Only Love Is There

All Love is already given us. Love is What we are. Love is all inclusive because Love is all that Is. When we identify with a separate Identity, we cannot be aware of Love. So identifying with being a separate identity brings with it a sense of loss and loneliness, and a yearning to find the Love that seems to be missing. Everyone in the world of separation experiences this.

We cannot find that missing Love in the world, but we can find it with the help of the Holy Spirit in our minds Who remembers that we remain Love as we were created. We welcome Holy Spirit’s help by offering all our judgments to Him with a willingness to have them be replaced with His true perception. We have to let go of our insistence that we know what anything means to make way for our mistaken interpretations to be replaced with Holy Spirit’s vision, which always leads to the recognition that only Love is there.

Our prayer today is to offer all our judgments to the Holy Spirit with willingness to receive His loving vision in their place.

Willingness to Share Holy Spirit’s Perspective

The Holy Spirit asks only this little help of you: Whenever your thoughts wander to a special relationship which still attracts you, enter with Him into a holy instant, and there let Him release you. He needs only your willingness to share His perspective to give it to you completely. And your willingness need not be complete because His is perfect. It is His task to atone for your unwillingness by His perfect faith, and it is His faith you share with Him there. Out of your recognition of your unwillingness for your release, His perfect willingness is given you. Call upon Him, for Heaven is at His Call. And let Him call on Heaven for you. (A Course in Miracles T-16.VI.12)

Our prayer for today: Holy Spirit, this is a day to follow your lead. This is a day for remembering we know nothing on our own. We are willing to give up our way of seeing and open to Your perspective that sees beyond the images to the Light that is the truth in all. We give thanks that You are always there in our minds to be recognized the moment we are willing to share your perspective.

Accepting and Giving Christ’s Vision

Christ’s vision has one law. It does not look upon a body, and mistake it for the Son whom God created. It beholds a light beyond the body; an idea beyond what can be touched, a purity undimmed by errors, pitiful mistakes, and fearful thoughts of guilt from dreams of sin. It sees no separation. And it looks on everyone, on every circumstance, all happenings and all events, without the slightest fading of the light it sees.

…We practice seeing with the eyes of Christ today. And by the holy gifts we give, Christ’s vision looks upon ourselves as well. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.158.7:1-5;11:3-4)

When anything disturbs our peace, it is always because we see the cause as external. This is because in that moment, we are identifying with being a body, a separate identity.

There is a simple antidote that will set us free. All we need to do is join with the Holy Spirit in our mind to see with His vision, which always disregards the body and any form to see only the Light of Love. That is all there is to really see.

When we welcome this vision, we are at peace. We know there is nothing that can harm us because we are one with all that is real. We recognize that everything is part of us, at one in Love. In this recognition, fear is impossible. With this vision, we welcome our brother and see his holiness, which teaches us of our holiness. What we give, we receive. What we teach, we learn. Our practice today is to accept and give Christ’s vision.

Honoring Our One Self

You are as God created you. Today honor your Self. Let graven images you made to be the Son of God instead of what he is be worshipped not today. Deep in your mind the holy Christ in you is waiting your acknowledgment as you. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.110.9:1-4)

It certainly doesn’t seem that there is a holy Christ in us that is actually What we are. But that is because we are identifying with an image of what we are that is a false idol. This image is actually a defense against accepting the holy Christ in us.

The Course is giving us a way to disconnect from this false idol so that we can open our hearts and minds and acknowledge our Self that is the Christ. This is what forgiveness does.

Letting go of the past, forgiving all grievances, and letting go of judgment are the means to clear away the barriers to the recognition that we remain as God created us — Love and nothing else.

We dedicate this day to reminding ourselves frequently that we are as God created us, united in the one Love of God. It does not matter if we wholeheartedly believe this or not. The frequent reminders will help us open to the truth. That is all we really want.

You Are Being Carried

Remember you are being carried today. Let yourself be led in the present moment. Let go of the future and the past, and focus on how you can be truly helpful right now. Listen and receive. Choose peace as your companion and let the inspiration found in the present moment be your guide. The constancy of God’s gifts will fill you and extend to everyone. The constancy of Heaven’s happiness is yours to receive and give. Let yourself be carried and it will be a day of gratitude.

Be the Love and Let It Flow

All we need to be happy is accept the Love we are and let the Love flow. Letting Love flow is natural. It is unnatural to interfere with Love’s extension. Whenever we judge or seek for happiness in forms of the world, we are interfering with Love’s natural flow. Nothing in the world can bring us true happiness because the world was made as a defense against Love.

This is why forgiveness, letting go of the past, is the key to happiness. Forgiveness clears the way for Love’s natural flow. When we accept complete forgiveness, we naturally experience a quiet inner joy, a sense of relief, a feeling of welcoming embrace of our brother, who is one with us. There can be no greater gift we can give ourselves than this. Today our practice is to be the Love and let It flow.

Accepting Our Holiness, Accepting Our Wholeness

For this alone I need; that you will hear the words I speak, and give them to the world. You are my voice, my eyes, my feet, my hands through which I save the world. The Self from which I call to you is but your own. To Him we go together. Take your brother’s hand, for this is not a way we walk alone. In him I walk with you, and you with me. Our Father wills His Son be one with Him. What lives but must not then be one with you? (A Course in Miracles W-pI.Review 5.9:2-9)

Our goal is the same and, knowing that, I take my brother’s hand and walk with him, for no one goes home alone.

What joy we have in our journey of return to join with every brother in our single purpose, which is to wake up to our one Identity, joined with our Father. Today is another opportunity to listen and receive God’s peace and joy and extend it to everyone.

As I let Holy Spirit’s Light within show me the Light in everyone, I experience the blessing of remembering, “God is but Love and therefore so am I.” I see the Love. I feel the Love. I experience Its joy and Its peace. In this vision, every encounter is a holy encounter and I am blessed.
