Willingness to Share Oneness

You who share His life must share it to know it, for sharing is knowing. Blessed are you who learn that to hear the Will of your Father is to know your own. For it is your will to be like Him, Whose Will it is that it be so. God’s Will is that His Son be One, and united with Him in His Oneness. That is why healing is the beginning of the recognition that your will is His. (A Course in Miracles T-11.I.11:5-9)

Judgment is the denial of oneness. Anything that disturbs our peace is a symptom that we are denying the truth of our oneness with Love, our Creator. Denial of Love, which is the denial of Reality can lead to the making of a fantasy world of images of separation. But the fantasy can never be real. This is why our only function is to forgive the world for all we thought it was. It is through forgiveness that we welcome the return of awareness of our oneness with Love.

So today is another day to practice bringing every disturbance of our peace to the Holy Spirit for His kind and gentle correction. With the help of Holy Spirit’s vision, we recognize the fantasy for what it is and freely let it go. This is forgiveness.

Gentleness and Patience

Gentleness and patience come with accepting God’s peace. Because we are one with God, peace is inherent in our Identity. Peace is an attribute of God’s oneness. Today is it my opportunity to practice remembering to accept God’s eternal gift of peace. With this gift of peace comes gentleness and patience. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for Your eternal gifts. I am willing to accept them today.

Patience is natural to those who trust. An illusion cannot be trusted. But the changelessness of Love can be trusted unequivocally.

As I am willing to let the Holy Spirit guide all my seeing, I will look past all the changing images of the world to the changeless certainty of eternal Love that is ever present. In the certainty of this oneness, gentleness is natural, for there is nothing to defend against. My dedication today is to let Holy Spirit guide all my seeing. With His help I will extend the gentleness and patience of Love.

Letting Go and Letting God Brings Peace

Strength is found in peace, not in conflict. Peace is an attribute of the Self that God created, the Self that joins me with All That Is. Conflict can only seem to occur if I believe I am something other than the one Self that God created. When things seem to be wrong in the world, such as a machine not working, the ego perceives that circumstance as in conflict with its image of what should be. This is just an out picturing of the ego’s idea that it is in conflict with God. Fixing the machine may seem to make the circumstance acceptable but the only meaningful correction is to forgive the seeming conflict with God.

When I am willing, the Holy Spirit shows me the mistaken thought that underlies the appearance of conflict. The Holy Spirit offers me the strength of God to support me in letting go of that mistaken idea. This is forgiveness. This is why the practice of offering all perceptions that interfere with peace to the Holy Spirit is so important. With that, willingness to accept Holy Spirit’s loving correction is what allows me to experience the forgiveness that sets me free to be my Self. This is how I let go and let God.

Resting In Holy Spirit

Every day can be a day of rest. Rest does not come from sleep. It comes from remembering that no matter what the body’s senses may show us, what appears to be happening in the world, we remain held firmly within the peace of God. God’s peace was given us in our creation. It is there to be accepted in every moment. It is in this acceptance that we find rest. As we let Holy Spirit be our interpreter in all things today, this will be a day of rest.

Be Willing to Be Taught Today

Let yourself rest in God… Rest in Love… Rest in peace… Rest in joy… This is your natural state, the condition in which you were created.

If you experience anything other than this condition, it is because you are denying your Self. When you recognize you are not in your natural state, it is an opportunity to turn to your inner Teacher with willingness to receive His gentle lessons. They will help you correct your mistaken beliefs that make you unaware of What you are. Nothing more is needed. Nothing else will work. Be willing to be taught today and you will return to perfect happiness.

Our Safety Lies in Our Defenselessness

Today our theme is our defenselessness. We clothe ourselves in it, as we prepare to meet the day. We rise up strong in Christ, and let our weakness disappear, as we remember that His strength abides in us. We will remind ourselves that He remains beside us through the day, and never leaves our weakness unsupported by His strength. We call upon His strength each time we feel the threat of our defenses undermine our certainty of purpose. We will pause a moment, as He tells us, “I am here.” (A Course in MIracles W-pI.153.19)

My practice for today is to be willing to let peace take charge of my mind. I choose the strength of peace instead of the weakness of thoughts that come from fear and conflict. I practice following where peace leads me. I accept my inner Teacher’s help in every circumstance. I realize that my safety lies in my defenselessness. My practice is in each now moment, and I give thanks for the help I receive.

Whenever I feel vulnerable or uncertain, I can call upon the strength of God in me. As I pause to accept this strength, I will feel Its Presence which tells me, “I am here.” What could be more assuring and comforting than to know that the strength of God is in me? As I call upon this strength, the seeming need to defend fades away as I remember that I remain in the safety of God’s Love.
