Like a Little Child

Mary:
Today my job is to be like a little child and listen to my Father, my Source. I do not know what is in my best interest and so I need to stop and listen to my inner Teacher. This means being willing to let my mind quiet. I must be willing to let the peace of the Holy Spirit in and from there I can receive clear insight.

The peace I receive softens everything. I rest a while and simply receive the peace in silence… I realize I don’t have to figure anything out and that all that I really need is being provided… From this peaceful state of mind, my present happiness is all I am aware of. I am reminded to let go of the past and the future. I am reminded to focus on choosing peace and all the rest will take care of itself.

This is the powerful lesson the Holy Spirit provides when I am willing to listen: Everything is all right. You are safe in the Mind of God. You are in Heaven now. This is the eternal truth. You become aware of this truth when you are willing to become as a little child and open to eternal peace, Love and joy. Practice this today and every day. Let the past go. As you do this you are able to see the eternal present. This is your practice today.

Robert:
I see myself as a little child playing in a sandbox. I make roads and bridges and imaginary streams. I make streets and houses and I make sounds that imitate the sounds of cars and trucks moving along the roads. I become so involved in my sandbox play that I am completely unaware of anything outside the sandbox.

Then I hear a Voice calling, seemingly far off in the distance. As I become aware of it, I realize that it has been calling for a long time, but I was unaware of it while I was enthralled by my sandbox games. But there is something about this Voice that calls to me beyond the sound. It touches my heart and reminds me of another place which far outshines my little sandbox with indescribable joy and peace.

This Voice becomes more and more compelling, for it reminds me of certainty and safety, of Love beyond words. The attraction of the sandbox fades. The games I played there have lost their appeal. The appeal of this Voice has captured my full attention now. I am willing to let go of childish games and step out of the sandbox into the Light of Home, where I belong.

Here I experience immeasurable gratitude for an unending, unlimited flow of Love that flows into me and through me, extending out everywhere, blessing all always. The sandbox is a distant, faded memory, and now is gone completely. I have now returned to all I ever wanted. I have returned to my Self.
