We Give This Day to Love

A special blessing comes to us today, from Him Who is our Father. Give this day to Him, and there will be no fear today, because the day is given unto love. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.274.2)

To give the day to God is to give the day to Love. Love is changeless, complete and wholly innocent. Love is all that Is and therefore sees only Love.

To give the day to Love is to welcome Christ’s vision and see only Love. Because Love is whole, It knows only perfect safety. When we give the day to Love, we give the day to peace and happiness, for these are attributes of Love. As we give the day to Love, we receive a day of blessing.

Making Way for Peace and Blessing

It appears that today will be a very busy day. This calls for extra vigilance for peace. From the place of peace in our minds we can be guided smoothly and gently through the events of the day so that we are truly helpful in each moment.

We go to the peaceful center of our Being by stepping back from the meaning we might give each moment and letting the Holy Spirit in our minds show us its real meaning and guide us in what to do and what to say. With this practice, this can be a day of ease and blessing.

Each encounter is an opportunity to join with our one Self, Which may appear as another person in our perception. As we live in our center of peace, it will be a day of being Love, joining with Love, bringing joy with It.

Receiving Inspiration from the Holy Spirit

To reinforce Truth in your mind, you must follow the guidance you receive from the Holy Spirit, for He alone knows Truth. You have lost the awareness of It, and banished It even from your memory. He is the link between you and your Creator, between you and your Self. As long as you are lost in the play of illusion, He will never leave you. The Holy Spirit is always available and will give you all the help you need, and can accept, at any time. You need only develop the habit of asking, and be receptive and open, to receive answers.” (From the Christ Mind, pp. 126-127)

We receive inspiration from the Holy Spirit when we make room in our minds to receive it. Our Aware Self is always there ready to make smooth our path. We are on a journey of returning to the Truth. We get waylaid when we think we already know what we are and where we are. The eternal Light within us will lighten our way as we welcome Its healing inspiration.

Today we practice opening up to the Holy Spirit’s insight all through the day. Holy Spirit is our constant Companion, bringing us the Truth and extending It to every brother. This is what today and every day is for.

Remembering Our Life in God

We dedicate this Memorial Day to the remembrance of the Life we live in God. This is the only Life there is. We remember the only Life that is in all things through the practice of letting Holy Spirit be the Interpreter of all our perceptions.

With His help we see past appearances in form to the unity of the Love that joins us all as one. Sadness about the appearance of loss is replaced by the joy of remembering the Love we are and will forever be. Guilt for what we believed had happened is replaced by the awareness that we share the innocence of Love with all our brothers. Instead of dwelling upon the past we focus upon the present and find our joy, our peace, our Love, our Life.

We Rest in Heaven’s Eternal Light Today

Healing, forgiveness, and the glad exchange of all the world of sorrow for a world where sadness cannot enter, are the means by which the Holy Spirit urges you to follow Him. His gentle lessons teach how easily salvation can be yours; how little practice you need undertake to let His laws replace the ones you made to hold yourself a prisoner to death. [Holy Spirit’s] life becomes your own, as you extend the little help He asks in freeing you from everything that ever caused you pain. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.137.9)

Today we rest in God’s healing Light… Today we open to Holy Spirit’s healing thoughts… We let Holy Spirit’s healing Light shine away our misperceptions… His Light shows us the changeless Love beyond all appearances… We allow Holy Spirit to return us to our true Identity, where we belong in eternity.

Accepting Healed Perception

There is a borderland of thought that stands between this world and Heaven. It is not a place, and when you reach it is apart from time. Here is the meeting place where thoughts are brought together; where conflicting values meet and all illusions are laid down beside the truth, where they are judged to be untrue. This borderland is just beyond the gate of Heaven. Here is every thought made pure and wholly simple. Here is sin denied, and everything that is received instead.

[Perception and knowledge] are brought together, and only one continues past the gate where oneness is. Salvation is a borderland where place and time and choice have meaning still, and yet it can be seen that they are temporary, out of place, and every choice has been already made. (A Course in Miracles, T-26.III.2,3:5-6)

The Course tells us that there is no world and that we have never succeeded in separating from our Source, from Love. Yet our experience of the world seems very convincing because we are firmly dedicated to the belief that we are separate, limited to a body and only able to perceive through the body. We are told that the body is the ego’s instrument to limit our perception so that we are only able to perceive “proof” that separation is real, that our mind is separate from other minds, unable to communicate mind to mind.

In this world of limitation the Holy Spirit’s purpose is to teach us that we are unlimited. Because of our dedication to our belief in being separate, we have denied knowledge of oneness so the Holy Spirit must reach to us and help us to soften our investment in separation and isolation.

Forgiveness is the means of loosening our identification with the thought system of being separate. In Oneness, there is no need for forgiveness, for there is nothing to forgive. But the Holy Spirit brings us the illusion of forgiveness to help us let go of the illusions that keeps us locked into the closed thought system of separation.

As we let the Holy Spirit transform our limited perception so that we can see past it, we recognize that the meaning we have given the world can be let go. And so we approach the borderland where we still seem to see forms of separate bodies in time and space but we realize that these are only temporary and that they do not truly limit us. We can lay them down and open our minds to the experience of Love’s oneness without fear and guilt. When we welcome this experience without reservation, the Holy Spirit’s job is done and we remember our Home in Love. Our joy and peace are complete.

We Are Included in God’s Peace

If God’s Will for you is complete peace and joy, unless you experience only this you must be refusing to acknowledge His Will. His Will does not vacillate, being changeless forever. When you are not at peace it can only be because you do not believe you are in Him. Yet He is All in all. His peace is complete, and you must be included in it. (A Course in Miracles, T-8.IV.1:1-5)

We dedicate today to accepting the peace that God has given us… We let ourselves feel the peace that is right there in our minds, waiting for acceptance… We let peace cover all our thoughts with its healing light… We give time to let God’s peace do its healing work… We allow ourselves to feel the peace… the safety… the sense of well being… We know that everything is all right… Fear disappears in the certainty of His peace as we silently remember that we are in God’s peace eternally… We extend God’s peace to include everyone… All this comes to us as we remember that we are included in God’s peace.
