Robert:
Again and again, in many ways, A Course in Miracles tells me that if I want to be happy, I need to let go of all values of the world. When I’m honest with myself, the evidence in my experience is irrefutable that this is true. Yet I seem to so easily fall into mindlessly drifting through the day making judgments about what is valuable and what is not without even noticing. I understand that this is just resistance. The long established habit of identifying myself with a body brings with it the need to see the world as real. Judgment is one of the principle tools of the ego to make the world seem real.
But this is not getting me what I really want. So with gentleness and patience, I need to be persistent in paying attention of when I am falling into judgmental patterns and bring them to the Holy Spirit for His correction. It is worth the effort, for each time I do release my judgments to the Holy Spirit, I experience relief and peace and increased happiness. I am worthy of these gifts because God created me worthy by giving them to me through His creation.
So today is another day to practice; a day to take another step closer to the full experience of the peace of God. Just do it!
Mary:
In our reading in ACIM this morning I was reminded that all of God has been given to everyone. This ideas is opposite to the world’s perception where if someone gains, someone else must lose. I am willing to let go of the idea that anyone could lose. Loss is impossible if all of God has been given to everyone.
My job today is accept what God has given instead of denying it. Accepting God’s gifts means accepting what God knows about every brother. God knows only of the Christ in them and myself. Am I willing to accept God today as God is and see Him in every brother? This what today is for and nothing more.
