We Are One in God’s Love

Right now we are one in God’s Love. It is not off in the future. Our Identity is still Love, and that will never change. Our dreams of time and space cannot change our one, true Identity.

It is very helpful for us to return to the truth as frequently as possible as we go through our day. In Truth, we are not separate bodies. We were not born as separate individuals and we do not die. We have not changed ourselves into something that God did not create.

That is why the Course encourages us often to remind ourselves, “God is but Love, and therefore so am I” and “I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.”

The world of separate bodies appears so real to us as we look out though the ego’s mechanism for seeing illusions of separation. To wake up from this dream of separation we are encouraged to return to the truth that we are still eternal Spirit and never could be a weak and vulnerable separate self that suffers and dies. God did not create a world such as this. God is not cruel and would never create a world of guilt, suffering and loss.

In ACIM we are encouraged to remember the truth of our beingness in God. We are eternally safe in God, no matter what dreams we may dream. We are still innocent because nothing has really happened to change God’s one Son. It is helpful to remember this about ourselves and every brother.

The truth is we are eternally one in God’s Love. Opening to the truth frequently as we go through our day lifts us up and carries us past all the fearful stories found in the dream of being separate from God. As we are consistently willing to return to the truth, we are brought to our inner place of peace, happiness and joy. From this place we are grateful that separation could never be real. We are so grateful to find out we could never be separate from God’s Love. We rest eternally in God and we are thankful that this is so.

Let the Holy Spirit Lead the Way

Great peace comes with relinquishing all decisions to the Holy Spirit. Trying to make decisions based on limited information and myopic vision that cannot see the future nor comprehend the effects any decision may have on the world is exhausting and fearful. We try to rely on limited past experiences and research other people’s experiences, but still our decisions bring fear with them, for we know that they are based in uncertainty.

The Holy Spirit has no limitations, being one with God, All That is. To relinquish all our decisions to His infinite Knowledge is to choose the certainty of changelessness. What is changeless is wholly peaceful and invulnerable. The truth in us is changeless.

As we practice letting the Holy Spirit decide all things on our behalf, we open the way to the experience of God’s perfect peace. The strain of trying to be on our own, separate from God, fades away. As we let Holy Spirit lead, we experience His certainty in our minds. We experience the Love that is His message to us, given by God.

Today we practice stepping back and letting Holy Spirit lead the way.

What Do We Really Want?

All we really want is the peace of God. We cannot find it in the world because the world is the denial of our oneness with God. But we have a Guide in our mind Whose purpose is to remind us and lead us back to the awareness that we are eternally in God, in His peace and in His Love.

When we get wrapped up in the activity of the world and blindly follow the automatic responses we have learned in the world, we feel disconnected from God’s peace. To reconnect we need to pause and step back from the activity in our minds. Then relax and ask for the help of our Inner Guide to reconnect with peace and open to the vision that shows us the truth beyond the images we seem to see.

Today our practice is to walk lightly in the world, being mindful of our thoughts and remembering to let our inner Guide be our Interpreter and Leader on the way to God’s peace. This is all we really want.

We Receive and Extend God’s Peace Today

In order to extend the blessings of God’s peace, we must first receive it. Our practice for today is to open our minds to the loving Light of God’s peace and extend it everywhere. This is how we receive God’s blessings and extend it to the world. This is how we can be truly helpful.

As we consistently practice receiving God’s peace all through the day, our perceptions are transformed. We see the world anew through Holy Spirit’s eyes, because with God’s peace comes Holy Spirit’s understanding. Our minds are purified. Along with God’s peace comes gentleness and patience. We remember we are safe and everyone is safe in God’s holy Mind.

We receive and extend God’s peace today.

I Will There Be Light

Our opportunity today is to choose mind healing with the Holy Spirit in charge. The Holy Spirit knows how to heal our minds; we do not. Giving time to the Holy Spirit to use for His purposes is our highest priority today. We do this by letting our mind quiet and being willing to listen to the healing inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

When we truly will with the Holy Spirit, the Light of peace and joy automatically returns to our mind. In truth we are one with the mind of the Holy Spirit. If we do not experience our oneness, it is because we are blocking it from our awareness. We can choose once again, right now, to will there be Light. This is Holy Spirit’s invitation to join with us and bring Its healing perspectives. This is our practice for today.

The Hard Way or the Easy Way

In every moment we choose between the hard way and the easy way. The hard way is choosing the ego’s way, which is the denial of our true Nature. It takes constant vigilance to deny What we are in truth and make believe that we are something else. Yet we have taught ourselves to do this automatically. Because we have taught ourselves so thoroughly, it seems to be the easy choice to make.

The other choice, the only real choice, is to accept our Self as the Love we are. It takes no effort to be What we were created to be. But it takes great vigilance to interrupt the habit of denying What we are. Thus it seems that to accept the Truth is the hard way, but it’s only the need for vigilance against the habit of denial that requires our willingness and our constant attention.

Today our practice is to pay attention, moment by moment, to the Inspiration of our true Self, the Holy Spirit in our mind. With this practice, we will make the choice that leads to the easy, gentle, happy flow of Love.

Accepting Love’s Kindness, Gentleness and Patience

Love’s kindness, gentleness and patience are attributes of the Son of God. Collectively we are the Son of God and naturally share these attributes. If we do not experience being Love, then we have denied the truth of What we are and accepted a false image of ourselves in Its place. This false image is the ego thought system of separation.

To return to our natural attributes as God’s Son, we need to seek out all the false images, the fear, the guilt, that hide the truth from our awareness. As we become aware of these false ideas, we need to bring them to the Holy Spirit Who, with kindness, gentleness and patience, will help us release the false images and lift the veil that hides Love from our awareness.

Each time we experience defensiveness, we have an opportunity to heal our minds from the illusion of being alone and separate and to accept that we remain Love as Love created us. This is the practice of forgiveness. This is how we accept Love’s kindness, gentleness and patience. This is our practice for today.
