The Power and Light of Love

Robert:  Last night I woke up with the thought in my mind, “No matter how huge a fear seems to be, it is nothing compared to the power of Love. No matter how dark a fear seems to be, it is nothing compared to the Light of Love.” I repeated those thoughts in my mind, both to myself and to others I thought of. As I was saying it, waves of chills washed over me.

It is this I would remember all through the day. I still seem to walk in the world and there are still appearances that trigger a range of levels of fear in me. Most I would label as small, but it doesn’t matter what I think of them. My job is not to hide from these thoughts and emotions, but to acknowledge that they simply represent a mistaken idea of what I am and they are nothing compared to the strength and Light of Love that I really am.

I experience those fears because I am believing that I am not Love. Being wrapped up in that belief, I need help in letting it go. That is why I must take all those thoughts to the Holy Spirit and open my mind and heart to His correction. If sometimes it seems more difficult to be open to the Holy Spirit, it is only because, on some level I have hidden from myself, I want to believe that I am separate. But I am teachable. I can unlearn what I have taught myself.

There is a gentle, loving and powerful Voice in my mind that offers the gift of peace in every moment. It does not impose it upon me but offers it freely. It takes only my willingness to accept it for me to remember it is mine. Today I will practice my willingness.

Mary: In A Course in Miracles it says, “In quietness is every problem quietly resolved.” This is a very important message to me in my healing process. As I watch my mind and see that I am buying into thoughts that are not truly helpful, I can always return to quietness. In quietness the Holy Spirit comes and reverses the false thinking. I understand that thought reversal is not the job of the ego mind.

The habit of consistently going to a place of quiet truly is a powerful healing habit. At first it takes effort, because the little circular thoughts may still seem to be there. But as I offer them over or put them on God’s Altar, the Light does come and dissolves them with ease. The Light of God really does dissolve every fear thought if I am willing to put that thought on God’s Altar. The result is always peace. If I am willing to stay with that peace, many times I am brought to an even deeper level, where a deep knowing is there that only Love is real and there is nothing to fear. I am learning that I can apply this to every situation I encounter.
