We Rest in God

As we go through our busy day today, we focus on the idea that we rest in God. This opens a door to the Light of truth that brings peace with it. This remembering helps us not take the world too seriously. We keep the door open to the Holy Spirit and allow ourselves to feel the river of peace flow through us as we walk through our day. We feel safe in God’s Love. We extend God’s Love and peace to everyone. We let ourselves become aware of our oneness with every brother and with our Creator. We let ourselves become aware that we rest in God all through the day. And we give thanks.

Answering the Call to Be at Peace

The sudden expansion of awareness that takes place with your desire for it is the irresistible appeal the holy instant holds. It calls to you to be yourself, within its safe embrace. There are the laws of limit lifted for you, to welcome you to openness of mind and freedom. Come to this place of refuge, where you can be yourself in peace. Not through destruction, not through a breaking out, but merely by a quiet melting in. For peace will join you there, simply because you have been willing to let go the limits you have placed upon love, and joined it where it is and where it led you, in answer to its gentle call to be at peace. (A Course in Miracles, T-18.VI.14:2-7)

Our true Self is always calling us to be at peace. Today we practice answering that call. Today we open up to join with the peace of the Holy Spirit… We let ourselves settle into His stillness, gentleness and Love… We follow Love’s gentle guidance as we go through our day today… We would follow, we would not lead… We are open and receptive to the call to be at peace… and we extend that peace to the whole Sonship, for we remember that we share one Mind…

Easy Does It

This time of year can easily feel rushed and stressful. Life can appear complicated and chaotic. It is in these times when it is most important to join with the peace of the Holy Spirit within. When we do this, we make way for clear Vision that always simplifies.

With Holy Spirit, the cobwebs are cleared away and we remember what really matters. We remember only Love is real. We remember we are safe, and God’s Will is all we really want. We let ourselves be carried instead of trying to solve all the problems that come up on our own. We remember to see the face of Christ beyond all the stories of the world.

Instead of getting wrapped up in the stress of the moment, we remember to soften and move into the mindset of ease and gentleness. In this place of ease, we are kind to ourselves and others. As we remember easy does it, we are returned to our right mind and we give thanks.

Beyond All Differences Is Our Union in Light

Think what a holy relationship can teach! Here is belief in differences undone. Here is the faith in differences shifted to sameness. And here is sight of differences transformed to vision. Reason now can lead you and your brother to the logical conclusion of your union. It must extend, as you extended when you and he joined. It must reach out beyond itself, as you reached out beyond the body, to let you and your brother be joined. And now the sameness that you saw extends and finally removes all sense of differences, so that the sameness that lies beneath them all becomes apparent. Here is the golden circle where you recognize the Son of God. For what is born into a holy relationship can never end.” (A Course in Miracles, T-22.Intro.4)

Our practice for today is to be open to the Light of our unity. We share one Identity that is changeless and eternal. We focus on this today and let the Light within heal all belief in differences. We let the Light within shine away the shadows that make differences seem real. Today we are willing to look past the appearance of differences and welcome the truth in our brothers, who are one with us.

Releasing Belief in Specialness

Forgive the great Creator of the universe, the Source of life, of love and holiness, the perfect Father of a perfect Son, for your illusions of your specialness. Here is the hell you chose to be your home. He chose not this for you. Ask not He enter this. The way is barred to love and to salvation. Yet if you would release your brother from the depths of hell, you have forgiven Him Whose Will it is you rest forever in the arms of peace, in perfect safety, and without the heat and malice of one thought of specialness to mar your rest. Forgive the Holy One the specialness He could not give, and that you made instead. (A Course in Miracles, T-24.III.6)

Today our practice is to release the world from all we thought it was. God could not give specialness and so it is not so. Today we let our minds be cleared of false values that make specialness seem real. Today we are willing to open to the truth that everyone is still as God created them, and nothing has really happened to change God’s one Son. Today we accept the peace that comes with letting belief in specialness go. We open to the Light that is behind the illusions of specialness.

Seeing Beyond Appearances to Perfect Happiness

Our practice today is to let the Holy Spirit guide our seeing to look beyond all appearances to the Light of Love that is really there. Only Love is real, and it is Reality we would see. As we open our vision to the Light of Love, all fear and guilt fade away and we are returned to the perfect happiness of our Home in God. As we do this, we bring our brothers with us, for we are one.

We Are All One with God’s Love

Deep within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate through you and out into the world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it will heal the mind that thought these things were real, and suffered out of its allegiance to them.

You can never be deprived of your perfect holiness because its Source goes with you wherever you go. You can never suffer because the Source of all joy goes with you wherever you go. You can never be alone because the Source of all life goes with you wherever you go. Nothing can destroy your peace of mind because God goes with you wherever you go. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.41.3-4)

This world is a reflection of our belief that we have succeeded in separating from God’s Love. But belief does not change the fact that we are still one with Love. We may have hidden it under layers of illusions of fear and guilt, yet the perfection of God’s Love remains What we are. It can never leave us.

This perfection is revealed to us through forgiveness. The layers of darkness that hide the Light of Love in us are simply judgments, which can be let go. These judgments are the cause of all sense of loneliness, loss, depression, fear and guilt. We let go of these judgments when we are willing to turn them over to the Holy Spirit and receive His help to see beyond them to the perfection that remains as it always has been and always will be. This is our only purpose.

Today we dedicate to the practice of turning over all judgments to the Holy Spirit with willingness to have them be replaced by the Holy Spirit’s single judgment — only perfect Love is real.
