Opening the Door to God’s Light

Only by fulfilling the function given you by God will you be happy. That is because your function is to be happy by using the means by which happiness becomes inevitable. There is no other way. Therefore, every time you choose whether or not to fulfill your function [to forgive], you are really choosing whether or not to be happy. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.64.4)

When we open the door to God’s Light, we are perceiving as the Holy Spirit sees. Light sees only Light. Darkness sees only darkness. When we open the door to the Light, our mind is enlightened and peace, joy and happiness come with it automatically.

We open the door to God’s Light by forgiving. Happiness is the inevitable result of forgiveness, of seeing innocence. If we are not happy, we are not seeing innocence.

Seeing Past Form to Eternal Love

Our practice for today is to be willing to let how we see the world be replaced by the Holy Spirit. When we open to the Light, the Light comes in automatically. So now we focus on opening to the Light, letting go of our barriers against the Light. This is what today is for.

We apply this practice throughout our day. We know that as we consistently open to the Light of Truth, we are able to see the world as the Holy Spirit sees it. We are able to be truly helpful to our awakening and the awakening of the world. It is truly worth the practice. This is what time is for.

Being a Clear Channel for Holy Spirit

Our prayer today:  Help me to perceive as You perceive the world, Holy Spirit. Of myself I do not know what anything means. Believing I am alone blinds me from seeing with Your vision. I am willing to set aside this belief and welcome Your vision, Holy Spirit.

I am willing to follow Your lead in each moment to be Your instrument in all my doing today. I am willing to accept Your strength, knowing that with Your strength I can do anything You guide me to do. I know that following Your lead is the path to joy. This path to joy leads me Home, where I belong and am eternally.

We Receive God’s Gifts as We Go Through the Day

Today we accept God’s joy. Today we accept God’s peace. Today we are willing to be lighthearted and practice opening to the Light of our true Self’s inspiration. Today we practice following Holy Spirit’s lead, instead of deciding anything on our own. Today we devote to returning to God, where we belong in truth. We receive God’s gifts as we go through the day to make our journey simple and filled with peace and joy. And we are thankful for all the Help we receive.

Receiving True Perception

In quietness is [the Light of peace] acknowledged universally. For what your inward vision looks upon is your perception of the universe.

Sit quietly and close your eyes. The light within you is sufficient. It alone has power to give the gift of sight to you. Exclude the outer world, and let your thoughts fly to the peace within. They know the way. For honest thoughts, untainted by the dream of worldly things outside yourself, become the holy messengers of God Himself. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.188.5:6-6:1-6)

True perception is right there in our minds waiting to be accepted. As we are willing to close our eyes and open to the Light within, the Light of our true Self is naturally welcomed into our mind. The distractions disappear and are replaced by peace and clarity. What does not matter is shined away and the insight needed is naturally there, without effort. Simple, uncomplicated Love replaces all the complexity of the world. All this comes when we are willing to accept the true perception of our Self.

The Path to Certainty

Steady our feet, our Father. Let our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be still, and speak to us. We have no words to give to You. We would but listen to Your Word, and make it ours. Lead our practicing as does a father lead a little child along a way he does not understand. Yet does he follow, sure that he is safe because his father leads the way for him.

So do we bring our practicing to You. And if we stumble, You will raise us up. If we forget the way, we count upon Your sure remembering. We wander off, but You will not forget to call us back. Quicken our footsteps now, that we may walk more certainly and quickly unto You. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.Rev.V.2:1-3:5)

We let today be about returning to our Father. Our footsteps are quickened and our way is more sure. We open to the awareness of Love’s Presence as we consistently lay down and pass by what we know does not come from Love.

Our desire to return to Love grows stronger each day. The effect of this consistent decision brings us the peace and happiness that we have always been looking for, but did not know how to find. We are filled with gratitude as we strengthen our one purpose of returning to God. We are on the path to certainty.

Allowing Time to Go to Holy Spirit

The world is filled with endless distractions. They serve the ego’s purpose of making separation and limitation seem real. It seems there is never enough time to do all there is to do.

We are finding that the key to awakening is to strengthen the habit of giving time to Holy Spirit to receive His healed perspective. It is through following His direction that we are able to sort out the valuable from the valueless, what is worth our time and what is just another meaningless distraction.

The Holy Spirit knows what our true purpose is and how to accomplish it. It is only by following His plan that we can be truly helpful to ourselves and others. We dedicate today to pausing to listen in quiet for His inspiration throughout the day. As we give time in quiet to the Holy Spirit, every problem is quietly resolved.
