In quiet I receive God’s Word today.
Let this day be a day of stillness and of quiet listening. ²Your Father wills you hear His Word today. ³He calls to you from deep within your mind where He abides. ⁴Hear Him today. ⁵No 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. ²No 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 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. ³He is not led by force, but only love. ⁴He 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. ²We will not judge ourselves today, for what we are can not be judged. ³We stand apart from all the judgments which the world has laid upon the Son of God. ⁴It knows him not. ⁵Today we will not listen to the world, but wait in silence for the Word of God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 125, W-125.1–3. See also ACIM Lesson 125 Insights.)
God’s Voice only seems to be deep within our minds because His presence has been overlaid with layers of the ego’s denial of Love. God’s presence can be covered over with illusions but cannot be eliminated because only His Love is real.
God has given us His Word to guide us through these layers that seem real only because of our belief in them. His Word, the Holy Spirit, teaches us to sort out the false from the true. With His help, we forgive the mistaken beliefs to make way for the Light of Love to shine through.
We welcome Holy Spirit’s guidance by quieting our mind. As we take time to pause and let our mind be quiet, we pass by the ego’s thoughts of fear and guilt to the lessons in Love the Holy Spirit teaches.
When we let Love guide our perceptions, we see a different world. We see past the illusions of division and destruction. We learn that they are deceptions which have no effect on the truth that we, along with every brother, are united in Love. Harm is impossible to the Son of God who remains eternally united with his Creator.
We remember our perfect safety and rest serenely in the peace of God. We bring salvation to the world as we accept the Holy Spirit’s lessons in Love.
