Opening Our Minds to God’s Gifts

⁷To feel the Love of God within you is to see the world anew, shining in innocence, alive with hope, and blessed with perfect charity and love.

Simply do this: Be still, and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is; all concepts you have learned about the world; all images you hold about yourself. ²Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy, and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. ³Hold onto nothing.

Is it not He Who knows the way to you? ²You need not know the way to Him. ³Your part is simply to allow all obstacles that you have interposed between the Son and God the Father to be quietly removed forever. ⁴God will do His part in joyful and immediate response. ⁵Ask and receive. ⁶But do not make demands, nor point the road to God by which He should appear to you. ⁷The way to reach Him is merely to let Him be. ⁸For in that way is your reality proclaimed as well.

And so today we do not choose the way in which we go to Him. ²But we do choose to let Him come. ³And with this choice we rest. ⁴And in our quiet hearts and open minds, His Love will blaze its pathway of itself. (A Course in Miracles, W-189.1:7;7:1-3;8:1-9:4. See also ACIM Lesson 189 Insights.)

God has never stopped including His Son in all His Love. We live in His Love. Engaging in a dream of specialness and separation has no effect on our Home within His Love. But while we are in this dream we are unaware of His all encompassing Love.

God calls to us unceasingly to lay aside our wishes for something different, our preferences, our opinions that seem to differentiate us from everyone else. In this dream we do not know that all we really want is to extend the Love of God. This is our true Will.

Today we ask the Holy Spirit’s help to lay down our thoughts of individuality and differences, with open hands to receive God’s gifts. Our true Self shares the peace and joy of God’s Love with the world.
