Accepting God’s Gifts

Robert:
Today we listened to the first meditation, “True Prayer,” from Pathways of Light Course 918: The Power of Prayer and Meditation. It leads to the experience of true prayer, which is the free and full sharing of God’s Love. I can sum it up with this thought, “I love my Father, Who is one with me.” In another Pathways of Light course there is a process called the mindfulness hug. This is a gentle hug during which our attention is fully focused on the experience, letting go of outside distractions. This mindfulness hug can offer a hint of what we would experience if we fully allowed ourselves to share God’s Love.

I had an image in my mind of having a mindfulness hug with God. It helped me more openly feel the Love and appreciation and gratitude that comes with the experience of oneness with God. I also observed that I limited how much I would accept of that Love. It shows me that I have more letting go to do of old fears and guilt that interfere with my awareness of God’s gift of Love.

This experience showed me not only that I have more forgiveness work to do, but also gave me a greater sense of the magnitude of God’s Love that is already mine. I need only accept It to experience It. Thank you Father. I love You.

Mary:
This morning I began my time of quiet listening with seeing myself under Holy Spirit’s shower of peace…. I just stayed there a while, letting in more fully Holy Spirit’s gift of peace…. I felt a little bit fragmented so I asked Holy Spirit to melt away all sense of limitation. I just gave time to accepting Holy Spirit’s peace and letting Holy Spirit melt everything that was not peaceful away…. I did this until I felt immersed in a deep sense of peace….

Allowing myself the time to accept God’s peace is the same as accepting God. Within God’s peace I find joy and happiness and gratitude. It spills over and fills everything. I thank God that I know about the gift of accepting God’s peace and how truly valuable it is in healing my mind of all the false ideas that I sometimes hold on to. What a blessing it is to accept God’s peace. I am reminded to do this frequently today. It feels so good that it seems rather amazing that I need to be reminded. But that is what the Holy Spirit is for — to bring me back to what is truly important and let go of the unimportant. This is how I will have a happy day.
