Let this day be a day of stillness and of quiet listening. Your Father wills you hear His Word today. He calls to you from deep within your mind where He abides. Hear Him today. No 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. No 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. He is not led by force, but only love. He is not judged, but only sanctified.
Only be quiet. You will need no rule but this, to let your practicing today lift you above the thinking of the world, and free your vision from the body’s eyes. Only be still and listen. You will hear the Word in which the Will of God the Son joins in his Father’s Will, at one with it, with no illusions interposed between the wholly indivisible and true. As every hour passes by today, be still a moment and remind yourself you have a special purpose for this day; in quiet to receive the Word of God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 125, W-pI.125.1-2;9. See also ACIM Lesson 125 Insights.)
Today is traditionally celebrated as the day of Jesus’ birth. Christianity identifies Jesus as Christ. A Course in Miracles teaches us that he is, indeed, Christ, along with all of us as God’s one Son. Christ is the symbol of our one true Self, the Self that remains united with our Creator, forever Love and forever loving.
Christ is reborn each time we let judgments go and accept our true Self as our identity. Christ represents the part of our mind that knows and sees only innocence.
Let this day and every day be dedicated to honor the Christ in everyone. The vision of Christ does not use the body’s eyes. Rather, the vision of Christ sees through the truth in our minds to recognize Christ’s innocence in everyone, everywhere, without limit. This is how we welcome the birth of Christ in us.
