Letting the Holy Spirit’s Blessings Extend Through Us

Today we receive the gifts the Holy Spirit has for us. Our minds are open and receptive. We receive the peace the Holy Spirit gives and extend it to the world. The Holy Spirit sees the Christ in us, and we in turn see the Christ in every brother we meet or even think of. The blessings we receive we give.

What a happy opportunity we have today to practice receiving Holy Spirit’s gifts and keeping them by giving them to all.

Accepting Changeless Love

We accept the Light of truth today… We let ourselves be lifted up above the illusions of the world… We are willing to let go of the past and the future, as we open to the awareness of the eternal now… We rest a while in the certainty of Love’s Presence…

We feel like the prodigal son who is now willing to return to his father’s protection and abundance… We no longer want to wander in chaos and uncertainty… We have one purpose and that is to accept the changeless Love of our Father and extend It to the world…

We maintain our awareness of Love’s Presence as we go through our day by remembering to step back frequently to receive and follow the Inspiration that leads us Home.

Finding Changeless Love Within

The changelessness of Heaven is in you, so deep within that nothing in this world but passes by, unnoticed and unseen. The still infinity of endless peace surrounds you gently in its soft embrace, so strong and quiet, tranquil in the might of its Creator, nothing can intrude upon the sacred Son of God within.

Nothing is asked of you but to accept the changeless and eternal that abide in [your brother], for your Identity is there. The peace in you can but be found in him. And every thought of love you offer him but brings you nearer to your wakening to peace eternal and to endless joy. (A Course in Miracles T-29.V.2:3-4;3:3-5)

Everyone in the world is looking for Love. The ego directs us to look in all the wrong places. It cannot be found outside of us. We do not need to go anywhere to find Love. We already have it deep within us in a state of peace that cannot be disturbed. Because Love always joins and shares Itself, we need to learn to see that changeless Love as the truth in our brother. As we accept that Love in him and join with It, we find our own Identity.

We cannot see the Love in him as long as we judge our brother because that judgment comes with seeing him as separate from us. The Love we are is not separate, but one with all Reality. This is why the practice of bringing every grievance, every thought of fear or guilt to the Holy Spirit is how we uncover the changeless Love within.

Today we ask our dear Friend, the Holy Spirit, to help us let go of the interferences so that we may recognize the changeless Love within our brother and ourselves.

Accepting the Certainty of God’s Peace

It is quite possible to listen to God’s Voice all through the day without interrupting your regular activities in any way. The part of your mind in which truth abides is in constant communication with God, whether you are aware of it or not.

The part that is listening to the Voice for God is calm, always at rest and wholly certain. It is really the only part there is. The other part is a wild illusion, frantic and distraught, but without reality of any kind. Try today not to listen to it. Try to identify with the part of your mind where stillness and peace reign forever. Try to hear God’s Voice call to you lovingly, reminding you that your Creator has not forgotten His Son. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.49.1:1-2;2)

Today we are willing to let go of the barriers to receiving God’s peace… Today we open to letting in the awareness of Love’s presence… We give today to God… We open to receive Love’s calmness and peace… We follow where Love leads us… We remember we are safe at Home in Heaven, along with every brother… With the certainty of God’s peace, we embrace every brother in the joy of Love… We know that everyone is our Friend… We see with the Light of Love, and the vision of our Self is reflected back to us.

Finding Our Way Out of Limitation

…Let us follow One Who knows the way. We need not tarry, and we cannot stray except an instant from His loving Hand. We walk together, for we follow Him. And it is He Who makes the ending sure, and guarantees a safe returning home. (A Course in Miracles W-pII.324.2)

The ego could not find its way out of a paper bag because it made up the idea of a paper bag and insists it is real. Clearly, it is not productive to turn to the ego for help in getting out of the limiting bag of belief in separation and isolation. But we have right in the bag with us the Holy Spirit, Who knows the way out.

If we want out, we just need to follow the One Who knows the way. It is always our choice. Do we want limitation and isolation? Or do we want freedom and the joy of remembering our oneness with all our brothers and our Creator? Our practice today is to give our attention to the One who knows the way to freedom, joy and peace.

Our Mission with Holy Spirit

We have a mission here. We did not come to reinforce the madness that we once believed in. Let us not forget the goal that we accepted. It is more than just our happiness alone we came to gain. What we accept as what we are proclaims what everyone must be, along with us. Fail not your brothers, or you fail yourself. Look lovingly on them, that they may know that they are part of you, and you of them. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.139.9)

Our mission is to be the Love we are. Having denied that we are Love and nothing else, we need the Holy Spirit to help us let go of the denial and return to full acceptance of the loving Self that Love created us to be. Our dedication today is to hold our minds open to the Holy Spirit’s vision of everything we perceive as we go through the day.

As we accept His vision, we let go of the denial of What we are. The things we have valued in the world lose their appeal and we gratefully lay them aside. What then shines through is the Light of Love in all our brothers and we see it reflected back to us. We feel the joy of a “family reunion” as we reunite with all our brothers in God’s Family of Love. When we have let go of all values of anything in the world, our mission is complete in joyous celebration of our Love.

Today We Let Holy Spirit Purify Our Thoughts

…We watch our thoughts, appealing silently to Him Who sees the elements of truth in them. Let Him evaluate each thought that comes to mind, remove the elements of dreams, and give them back again as clean ideas that do not contradict the Will of God.

Give Him your thoughts, and He will give them back as miracles which joyously proclaim the wholeness and the happiness God wills His Son, as proof of His eternal Love. And as each thought is thus transformed, it takes on healing power from the Mind which saw the truth in it, and failed to be deceived by what was falsely added. All the threads of fantasy are gone. And what remains is unified into a perfect Thought that offers its perfection everywhere.” (A Course in Miracles W-pI.151.13:3-4;14)

The seeming difficulty in receiving Holy Spirit’s guidance is merely the effect of preferring the images in the dream to the unity of Love, our true Self. The forms of the world still seem to offer something of value to us. This is a self-deception that keeps us in fear and guilt, for it is the denial of our Creator.

Fortunately, we were given the means to help us recognize that in truth there is no value in any form of the world. What is illusion can have no value. The practice of watching our thoughts and asking Holy Spirit to reinterpret all our perceptions is how we learn to sort the valuable from the valueless. On our own this is impossible, but with willingness to receive Holy Spirit’s help, we can indeed learn to see with Christ’s vision which sees value only in the Love that is the truth in everyone and all things.

Initially it may seem that our appeals for Holy Spirit’s help are halfhearted and that it is difficult to see beyond the forms in the world. But the Holy Spirit accepts our little willingness and uses it on our behalf to bring us His vision. With vigilance and practice, it becomes easier and easier to let the truth of Love shine through and disregard the made up images that have diminishing value to us. With this practice we progressively experience greater peace and happiness. It is worth the effort.
