Let this day be a day of stillness and of quiet listening. Your Father wills you hear His Word today. He calls to you from deep within your mind where He abides. Hear Him today. No 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. No 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 [His Voice] 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. He is not led by force, but only love. He 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. We will not judge ourselves today, for what we are can not be judged. We stand apart from all the judgments which the world has laid upon the Son of God. It knows him not. Today we will not listen to the world, but wait in silence for the Word of God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 125, W-pI.125.1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 125 Insights.)
The Course is giving us clear direction for how to let God’s Voice be our Guide. We need to dismiss our petty thoughts and personal desires and let go of all judgments. This is how we still our mind to receive His Word — to be inspired with how to express Love in the world. Love brings peace with It. Love is our salvation because It is our true Self, eternally united with our Source.
The chaos in the world, the anger and attacks, the fear and guilt, comes from believing we lack Love. It is simply a call for Love. That call is answered when we let the Holy Spirit guide us to be His messenger of Love in the world. His guidance comes in forms that are helpful in the present moment and circumstance. It can be as simple as a smile toward someone we pass on the sidewalk. It may be an expression of true forgiveness where we once held judgment that blocked the flow of Love from our hearts. This Guidance will always come when we allow our minds to be still, without expectations, to receive the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
We dedicate today to this practice, trusting that the Holy Spirit will always lead us with Love and patience.
