Deciding for Heaven

Mary:
In our reading of A Course in Miracles this morning, we were led to read lesson 138, “Heaven is the decision I must make.” The following paragraph really helped me:

Heaven is chosen consciously. The choice cannot be made before alternatives are accurately seen and understood. All that is veiled in shadows must be raised to understanding, to be judged again, this time with Heaven’s help. And all mistakes in judgment that the mind had made before are open to correction, as the truth dismisses them as causeless. Now are they without effects. They cannot be concealed because their nothingness is recognized. (W-pI.138.9)

Today it is my opportunity to look on all things today with Heaven’s help. I choose to look on all my mistakes in judgment and open them to correction. I choose to see the difference between my mistaken thoughts and the real Thoughts the Holy Spirit brings. Heaven is right there in my mind, waiting for me to open the door and give It welcome. The Light has come as I am willing. The correction of my mistaken perceptions is all that time is for. And I give thanks because of the healing and peace it brings.

Robert:
Today I had the thought that the house we are in is a temporary home because it is rented. Immediately the next thought that came in was that this world is a temporary home. I pay the “rent” with belief in separation, guilt and fear. But I already have a Home that is rent free, eternal and filled with Love. I need only accept that I am one with It to know that I am Home eternally. It cannot be temporary because this Home has no time. Today I ask the Holy Spirit to help me recognize when I am paying rent with thoughts of separation and guilt and to see these thoughts as He sees them. With His vision it is easy to make the decision for Heaven, my rent-free, eternal Home.
