Becoming Vigilant for God’s Love

²My mind holds only what I think with God.

³That is a fact, and represents the truth of What you are and What your Father is. ⁴It is this thought by which the Father gave creation to the Son, establishing the Son as co-creator with Himself. ⁵It is this thought that fully guarantees salvation to the Son. ⁶For in his mind no thoughts can dwell but those his Father shares. ⁷Lack of forgiveness blocks this thought from his awareness. ⁸Yet it is forever true.

²Because [forms] are illusions, they are not perceived to be but what they are; defenses that protect your unforgiving thoughts from being seen and recognized. ³Their purpose is to show you something else, and hold correction off through self-deceptions made to take its place.

²Open your mind, and clear it of all thoughts that would deceive, and let this thought alone engage it fully, and remove the rest:

³My mind holds only what I think with God.

⁴Five minutes with this thought will be enough to set the day along the lines which God appointed, and to place His Mind in charge of all the thoughts you will receive that day.

They will not come from you alone, for they will all be shared with Him. ²And so each one will bring the message of His Love to you, returning messages of yours to Him. ³So will communion with the Lord of Hosts be yours, as He Himself has willed it be. (A Course in Miracles, W-rIV.in.2:2-8;3:2-3;5:2-4;6:1-3)

There are only two orders of thought. The ego-based thoughts make illusions of form as decoys to prevent us from recognizing our real thoughts. The thoughts we share with God are our only real thoughts. They always extend His Love.

As we clear away the decoys the ego made to let our mind focus on the thoughts we share with God, we dwell in peace and happiness. There is no conflict, for Love does not judge. There is no fear because only Love is real. Fear only seems to occur when we believe lack of Love is true.

We dedicate today to welcome God’s Love in our mind. It takes vigilance for Love only because we have established a habit of being vigilant against His Love. We have already established the power we have given to habits.

Now we will use this power to form a habit of vigilance for Love to undo all our habits that stand as barriers against Love’s presence. We are worthy of the effort. God has promised we will succeed because the goal is simply to accept only the truth of His Love.
