Robert:
One of my favorite Workbook lessons is: “God goes with me wherever I go.” It offers comforting assurance that I cannot be without God. No matter where I go, His Love and strength are with me. It concludes with the wonderful reminder that, “You can indeed afford to laugh at fear thoughts, remembering that God goes with you wherever you go.” (W-pI.41.10)
I don’t think of myself as being fearful. Yet if I am honest, I have to acknowledge that there are many times in a day when I at least mentally make plans for the future, from thinking of things I might say to someone or wishing a situation would have a certain outcome, to making plans on my own for how I think the next Pathways of Light Center should look.
Only if there were some underlying fear that if I didn’t make some plans I wouldn’t be safe would there be a need to spend time planning for the future. In those moments I’m not laughing at fear thoughts. In some way I’m thinking that there may be something that could disturb my peace. All this really means is that in those moments I have forgotten that God is with me and will always be with me. With the strength of God within me there truly is nothing that can affect me.
So today I will remind myself frequently that God goes with me wherever I go and that with Him I am perfectly safe and perfectly loved and I can share that with everyone.
Mary:
Today forgiveness is my highest priority. Forgiveness means opening my mind to receive the miracle of truth from the Holy Spirit, instead of thinking thoughts on my own. In truth there is no division anywhere. Forgiveness allows the Light of the Holy Spirit to return to my mind. Forgiveness allows me to return Home to my Father. Forgiveness helps me remember I never left. Forgiveness removes the blocks to the awareness of Love’s presence in everyone and everywhere. Forgiveness is my only function here.
My job today is to ask frequently, “Whose hand am I holding right now, Holy Spirit’s or ego’s? What mind am I joining with, the false mind which thinks in terms of separation or the real Mind of Love?” Forgiveness returns me Home where I belong along with every brother. Because we are joined as one mind, we don’t go Home alone.
