come to reinforce the madness that we once believed in. Let us not forget the goal that we accepted. It is more than just our happiness alone we came to gain. What we accept as what we are proclaims what everyone must be, along with us. Fail not your brothers, or you fail yourself. Look lovingly on them, that they may know that they are part of you, and you of them.

This does Atonement teach, and demonstrates the Oneness of God’s Son is unassailed by his belief he knows not what he is. Today accept Atonement, not to change reality, but merely to accept the truth about yourself, and go your way rejoicing in the endless Love of God. It is but this that we are asked to do. It is but this that we will do today. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 139, W-pI.139.9-10. See also ACIM Lesson 139 Insights.)

Today we practice accepting the truth about ourselves. Today we accept the truth that we are one with the Mind of God. The Mind of God knows only oneness. The Mind of God is pure, unified, universal Love. We are the Thought of Love in the Mind of Love.

We accept the truth that we are not separate from our Source. We are not a separate body with a separate mind that thinks on its own. We are not special and unique, different from everyone else in the world of differences. As we let go of the false ideas of being separate and alone we have held in the past and open to the truth, we receive the miracle of true perception. We receive the peace, Love and joy that come from our true Nature. Because our true Nature is eternal, It does not come and go. It is always there as we return to the truth of What we really are.

Today we practice letting go of the madness we once believed in, which leaves room for the truth of our true Nature to enter. Today we practice accepting that we are still as God created us. We see this truth about every brother as we accept Love’s oneness.
