Returning to Limitless Love

Let [the Holy Spirit] be Judge as well of everything that seems to happen to you in this world. His lessons will enable you to bridge the gap between illusions and the truth.

Let Him evaluate each thought that comes to mind, remove the elements of dreams, and give them back again as clean ideas that do not contradict the Will of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.151.9:6-7;13:4)

The world is a school. We are always learning. What we learn in this school depends on which teacher we choose. When we choose the ego as our teacher, we learn to identify with a false image of our self that defines us as separate. The ego is vigilant with this lesson, for its seeming existence depends on us learning it and not questioning it.

We always have the option to choose the Holy Spirit as our Teacher. Its curriculum is the opposite of the ego’s curriculum. It has only one goal — to bring us back to the acceptance that we remain Love, at one in Love, as Love created us. This Teacher’s lessons are adapted in form so that we are able to receive the lesson and accept it. This Teacher in ingenious, for It knows how to start from the lessons we have learned from the ego and reinterpret them to clear away the false ideas, like cleaning a dirty window so that we can see the Love that is everywhere to be seen.

Today our prayer is to open our hearts and minds to the Holy Spirit’s loving lessons that would free us from the mistaken lessons of limitation and return us to the awareness of being limitless Love.

How to Have a Happy Day

There are no laws but God’s. …God’s laws forever give and never take.

Hear Him Who tells you this, and realize how foolish are the “laws” you thought upheld the world you thought you saw. Then listen further. He will tell you more. About the Love your Father has for you. About the endless joy He offers you.

Let us today open God’s channels to Him, and let His Will extend through us to Him. Thus is creation endlessly increased. His Voice will speak of this to us, as well as of the joys of Heaven which His laws keep limitless forever. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.76.9:1,6;10:1-5;11:1-3)

When we believe we are a body, we believe our “life” depends on obeying the laws of the body, the laws of the world of separation. The laws of God apply to us but do not apply to the body because we are not a body. When our peace is disturbed, when we feel upset or threatened, it is because we are identifying with the false image of a body as what we are.

Affirming that we are under no laws but God’s is reminding ourselves that we are not a body. We are still as Love created us — forever Love, forever loving. Accepting that we are under no laws but God’s is accepting that we are nothing but Love, and being Love, all we really want is to extend Love. By It’s nature, Love always extends Itself. Being fear’s opposite, Love is always the antidote to fear. Because Love has no opposite, when we accept the Love we are, fear disappears.

Today our practice is to be vigilant for perceptions of fear and remind ourselves that we are under no laws but God’s. We follow that reminder with willingness to accept the Love that God has already given us. With that acceptance, the joy of Love comes with it. With this practice, today will be a happy day indeed.

Let Go and Let God

Today we practice letting go of all we think we know. Today we practice handing every apprehension, every concern, every form of suffering over to the Holy Spirit… We open to the Light of our inner wholeness, our inner holiness… We stop and listen… We let our thoughts be carried to a greater awareness of what we are and where we are in truth… We let ourselves be reminded that we are still as God created us… We are still God’s pure Love… We are still God’s pure peace… We are still God’s pure happiness… We are one with all that God is…

We relax deeply and breathe in this truth about ourselves… We are all that God treasures… We are Love and loving… We look through the eyes of Love and see that beyond all the stories of separation, the truth is that changeless Love is all there is to see… It sinks in deeper that the Love of God is all there really is to see… Stories of separation could never be real… Nothing could ever really happen to change God’s one Son…

We are returned to the truth as we follow our practice of letting go and letting God. For this we are eternally grateful.

Choosing the Strength of Christ

You always choose between your weakness and the strength of Christ in you. And what you choose is what you think is real. Simply by never using weakness to direct your actions, you have given it no power. And the light of Christ in you is given charge of everything you do. For you have brought your weakness unto Him, and He has given you His strength instead. (A Course in Miracles, T-31.VIII.2:3-7)

The vision of Christ sees only innocence, because it is looking from the foundation of Christ’s innocence. Seeing only innocence, there is no judgment, no condemnation.

The ego uses the sword of judgment to sever our awareness of the unity we share with all that is. If we want to know the strength of Christ, we must lay down our judgments. When we do this, we lift the dark veil that hides the vision of innocence and denies the strength of Christ in us.

Today we dedicate to bringing all our judgments to the Christ within with willingness to let the Light of Christ shine them away. With this willingness we open our minds to receive Christ’s vision. As we see with Christ’s vision, the Light and strength of Christ are reflected back to us and we remember Christ’s strength and Light are ours. With this practice, this will be a blessed day indeed.

Returning to Our Sanctity in God

Christ’s vision is the bridge between the worlds. And in its power can you safely trust to carry you from this world into one made holy by forgiveness.…

This is the Holy Spirit’s single gift; the treasure house to which you can appeal with perfect certainty for all the things that can contribute to your happiness.

Christ has dreamed the dream of a forgiven world. It is His gift, whereby a sweet transition can be made from death to life; from hopelessness to hope. Let us an instant dream with Him. His dream awakens us to truth. His vision gives the means for a return to our unlost and everlasting sanctity in God. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.159.5:1-2;6:1;10:4-8)

Today our practice is to open to the truth of Christ’s vision… As we let go of our hold on the world and open to the holiness of Christ’s vision, we are able to see the truth about everyone… We are open to seeing the forgiven world, where guilt has no part… With Christ’s vision we are able to see past the false ideas of separate bodies… We are carried to the truth of our unity with God… We return to the truth that we are all united in God’s one holy Mind… In truth we remain as God created us eternally… In this remembering we are filled with the peace and Love of God… And we are so grateful that this is so.

Residing in God’s Peace

Our acceptance of God’s peace becomes like a filter, clearing out false ideas… The acceptance of the beingness of peace brings Inspiration with it… We allow time to let it fill our minds…

We let ourselves feel the gratitude and joy that comes with accepting God’s peace… We let our day be filled with joy and happiness as residing in God’s peace becomes our highest priority.

Being Reflections of Love in the World

Holy Spirit, there seems to be much to do in the world. We are willing to lay down our own ideas and expectations of what needs to be done.

We ask Your help to abide in the center of peace within in all our busy doing. Guide us that we may be Your hands, your feet, your voice in all that we do. We would make no decisions on our own. We trust that You will direct us in the way of Love so that we will bring only reflections of Love to the world. We give thanks.
