Love’s Invitation to Return Home

God’s Voice speaks to me all through the day.

It is quite possible to listen to God’s Voice all through the day without interrupting your regular activities in any way. ²The part of your mind in which truth abides is in constant communication with God, whether you are aware of it or not. ³It is the other part of your mind that functions in the world and obeys the world’s laws. ⁴It is this part that is constantly distracted, disorganized and highly uncertain.

The part that is listening to the Voice for God is calm, always at rest and wholly certain. ²It is really the only part there is. ³The other part is a wild illusion, frantic and distraught, but without reality of any kind. ⁴Try today not to listen to it. ⁵Try to identify with the part of your mind where stillness and peace reign forever. ⁶Try to hear God’s Voice call to you lovingly, reminding you that your Creator has not forgotten His Son.

Listen in deep silence. ²Be very still and open your mind. ³Go past all the raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your real thoughts and obscure your eternal link with God. ⁴Sink deep into the peace that waits for you beyond the frantic, riotous thoughts and sights and sounds of this insane world. ⁵You do not live here. ⁶We are trying to reach your real home. ⁷We are trying to reach the place where you are truly welcome. ⁸We are trying to reach God.

…be sure to sit quietly and repeat the idea for today whenever you can, closing your eyes on the world, and realizing that you are inviting God’s Voice to speak to you. (A Course in Miracles, W-49.1–2,4,5:3. See also ACIM Lesson 49 Insights.)

The Voice for Love is always with us, whether we are aware of It or not. If we do not hear Its loving and compassionate guidance it is because we choose not to listen. We have chosen instead to give our attention to the ego’s illusions that show us a loveless world. But we can choose once again.

Today we choose to attend to the Voice of kindness, helpfulness and appreciation. When we listen, it teaches us that the images of the world we see and hear are not real. It tells us that we can see beyond the illusions of the world if we are willing to let go of our attachment to the ego.

We can exchange the chaotic thoughts of the ego for the peaceful and happy thoughts of Love if we are willing to pause and quiet our minds. Our willingness to welcome peace in place of chaos, Love in place of fear opens our mind to hear God’s Voice. It invites us to awaken to the Home God has prepared for us safe in the Heart of Love.
