Bringing Joy to the World

Creation’s freedom promises my own.

The end of dreams is promised me, because God’s Son is not abandoned by His Love. ²Only in dreams is there a time when he appears to be in prison, and awaits a future freedom, if it be at all. ³Yet in reality his dreams are gone, with truth established in their place. ⁴And now is freedom his already. ⁵Should I wait in chains which have been severed for release, when God is offering me freedom now?

I will accept Your promises today, and give my faith to them. ²My Father loves the Son Whom He created as His Own. ³Would You withhold the gifts You gave to me? (A Course in Miracles,W-279. See also ACIM Lesson 279 Insights.)

Let us free ourselves today by accepting our Fathers gift of all His Love. It is ours to claim, now. We do not need to qualify for His Love; we need only accept It. Today we bring joy to the world by accepting the Love we are and recognizing the Love that is the truth in everyone.

Offering Peace Without Limits

²The world is born again each time you rest, and hourly remember that you came to bring the peace of God into the world, that it might take its rest along with you.

You rest within the peace of God today, and call upon your brothers from your rest to draw them to their rest, along with you. ²You will be faithful to your trust today, forgetting no one, bringing everyone into the boundless circle of your peace, the holy sanctuary where you rest. ³Open the temple doors and let them come from far across the world, and near as well; your distant brothers and your closest friends; bid them all enter here and rest with you.

⁴Time is not the guardian of what we give today. ⁵We give to those unborn and those passed by, to every Thought of God, and to the Mind in which these Thoughts were born and where they rest. ⁶And we remind them of their resting place each time we tell ourselves, “I rest in God.” (A Course in Miracles, W-109.6:2;8;9:4-6. See also ACIM Lesson 109 Insights.)

Peace is our natural state. The ego’s judgments disrupt the peace that we naturally share with all. Today we are called to let go of our judgments. Forgiveness allows the peace we are to embrace all without limit. In this embrace we remember our unity in the Love and peace of God.

When we withhold peace by judging, we imprison ourselves in a dream of limitation, guilt and fear. This need not be. In this season, we are reminded that it is God’s Will for there to be peace on earth.

We are bringers of peace when we accept God’s gift of all of His Love and share It with our brothers without limits of time and space. As we share It, we remember we remain as Love created us.

The Choice for Peace

Peace be to me, the holy Son of God. Peace to my brother, who is one with me. Let all the world be blessed with peace through us.

Father, it is Your peace that I would give, receiving it of You. ²I am Your Son, forever just as You created me, for the Great Rays remain forever still and undisturbed within me. ³I would reach to them in silence and in certainty, for nowhere else can certainty be found. ⁴Peace be to me, and peace to all the world. ⁵In holiness were we created, and in holiness do we remain. ⁶Your Son is like to You in perfect sinlessness. ⁷And with this thought we gladly say “Amen.” (A Course in Miracles, W-360. See also ACIM Lesson 360 Insights.)

If ever we do not feel peaceful, we are denying our Father’s gift. His gift is still ours. It needs only our acceptance for us to bring peace to the world.

We choose peace with willingness to let go of our judgments. We do not know what anything really means. Without Knowledge, we have no basis upon which to judge. But within our mind, the Holy Spirit offers us His singular judgment which sets us free. He sees only the reality of Love. All our other imaginings are dismissed as meaningless, and of no consequence.

Today we choose the Holy Spirit as our Guide. This is the choice for peace, which we bring to the world as our minds are healed.

Bringing Love’s Message to the World

We walk to God. ²Pause and reflect on this. ³Could any way be holier, or more deserving of your effort, of your love and of your full intent? ⁴What way could give you more than everything, or offer less and still content the holy Son of God? ⁵We walk to God. ⁶The truth that walks before us now is one with Him, and leads us to where He has always been. ⁷What way but this could be a path that you would choose instead?

Your feet are safely set upon the road that leads the world to God. ²Look not to ways that seem to lead you elsewhere. ³Dreams are not a worthy guide for you who are God’s Son. ⁴Forget not He has placed His Hand in yours, and given you your brothers in His trust that you are worthy of His trust in you. ⁵He cannot be deceived. ⁶His trust has made your pathway certain and your goal secure. ⁷You will not fail your brothers nor your Self.

And now He asks but that you think of Him a while each day, that He may speak to you and tell you of His Love, reminding you how great His trust; how limitless His Love. ²In your Name and His Own, which are the same, we practice gladly with this thought today:

³I will step back and let Him lead the way, for I would walk along the road to Him. (A Course in Miracles, W-155.12:1–14:3. See also ACIM Lesson 155 Insights.)

We share the name of God because we are extensions of His Love. His Love is extended equally to all without limit. We start the day with quieting our mind to welcome His gift. As we accept It, the Love within inspires us to offer It to everyone. His Love shows us that It is universally in everyone. It shows us the truth that beyond the bodies we perceive in the dream is the unity of Love that can never be broken.

As we let the vision of Love reveal Its presence everywhere, we remember that we remain Love as Love created us. Now is the time to bring this message to the world in our thoughts and actions.

Freedom to Be the Love That Created Us

If I accept that I am prisoner within a body, in a world in which all things that seem to live appear to die, then is my Father prisoner with me. ²And this do I believe, when I maintain the laws the world obeys must I obey; the frailties and the sins which I perceive are real, and cannot be escaped. ³If I am bound in any way, I do not know my Father nor my Self. ⁴And I am lost to all reality. ⁵For truth is free, and what is bound is not a part of truth.

Father, I ask for nothing but the truth. ²I have had many foolish thoughts about myself and my creation, and have brought a dream of fear into my mind. ³Today, I would not dream. ⁴I choose the way to You instead of madness and instead of fear. ⁵For truth is safe, and only love is sure. (A Course in Miracles, W-278.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 278 Insights.)

Love has no limits nor boundaries. It is all encompassing and changeless. It is the foundation of our life. We were created by Love to be Love without limits.

In our dream of a vulnerable body, we can call upon these thoughts to remind us of what we are in truth. The truth in us is invulnerable. It is not subject to whims that seem to change, come and go, leaving us uncertain in every moment about our identity and our future.

Today we let these thoughts help us remember that our life is found in the peace within. The chaos without is not real. We want to remember our true Self, which is Love and nothing else. We want to recognize that Love in everyone and everywhere. As we accept this vision, we are certain of our safety and freedom to be the Love that created us.

The Mission to Be Truly Helpful

Let me recognize my problems have been solved.

²I seem to have problems only because I am misusing time. ³I believe that the problem comes first, and time must elapse before it can be worked out. ⁴I do not see the problem and the answer as simultaneous in their occurrence. ⁵That is because I do not yet realize that God has placed the answer together with the problem, so that they cannot be separated by time. ⁶The Holy Spirit will teach me this, if I will let Him. ⁷And I will understand it is impossible that I could have a problem which has not been solved already.

These forms of the idea will be useful for specific applications:

²I need not wait for this to be resolved.
³The answer to this problem is already given me, if I will accept it.
⁴Time cannot separate this problem from its solution. (A Course in Miracles, W-90.3–4. See also ACIM Lesson 90 Insights.)

In the dream of form, Love is expressed in forms of kindness and helpfulness. When we let our true Self, the Holy Spirit, guide us to be truly helpful, we are helping bring Love into a dream that denies Love.

The practice of asking, “How can I be truly helpful?” can help us be messengers of Love in the world. The Holy Spirit understands that we are dreaming. But He does not believe the dream is real. He is not limited by our self-imposed limitations.

To open our mind to His guidance, we need to connect with the center of peace within to let our mind be quiet and receptive. With this open mind, the Holy Spirit’s guidance is welcomed. He will guide us to bring the healing message of Love in forms that are helpful. This is our mission.

Accepting the Love That Is Our True Self

³There is no relationship between what is real and what you think is real. ⁴Nothing that you think are your real thoughts resemble your real thoughts in any respect. ⁵Nothing that you think you see bears any resemblance to what vision will show you.

You think with the Mind of God. ²Therefore you share your thoughts with Him, as He shares His with you. ³They are the same thoughts, because they are thought by the same Mind. ⁴To share is to make alike, or to make one. ⁵Nor do the thoughts you think with the Mind of God leave your mind, because thoughts do not leave their source. ⁶Therefore, your thoughts are in the Mind of God, as you are. ⁷They are in your mind as well, where He is. ⁸As you are part of His Mind, so are your thoughts part of His Mind.

²We will attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. ³We will deny the world in favor of truth. ⁴We will not let the thoughts of the world hold us back. ⁵We will not let the beliefs of the world tell us that what God would have us do is impossible. ⁶Instead, we will try to recognize that only what God would have us do is possible.

Under all the senseless thoughts and mad ideas with which you have cluttered up your mind are the thoughts that you thought with God in the beginning. ²They are there in your mind now, completely unchanged. ³They will always be in your mind, exactly as they always were. (A Course in Miracles, W-45.1:3–2:8;4:2-6;7:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 45 Insights.)

If we think with the Mind of God, our real thoughts must be thoughts of Love and nothing else. Because all of God’s Thoughts are eternal and our thoughts are one with His, our real thoughts are eternal. Our true Self is Love and nothing else.

While we identify with the body, we have denied our Identity as Love. The thoughts we have with this state of mind are merely hallucinations which have no effect on our real thoughts. We ask the Holy Spirit to help us see the Love that is everywhere around us and in us.

We want to awaken to the Love we are. We want to embrace the Love that is the truth in every brother, no matter what appearances we may perceive. As we accept our loving thoughts, our minds are healed. Peace and joy replace chaos and fear.
