Forgiveness Brings a Quiet Mind

In quiet I receive God’s Word today.

Let this day be a day of stillness and of quiet listening. ²Your Father wills you hear His Word today. ³He calls to you from deep within your mind where He abides. ⁴Hear Him today. ⁵No peace is possible until His Word is heard around the world; until your mind, in quiet listening, accepts the message that the world must hear to usher in the quiet time of peace.

This world will change through you. ²No other means can save it, for God’s plan is simply this: The Son of God is free to save himself, given the Word of God to be his Guide, forever in his mind and at his side to lead him surely to his Father’s house by his own will, forever free as God’s. ³He is not led by force, but only love. ⁴He is not judged, but only sanctified.

In stillness we will hear God’s Voice today without intrusion of our petty thoughts, without our personal desires, and without all judgment of His holy Word. ²We will not judge ourselves today, for what we are can not be judged. (A Course in Miracles, W-125.1:1–3:2. See also ACIM Lesson 125 Insights.)

It is possible to have a quiet mind all through the day. The natural stillness in our mind is disturbed by our judgments, which come from our wish to be separate from our Source. As we forgive our judgments, our mind becomes more quiet.

Forgiveness welcomes Love’s presence and peace comes with Love. Today we practice bringing every thought that disturbs our peace to the Holy Spirit. We ask for His help to heal our perceptions.

His lessons will teach us to let go of attachments which we thought would bring us what we want. We think they will make us happy or safe. But we are afraid that we will lose them. We are assured that we cannot lose the happiness, safety and certainty of God’s limitless Love. And we are grateful.
