Purpose For this Year

I received these thoughts recently.

I am determined to see things differently.
I have made the images I think I “see.” These images reflect my thoughts. They represent what I think I am and what I want to see (or make real).
My sick thoughts show me a fearful unforgiving world—where alienation is the “norm.” My healed thoughts show me a forgiven world where the Son of God is whole, complete and without fear. The healed thoughts show me a world where Love is everywhere because there never was a limit on Love. Love can be Itself because I have forgiven my images and myself for making them.

This is what I want the “new year” to be for me, where I forgive and am forgiven. Where I teach peace and teach love. Where I no longer deceive myself with false images and false thinking. Where I cease choosing the ego system of “living” which is fear based. I choose now the direction I receive from Holy Spirit. I choose for Love. I choose for Light to shine away the fear thoughts. I choose for true perception with H.S. I choose to accept H.S.‘s definition of what anything means.

Specialness will only hurt me. I change my choice of looking for specialness in this world. I seek for what is given to me in truth. Let me seek only the Love of God. Let me accept the peace of God. For His peace and love are within me, forever. I remain as Love created me. I remain as pure and sinless as I was created. Nothing can change God’s Creation, nothing changes His endless Love.

I truly give this year to Him. I would have this be the year of Christ, the year of Love. I would receive this so I may extend the gifts of Truth and know they are mine to give.
Heal my mind, my Father, it is sick.
I would hide nothing, but give it all to be healed.
I would hold nothing back, but return to Love.


I have a new way to see.
I observe the games I am involved in.
I observe the characters I put into the play.
I observe my responses.
I have a new way to see.
I ask for Holy Spirit’s interpretation of every act.
I accept His definition of every scene.
I accept His word and thought for my own.
I thank Him for His truth and devote myself to listening to Him.
I follow His Guidance for me, for He leads me to my Self.
I have and use a new way to see.
Thank you God, I love You God.
