In our reading in A Course in Miracles this morning, this is what stood out:
Today He speaks to you. His Voice awaits your silence, for His Word can not be heard until your mind is quiet a while, and meaningless desires have been stilled. Await His Word in quiet. There is peace within you to be called upon today, to help make ready your most holy mind to hear the Voice for its Creator speak. (W-pI.125.6)
The truth is we are still as God created us. We all have all of God — all Love, which is shared with all. This is Reality, now and forever. The little kingdom I have made up as a “separate person” is really nothing and nowhere. My opportunity today is to allow myself to be led by Love instead of deciding reality on my own. As I am willing to accept God’s peace, the conflicts are dissolved and clarity returns.
This is my practice for today. I would not lead, but only follow and await His Word in quiet. In quiet I remember, “Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.” (ACIM, T-Intro)
Forgiveness is a key ingredient for effective listening to the Word of God. When my mind is preoccupied with judgments, the guidance of Love is shut out. Peace and judgment cannot coexist.
Today I will be mindful of my thoughts and bring each judgment to the Holy Spirit, remembering that I, on my own, do not know what anything means. As I am willing to let Love’s meaning replace the judgment, my mind opens to receive God’s Word, the message of Love. This is how I will open my inner hearing to receive Love’s messages.
