Letting Our Mind Serve Love

I rule my mind, which I alone must rule.

I have a kingdom I must rule. ²At times, it does not seem I am its king at all. ³It seems to triumph over me, and tell me what to think, and what to do and feel. ⁴And yet it has been given me to serve whatever purpose I perceive in it. ⁵My mind can only serve. ⁶Today I give its service to the Holy Spirit to employ as He sees fit. ⁷I thus direct my mind, which I alone can rule. ⁸And thus I set it free to do the Will of God.

Father, my mind is open to Your Thoughts, and closed today to every thought but Yours. ²I rule my mind, and offer it to You. ³Accept my gift, for it is Yours to me. (A Course in Miracles, W-236. See also ACIM Lesson 236 Insights.)

The wish for specialness denies our true Identity. To hide from this Identity, the mind dedicated to specialness makes a false identity that needs constant defense. The body is its central focus which is flooded with distractions that seem to need attention to maintain its safety.

But the mind can serve a different purpose. Today we give its service to the Holy Spirit to use to extend Love, our true Identity. We join in God’s eternal Creation. As let our mind be open to Thoughts of Love, our world is transformed. We recognize the Life we live in Love.
