Open your mind, and clear it of all thoughts that would deceive, and let this thought alone engage it fully, and remove the rest:
My mind holds only what I think with God.
…this thought will be enough to set the day along the lines which God appointed, and to place His Mind in charge of all the thoughts you will receive that day.…each [thought] will bring the message of His Love to you, returning messages of yours to Him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 140, W-pI.140.5:2-4;6:2. See also ACIM Lesson 140 Insights.)
The Course tells us that God is Love and nothing else. Therefore God’s Thoughts must be Love and nothing else. God’s Thoughts are the extension of Love. Thus, as His Thought, we must be Love as well. As the Course points out in many places, thoughts do not leave their source. Thus, as God’s Thought of Love, we still remain one with God’s Love. Our only real thoughts must also be thoughts of Love.
In the world it seems that our thoughts are anything but Love. But the thoughts we are aware of are only illusions made from the belief that we have succeeded in separating from God. It is impossible to separate from God, so thoughts based on the belief in being separate must be false. But our belief makes our real thoughts of Love invisible to us. It is our thoughts of separation that we must let go of, or forgive, so we can become aware of the Thoughts of Love we share with God.
Today we ask the Holy Spirit to help us recognize our false thoughts and let them go so that we may remember the joy and peace that comes with being the Love we are.
