Remembering Christ in Everyone Brings Gratitude

We will remember Him throughout the day with thankful hearts and loving thoughts for all who meet with us today. For it is thus that we remember Him. And we will say, that we may be reminded of His Son, our holy Self, the Christ in each of us:

I am as God created me.

Let us declare this truth as often as we can. This is the Word of God that sets you free. This is the key that opens up the gate of Heaven, and that lets you enter in the peace of God and His eternity. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.110.11)

Whenever we truly forgive, we always experience gratitude. Forgiveness clears away the barriers to Love’s presence. Gratitude is an attribute of Love, so when barriers to Love are let go, gratitude is inevitable.

With the practice of reminding ourselves that we are God’s Son and we remain as God created us, we open our hearts to Love’s gratitude. We see our brothers without the clouds of guilt that would hide the Love, and see the Love we are reflected back to us. As we see this magnificent gift in our brother, gratitude is inevitable.

Today our practice is to remind ourselves frequently that we are as God created us. And as we see a brother or think of him, we will also hold the thought, “You are as God created you.” And it will be a day of happy joining.

Following God’s Plan for Happiness

God’s plan for salvation works simply because, by following His direction, you seek for salvation where it is. But if you are to succeed, as God promises you will, you must be willing to seek there only.

Ask Him very specifically:

What would You have me do?
Where would You have me go?
What would You have me say, and to whom? (A Course in Miracles W-pI.71.5:1-2;9:2-5)

This lesson reminds us to pause frequently to pay attention to our inner Teacher, Who knows the way to true and everlasting happiness. Pausing frequently puts out the welcome mat for the Holy Spirit to be heard. It brings us into alignment with the Love, peace and joy of our true Identity as Love and nothing else.

Letting our inner Teacher guide us in what to do, where to go, what to say and to whom is the fast track to happiness and peace. No other way will really work. Making plans of our own for what we think will bring us happiness only delays the experience of God’s limitless joy, His gift to us, His Son. Today’s practice is to remind ourselves to ask these three important questions frequently throughout the day.

Listening to Our Appointed Friend

Each day, and every minute in each day, and every instant that each minute holds, you but relive the single instant when the time of terror took the place of love.… And all of time is but the mad belief that what is over is still here and now.

Who dwells with shadows is alone indeed, and loneliness is not the Will of God. Would you allow one shadow to usurp the throne that God appointed for your Friend, if you but realized its emptiness has left yours empty and unoccupied? Make no illusion friend, for if you do, it can but take the place of Him Whom God has called your Friend. And it is He Who is your only Friend in truth. He brings you gifts that are not of this world, and only He to Whom they have been given can make sure that you receive them. He will place them on your throne, when you make room for Him on His. (A Course in Miracles T-26.V.13:1,4;VI.3)

Here we are reminded that everything in this world of time and separate bodies is but illusion. We are reminded that we have a Friend right there in our minds, waiting to lead us out of illusions to the truth.

Today our practice is to open up and pay attention to the Teacher of God within. Receiving His gifts of peace, joy and Love lifts us up out of the shadows of separation to the oneness of Love’s presence, which is everywhere. Our practice is to make room to receive His gifts today.

Disaster Is Not Real and Reality Is Not Disaster

This year determine not to deny what has been given you by God. Awake and share it, for that is the only reason He has called to you. His Voice has spoken clearly, and yet you have so little faith in what you heard, because you have preferred to place still greater faith in the disaster you have made. Today, let us resolve together to accept the joyful tidings that disaster is not real and that reality is not disaster. Reality is safe and sure, and wholly kind to everyone and everything. There is no greater love than to accept this and be glad. For love asks only that you be happy, and will give you everything that makes for happiness. (A Course in Miracles T-16.II.8:2-8)

Putting faith in the belief in separation from God is the same as putting faith in stories of loss, disaster and death. We know now that we can choose once again, following Holy Spirit’s lead. As we are willing to let go of our faith in disaster, the Holy Spirit teaches us that we are not a body, we are eternal Spirit. And we have been given all of Heaven. We remain one with God.

Our practice for today is to accept what has been given us by God. God has given all of Heaven to everyone, including us. Our joy returns as we accept the truth of Love’s gift to all today. This is how we remember that disaster is not real and reality is not disaster.

Accepting God’s Plan

You may wonder how you can be at peace when, while you are in time, there is so much that must be done before the way to peace is open. Perhaps this seems impossible to you. But ask yourself if it is possible that God would have a plan for your salvation that does not work. Once you accept His plan as the one function that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the Holy Spirit will not arrange for you without your effort. He will go before you making straight your path, and leaving in your way no stones to trip on, and no obstacles to bar your way. Nothing you need will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away before you reach it. You need take thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only purpose that you would fulfill. As that was given you, so will its fulfillment be. God’s guarantee will hold against all obstacles, for it rests on certainty and not contingency. It rests on you. And what can be more certain than a Son of God? (A Course in Miracles T-20.IV.8)

Today our practice is to step back and accept Holy Spirit’s thoughts regarding everyone. The Holy Spirit sees the Christ in every brother. It is this we choose to see with Him today. This is our function.

You Remain at Home in Love

There is a quietness in you that is eternal and cannot be disturbed. It matters not what appears to be happening in the world. This place of eternal quiet is always available to you. It is What you are.

When the activities of the world seem to demand your attention, rest your mind in the quietness within. In this quietness, you see the Light beyond the distracting images and you remember that you remain at Home in Love.

Let this be a day to practice giving your attention to the peace within and let it help you see the truth in everything around you. This is how you forgive the world of all you thought it was.

Heaven Is Found Within

God has not many Sons, but only One. Who can have more, and who be given less?… For more than Heaven can you never have. If Heaven is within, why would you seek for idols that would make of Heaven less, to give you more than God bestowed upon your brother and on you, as one with Him? God gave you all there is. And to be sure you could not lose it, did He also give the same to every living thing as well. And thus is every living thing a part of you, as of Himself. (A Course in Miracles T-29.VIII.9:1-2,5-9)

The world of separation was made to replace God’s oneness. As we learn to go within to find the truth instead of seeking outside ourselves, we find God’s peace. The Holy Spirit is always there in our minds waiting to bring us the awareness that we have never left Heaven.

Today our practice is to go within to find God’s peace and joy, instead of looking outside ourselves for happiness. The truth is that Heaven can only be found within, being What we are and What everyone is. With Holy Spirit’s help we learn to see past the clouds of illusions to the Light that is really there. Heaven is found within.
