Accepting God’s Light in Our Minds

God is perfect Love and we are extensions of His Love. Only Love exists and any wild imaginings that we are different or separate from God’s Love are false.

Today our practice is to remind ourselves frequently that everyone rests in God’s Love, along with us, and God’s gifts are given equally to everyone. We are all totally immersed in God’s Love and we are one with that Love. Today we would focus on this Truth and let It enlighten our minds and shine away all our false ideas.

Accepting the Peace of God

The peace of God is shining in you now, and from your heart extends around the world. It pauses to caress each living thing, and leaves a blessing with it that remains forever and forever. What it gives must be eternal. It removes all thoughts of the ephemeral and valueless. It brings renewal to all tired hearts, and lights all vision as it passes by. All of its gifts are given everyone, and everyone unites in giving thanks to you who give, and you who have received. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.188.3.)

What greater gift can we receive and give than to accept God’s peace? The holiday season can be stressful or peaceful. It is our choice.

Our practice for today is to remember first to accept the peace of God, and then follow in the way peace leads us. Accepting God’s peace puts us in the flow of inspiration from the Holy Spirit. We can make this a joyous holiday season by making accepting God’s peace our highest priority.

As we accept peace, we naturally extend it, because God’s gift of peace cannot be limited. What a beautiful gift it is to extend peace to everyone we meet or even think of. This is how we have a happy, joyous day.

Simple, Uncomplicated Love

Today is a day of opening to Holy Spirit’s perspective… Today is a day of receiving Holy Spirit’s gifts of peace and Love… Today is a day of letting Holy Spirit remind us of the truth behind images of separation… As we practice this today, we are reminded of Holy Spirit’s simple, uncomplicated Love… As we let Love carry us, we learn our lessons of forgiveness all through the day.

We Are Joined in God’s Wholeness

We are the joint will of the Sonship, whose Wholeness is for all. We begin the journey back by setting out together, and gather in our brothers as we continue together. Every gain in our strength is offered for all, so they too can lay aside their weakness and add their strength to us. God’s welcome waits for us all, and He will welcome us as I am welcoming you. Forget not the Kingdom of God for anything the world has to offer. (A Course in Miracles, T-8.VI.1.)

We accept every brother’s wholeness in God as we remember that they are joined with us in the one Christ Mind. Because we all share the same Mind, and we are only Mind, not bodies, there can be no division between us. Because we share one Mind in truth, all sense of conflict and division is illusion and illusions mean nothing.

Our practice for today is to let this truth sink in deeply and apply it to every situation we encounter through the day. We are joined in God’s wholeness. That recognition as we go through the day changes how we see ourselves and how we see everyone in this world. God’s Kingdom is for all. All that is real is in God’s Kingdom. That is why the Course reminds us that “Nothing real [God’s Kingdom] can be threatened. Nothing unreal [differences, conflict] exists. Herein lies the peace of God.” We do not have to believe we are threatened by what is unreal. Only Love is real. Only Love heals. Nothing else exists. For this we give thanks. Learning this is what today is for.

Only Your Will, Holy Spirit

This is our prayer for today:
Holy Spirit, we would not decide on our own what anything means in this world. We open to Your inspiration, Holy Spirit, and only want Your will be done. We remember Your will is our will.

We ask for Your clarity and Light to guide our way today. We choose peace and follow in the way You lead us. We are grateful we have You as our inner Teacher Who is right here, waiting to bring Light to every situation. And for this we give thanks.

Learning to Recognize True Value

When you are still an instant, when the world recedes from you, when valueless ideas cease to have value in your restless mind, then will you hear His Voice. So poignantly He calls to you that you will not resist Him longer. In that instant He will take you to His home, and you will stay with Him in perfect stillness, silent and at peace, beyond all words, untouched by fear and doubt, sublimely certain that you are at home. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.182.8)

All we really want is the Love of God. We already have It but don’t know It because we are valuing a wish to be separate with our own unique identity. We are trying to be what we could never be in truth. We cannot know Love while we believe we are separate.

The world we perceive is an outward picture of an inner wish to be special. This picture stands between us and the awareness of the Love we are. The way to see past this interference is to let the Holy Spirit be our Interpreter in every moment. While we insist on the meaning that we give to what we see, we are not open to the Holy Spirit’s interpretation.

As the early workbook lesson teaches us, we do not know what anything means. Reminding ourselves of this frequently helps us loosen the values we give to the valueless images of the world. It opens our minds to receive the Holy Spirit’s interpretation in place of the interpretations we have made based on our mistaken values.

Today our practice is to ask of everything, “What is this for?” With an open mind, we let the Holy Spirit teach us what is valuable and what is not. This clears the way for us to recognize that we already have the Love we seek.

Willingness to Behold the Christ

One brother is all brothers. Every mind contains all minds, for every mind is one.

Give me your blessing, holy Son of God. I would behold you with the eyes of Christ, and see my perfect sinlessness in you.

Behold him now, whom you have seen as merely flesh and bone, and recognize that Christ has come to you. Today’s idea is your safe escape from anger and from fear.” (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.161.4:1-2;11:7-8;12:3-4)

It is quite a blessing to remember that one brother is all brothers and that every mind is one. As we remember this we are so blessed because it returns us to our one true Identity.

Today we would be good to ourselves; we will be kind and gentle as we allow ourselves to be showered with the blessings that come with remembering the truth. Our practice for today is to apply this to every brother we meet or even think of — one brother is all brothers, for every mind is one. This person we have thought of as a separate individual now becomes our healing partner in helping us awaken from dreams of separation. Oh what joy comes as we allow ourselves to return to the truth.
