This is a year of joy, in which your listening will increase and peace will grow with its increase. ²The power of holiness and the weakness of attack are both being brought into your awareness. …whenever you listened to His interpretation the results have brought you joy. ⁶Would you prefer the results of your interpretation, considering honestly what they have been? ⁷God wills you better. ⁸Could you not look with greater charity on whom God loves with perfect Love?
⁵Today, let us resolve together to accept the joyful tidings that disaster is not real and that reality is not disaster. ⁶Reality is safe and sure, and wholly kind to everyone and everything. ⁷There is no greater love than to accept this and be glad. ⁸For love asks only that you be happy, and will give you everything that makes for happiness.
You have never given any problem to the Holy Spirit He has not solved for you, nor will you ever do so. ²You have never tried to solve anything yourself and been successful. ³Is it not time you brought these facts together and made sense of them? …⁷This year invest in truth, and let it work in peace. ⁸Have faith in Him Who has faith in you. (A Course in Miracles, T-16.II.7:1-2,5-8;8:5–9:3,7-8. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
It is tempting to believe that the Holy Spirit does not know how to solve our problems in the world. How could He know how to fix a car, or how to find a lost item? This doubt can cause us to ignore the best way to resolve every problem.
But the Holy Spirit knows what will bring us peace and happiness, not based on the world’s standards. The core problem in our mind that lies beneath every perceived problem in the world is an unwillingness to forgive. It manifests in our world as confusion, uncertainty, fear and guilt. We need to move past this way of thinking.
We need to practice stepping back throughout every day to welcome the Holy Spirit’s inspiration and guidance. His help manifests in many ways in our world experience. If we let Him help us forgive and heal our fear-based thoughts, we may observe a worrisome noise in our car disappear. A thought will come into our mind for the next step leading us to find a missing item followed by another step or two that brings us to it. Our days are increasingly peaceful and happy. There is much less efforting and the natural flow of Love and joy increases. It’s worth the practice.
