Receiving God’s Thoughts of Love

Open your mind, and clear it of all thoughts that would deceive, and let this thought alone engage it fully, and remove the rest:

My mind holds only what I think with God.

Five minutes with this thought will be enough to set the day along the lines which God appointed, and to place His Mind in charge of all the thoughts you will receive that day.

And so each [thought] will bring the message of His Love to you, returning messages of yours to Him. So will communion with the Lord of Hosts be yours, as He Himself has willed it be. And as His Own completion joins with Him, so will He join with you who are complete as you unite with Him, and He with you.

God offers thanks to you who practice thus the keeping of His Word. And as you give your mind to the ideas for the day again before you sleep, His gratitude surrounds you in the peace wherein He wills you be forever, and are learning now to claim again as your inheritance. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Part I, Review IV, W-pI.IV.5:2-4;:2-4;10. See also ACIM Lesson 141 Insights.)

We don’t experience peace and happiness in this world because we have disinherited ourselves from God’s gifts. His gifts are still there, ready for us to accept in every moment. As we practice opening our minds to the Thoughts we share with God, we are opening to receive our inheritance. It is the path that leads to the certainty of God’s Love, changeless peace and indescribable joy.

Our thoughts of lack, loss, fear and guilt not shared with God. Such thoughts are inconceivable to God, Who remains the oneness of Love. To clear our minds, we need to set aside these thoughts. Forgiveness is a process for letting these thoughts go.

By repeating frequently, “My mind holds only what I think with God,” we are teaching ourselves that thoughts of fear and guilt are not really ours. As we accept that they do not belong to us, it becomes easier and easier to let them pass by. We increasingly experience the peace and happiness of God’s Love. We free ourselves to return to our Home in God.

Today we will practice holding our mind open to God’s Thoughts of Love.
