Accepting God’s Peace

Today is filled with opportunities to accept God’s peace, to live in God’s peace. God’s gift of peace is ours in every moment, eternally. If we are not experiencing peace, something has gone wrong in our minds that needs correction. We make way for this correction by bringing every disturbance to the Holy Spirit with willingness to receive His gentle correction.

If we recognize a fear thought, we bring the fear to the Holy Spirit and ask Him to show us the truth of Love beyond the appearance of fear. If we experience guilt, either in ourselves or see it in another, we bring that thought of guilt to the Holy Spirit and ask for help to see the innocence of God’s holy Son beyond the appearance of guilt. If we experience a sense of lack or loss, we bring that thought to the Holy Spirit and ask for His help to see the limitless Love of God that is eternally ours. With this practice we accept God’s peace as ours.

Being God’s Representative

Our purpose in this world is to represent God. We represent God by accepting the Self God created as What we are. This takes consistent vigilance of our thoughts to recognize those that are aligned with the ego, the denial of God. These thoughts we need to bring to the Holy Spirit and ask His help to release and transform them in the service of awakening.

The day seems to be filled with doing. When this doing is done in alignment with Love, it represents God. When the doing comes from identification with separation, it represents the denial of God. There are only these two seeming options.

Because denial is a choice, we are always free to let go of denial, to choose again. It is this process of bringing our thoughts based on denial to the Holy Spirit and accepting His gentle correction that transforms us into God’s representative. We dedicate today to the practice of representing God.

Release from Fear and Hell

Let us be glad that we can walk the world, and find so many chances to perceive another situation where God’s gift can once again be recognized as ours! And thus will all the vestiges of hell, the secret sins and hidden hates be gone. And all the loveliness which they concealed appear like lawns of Heaven to our sight, to lift us high above the thorny roads we travelled on before the Christ appeared. Hear me, my brothers, hear and join with me. (A Course in Miracles, T-31.VIII.9)

Today our practice is to join with Holy Spirit to receive the gift of Christ’s vision. Here we see the world anew. Here we see past images of being vulnerable, weak and guilty. Here we are shown the Light and Love behind these images. Here we are shown the truth of Love’s oneness behind the illusions of separation. Accepting Love’s oneness brings us peace, joy and happiness. This we are willing to accept today.

We Open Our Minds to God Today

As we open our minds to God, we receive His gift of peace… His peace flows like a river through our minds, cleansing our minds of useless thoughts that never meant anything… God’s gift of peace carries us through all the activities of our day, reminding us of what matters and what doesn’t matter…

We stay close to God today in our minds… We value God’s gifts of peace and Love and joy, and extend them to the world… We have a purpose to fulfill and we have all the help we need to let it be done through us today.

Experiencing Joy for No Reason

Joy is available to us in every now moment. It is our natural state. If we are not joyous, it is because we are denying God’s eternal gift to us.

Whenever we judge, whenever we value some form in the world, we are choosing a substitute for God’s gift of joy. Yet a substitute is not the real thing and cannot offer us the reality of God’s joy.

When we think we will feel better if somebody behaves differently, if some circumstance would change to be more of our liking, we are looking to a form in the world to make us happy. Even if we were to obtain these things or circumstances in the world, they cannot last because they are dreams.

As we learn to let the Holy Spirit in our minds show us what lies beyond the forms of the world, the joy of the now moment flows into our heart. We open to God’s gift of joy and we experience the joy that is beyond this world. We realize there is no reason, no form in the world, that is cause for this joy. It is beyond form and everlasting.

Forgiveness reveals this to us by releasing judgment and joining with the Love of God, our true Self. Today we dedicate to joining with Holy Spirit’s vision to see God’s joy everywhere and experience joy for no reason.

Accepting the Light Within Our Minds

The Light of God resides within our minds eternally. Today our practice is to open up and welcome this Light within. The Light within heals the false ideas we accepted in the past. The Light within brings us blessings and extends outward to bless everyone. The Light within brings awareness of our oneness. The Light within is filled with peace and serenity.

Today we focus on the Light within and let It guide our way throughout the day. And a blessed day it will be.

When a mind has only light, it knows only light. Its own radiance shines all around it, and extends out into the darkness of other minds, transforming them into majesty. (A Course in Miracles, T-7.XI.5:1-2)

Being Truly Helpful

Our desire is to be truly helpful. From the perspective of a separate self-identity, we do not know what true helpfulness is. Our limited perception blinds us to how our choices affect everyone. Thus to be truly helpful, we need to be consistently willing, with an open mind, to receive Holy Spirit’s guidance moment by moment.

We start the day with that intention. We maintain an open mind by being vigilant for peace and frequently asking for help to see as the Holy Spirit sees and to respond to our perceptions as the Holy Spirit would respond. This is our practice for today.
