Choosing My Guide

Robert:
Today, like every day, I choose the kind of day that I would have. If I choose the Holy Spirit as my Guide, I choose a day of happiness and peace. If I choose the ego as my guide, I choose dissatisfaction and conflict, guilt and fear. The first choice leads to everything I want. The second leads to nothing, though sometimes nothing can be dressed in appealing images that disguise the emptiness they contain.

Today I choose to let go of self-deception by keeping my mind open to the Holy Spirit’s lead. He will teach me to recognize the images for what they are and to look past them to the Love that is always there and that I am. I choose to have a happy day.

Mary:
Today is another day of opening my mind to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. This requires my willingness to recognize ego thoughts as they come up and hand them over to the Holy Spirit for a corrected perception. I can recognize ego thoughts by the level of tension I feel. As soon as I recognize that I am not in peace, I can turn again to the Holy Spirit, Who will once again correct my perception.

I have such a wonderful Helper right in my mind Who is willing to transform my mind whenever I am willing. My opportunity today is to consistently practice receiving this powerful Help.
