Let Love Decide

Mary:  In this morning’s reading of the ACIM Text, the message that I needed to hear the most was, “Let Love decide.” What that means to me right now is to practice letting Love decide if any of the thoughts that come into my mind are true. I have had the habit of believing that the ego’s world of separation is real. As I let Love decide, I will be brought to the truth.

In reality, there are no differences among illusions. They are equally untrue. Remembering this helps me not take the world so seriously. Remembering this helps me be open minded enough to let in Holy Spirit’s healing Light, which dissolves all that is not true. Remembering this helps me stay light hearted instead of heavy hearted.

Let Love decide. That is my mantra today. No matter what appears to show up in the dream, let Love decide. That is my touchstone to return to again and again today. When I let Love decide, I will have a happy day. In truth I, as a separate person, know nothing and am nothing. But, as I practice letting Love decide, I am opened to the truth about myself and everyone. I find out what true justice means. This is my part in the Atonement. As I let Love decide, I am awakened from the dream.

Robert: The temptation seems so strong to attempt to plan on my own, to make my to do lists without regard to how Holy Spirit may guide me. There appears to be plenty of things to plan. I think I know what would make me happy or at least more comfortable. But I am reminded how little I can perceive through the body’s senses.

Honestly, I have no clue what will happen today. I can make plans, but one phone call could make my plans useless or impossible to complete. I know from experience that my day is so much more peaceful and fulfilling when I step back and let Holy Spirit take the lead. It may be that all the things I think are to be done today do get done, or not. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that I keep my mind attuned to the Holy Spirit’s lead. Then all my doing will be training in right mindedness. It will help me soften the value I put on images in the world and open my mind to the Holy Spirit’s gracious, eternal gift of peace. Today I would step back and let Him lead the way. Amen.
