The Joy of God Is Ours Now

Joy is an attribute of peace. If we want to be happy, we have to accept the peace of God within. That peace is ever present, but any judgment hides this peace from our awareness. When we let go of judgment — forgive — peace and joy fill our awareness. Our happiness does not depend upon any circumstance in the world. Happiness is a natural condition of accepting the will we share with God.

Today we practice stepping back from all our judgments and letting Holy Spirit show us the joyous Love that is everywhere. With His help we will see the happy face of Christ in everyone we meet. The joy within will extend out to bless every circumstance and everyone we meet or even think of. The joy of God is ours now. Today we would accept it in gratitude and peace.

Remembering Our Identity in Heaven Within

There is a place in you where this whole world has been forgotten; where no memory of sin and of illusion lingers still. There is a place in you which time has left, and echoes of eternity are heard. There is a resting place so still no sound except a hymn to Heaven rises up to gladden God the Father and the Son. Where Both abide are They remembered, Both. And where They are is Heaven and is peace.

…The changelessness of Heaven is in you, so deep within that nothing in this world but passes by, unnoticed and unseen. The still infinity of endless peace surrounds you gently in its soft embrace, so strong and quiet, tranquil in the might of its Creator, nothing can intrude upon the sacred Son of God within. (A Course in Miracles, T-29.V.1:1-5;2:3-4)

The peace of Heaven is always in us and cannot leave us. Our practice for today is to open wide the doors within to receive the gift of our Inheritance. Receiving God’s gift of peace is not a little gift. It is the gift of Heaven. We let ourselves be carried as we receive God’s gift of peace today. We row our boat gently down the stream, remembering it is just a dream.

A Day of Vigilance for Peace

Today we practice being vigilant for peace. Peace is the condition that makes way to receive Holy Spirit’s guidance and inspiration. We would follow. We would not lead. Our safety and our joy lie in following His lead and deciding nothing on our own. Together with Him we row gently down the stream and learn that this world is but a dream. With this practice we allow the Holy Spirit to use time for His purpose on our behalf. With Him this day brings us closer to our awakening to our Home in Heaven. And we give thanks.

Following Simple, Uncomplicated Love

Our purpose today is to follow the lead of simple, uncomplicated Love. We step back and let Love lead the way… We open our minds to Love’s quiet, comforting Presence… We soak in Love’s calm sea of peace… We receive Love’s gifts and extend Love’s gifts to all the world… We remember that the whole Sonship has not left God and that nothing has happened to change God’s one Son… We let God’s peace and joy into our minds and extend it to the world… This is our practice for today.

Seeing Past Guilt to Innocence

Your brother’s sinlessness is given you in shining light, to look on with the Holy Spirit’s vision and to rejoice in along with Him. For peace will come to all who ask for it with real desire and sincerity of purpose, shared with the Holy Spirit and at one with Him on what salvation is. Be willing, then, to see your brother sinless, that Christ may rise before your vision and give you joy. And place no value on your brother’s body, which holds him to illusions of what he is. It is his desire to see his sinlessness, as it is yours. And bless the Son of God in your relationship, nor see in him what you have made of him. (A Course in Miracles, T-20.VIII.3)

The greatest gift we can give to any brother is to be willing to see him as the Holy Spirit sees him. In truth he is still the pure Light of Love that God created him to be. This is the season of gift giving. Let’s focus on giving every brother the only thing that matters to his freedom and ours. Let’s commit to giving every brother his full due by seeing the truth in him. The truth is every brother is innocent, and so are we. Every brother is pure spirit.

What more valuable gift could we extend this holiday season? The only cost is our willingness to let go of our false images and to see with the vision the Holy Spirit shares with us. It is a gift we give ourselves as well. This is how we bring “peace on earth and good will toward all men.” What a happy holiday season we have before us to receive and give the vision of innocence.

Accepting Our One Self in Everyone

Father, we are like You. No cruelty abides in us, for there is none in You. Your peace is ours. And we bless the world with what we have received from You alone. We choose again, and make our choice for all our brothers, knowing they are one with us. We bring them Your salvation as we have received it now. And we give thanks for them who render us complete. In them we see Your glory, and in them we find our peace. Holy are we because Your Holiness has set us free. And we give thanks. Amen. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.170.13)

Our practice today is to let the Holy Spirit’s vision show us the innocence and Love in everyone. As we accept His vision we learn that our real Self is Love and innocence. This true vision is the basis for forgiveness. It shows us that we remain as God created us. It shines away the dark shadows that seem to justify a need to defend. It opens our awareness to the truth in ourselves and our brothers so that we welcome everyone into the circle of Love that is our Home. As we accept the Holy Spirit’s vision as our own, we accept our Self.

Peace First

Following Holy Spirit’s plan always leads to peace because it leads to God. In the world, Holy Spirit’s guidance is always with ease, the reflection of peace. Our practice today is to be vigilant for peace to let the ease of Holy Spirit’s guidance flow through. Struggle is of the ego. Peace is of God. As we choose God’s peace today, we make way for a day of gentleness and Love. And we give thanks.
