Into His Presence would I enter now.
This is a day of silence and of trust. ²It is a special time of promise in your calendar of days. ³It is a time Heaven has set apart to shine upon, and cast a timeless light upon this day, when echoes of eternity are heard. ⁴This day is holy, for it ushers in a new experience; a different kind of feeling and awareness. ⁵You have spent long days and nights in celebrating death. ⁶Today you learn to feel the joy of life.
Today it will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will return to paths of learning. ²Yet you have come far enough along the way to alter time sufficiently to rise above its laws, and walk into eternity a while. ³This you will learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this holy place and leaves you, for a moment, to your Self.
³Nothing is needed but today’s idea to light your mind, and let it rest in still anticipation and in quiet joy, wherein you quickly leave the world behind.
From this day forth, your ministry takes on a genuine devotion, and a glow that travels from your fingertips to those you touch, and blesses those you look upon. ²A vision reaches everyone you meet, and everyone you think of, or who thinks of you. ³For your experience today will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for the holy Thoughts of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-157.1;3;4:3–5:3. See also ACIM Lesson 157 Insights.)
The experience of God’s Love is always available to us. We are only unaware of It while we identify with a body and what we perceive through the body. The body is the ego’s central image it uses to make separation seem real. But we are not a body.
This recognition is the first step toward opening our mind to the presence of God. The practice of pausing to let our minds settle into the peace within opens the door to realizing we are always in God’s presence. As we let our mind be still, the Light of Love is welcome. We feel the peace of God. We know we are safe from this state of mind. We see every brother as united with us in the one Self that is God’s Son. We remember our unity in Love. No one is excluded.
Today will be a blessed day as we practice holding our mind open to the awareness that we are in God’s Presence now and forever.
