The Practice That Leads to Heaven

⁷Never forget the Love of God, Who has remembered you. ⁸For it is quite impossible that He could ever let His Son drop from the loving Mind wherein he was created, and where his abode was fixed in perfect peace forever.

Say to the Holy Spirit only, “Decide for me,” and it is done. ²For His decisions are reflections of what God knows about you, and in this light, error of any kind becomes impossible. ³Why would you struggle so frantically to anticipate all you cannot know, when all knowledge lies behind every decision the Holy Spirit makes for you? ⁴Learn of His wisdom and His Love, and teach His answer to everyone who struggles in the dark. ⁵For you decide for them and for yourself.

Whenever you are in doubt what you should do, think of His Presence in you, and tell yourself this, and only this:

²He leadeth me and knows the way, which I know not.
³Yet He will never keep from me what He would have me learn.
⁴And so I trust Him to communicate to me all that He knows for me.

⁵Then let Him teach you quietly how to perceive your guiltlessness, which is already there. (A Course in Miracles, T-14.III.15:7–16:5;19:1-5. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Nothing is worthy of our trust in the world because nothing we perceive is real. This is why experiencing the peace of God in the world is impossible as long as we believe separation and specialness are real.

Yet it is possible to learn what can be truly trusted if we accept the Holy Spirit’s help in everything we think, say and do. We have trained ourselves to trust in what is untrustworthy. Now we need to unlearn this mistaken trust.

We need to reinforce a new habit of welcoming the Holy Spirit’s help every day, all day. This new habit requires reinforcement again and again daily. It is a practice that leads us to the peace of God. It leads to the experience of God’s Love that far exceeds anything we can experience in this world. It leads to forgiving the world for all we thought it was and awakening to our Home in Heaven. Let’s join in this practice today.
