“God’s healing Voice protects all things today.” A Course In Miracles

Let’s allow God to be in charge of our relationships, our bodies, our past, our present and our future.  It sounds simple and it is, but because we have allowed our egos to rule our thinking for so long, it takes great vigilance to trust in this Loving Power that transcends and transforms a world of fear into an experience of pure Love.  Not vigilance against the ego, but vigilance FOR God.

God’s world is simple. The ego world is complex. That’s how we know the difference.

HEALING

H appiness is
E asy when we
A ll choose
L ove.
I t happens as we understand that
N othing here is real but

“God is with me. He is my Source of life, the life within, the air I breathe, the food by which I am sustained, the water which renews and cleanses me. He is my home, wherein I live and move; the Spirit which directs my actions, offers me Its Thoughts; and guarantees my safety from all pain. He covers me with kindness and with care, and holds in love the Child He shines upon, who also shines on Him. How still are they who know the truth of what God speaks today!” ACIM

“I will try to quietly be grateful to God today and feel only His Holy Presence in my life.”

Today as we go about our day, let’s choose to be aware of something more than what we see and hear. Instead, let’s open our hearts and thank God for those who are loving and kind, for those who are ready to choose healing and peace instead of hatred and war. Thank God for all the leaders, spiritual and political who are trying to fix the world by bringing us together as God’s Children as never before. Our gratitude will bless everyone and everyone will be given the opportunity to see themselves and each other through a different lens. And then insanity will transform to quiet reflection and confusion and chaos will be transcended by God’s Love.

 “A happy outcome to all things is sure.” A Course In Miracles

“You do not walk alone. God’s angels hover near and all about. His Love surrounds you, and of this be sure; that He will never leave you comfortless.” A Course In Miracles.

“I will see myself comforted and surrounded by God’s Love today.”

When we look at the world, what do we see? All the pain, and suffering? Or the truth, that God is real and everything and everyone can be lifted into His Light for healing? Do we join the world in its misery by adding our negative energy of fear and judgment to the chaos? Or can we choose a better way?

What if we join forces with God by sending kind and loving thoughts into the world every chance we get? What if we lay our fears down and pray, “God help us.” What if we go about our day giving kindness and compassion to everyone we meet. One way we can do this is by dispensing random acts of kindness like small ribbons of light and joy before the feet of everyone.

What if we become part of the solution by smiling gently at anyone who needs a smile and offering a happy greeting to friends and strangers alike? What if we are part of the solution, by choosing to withhold judgment of what we see and hear on the news and instead send a healing prayer to everyone involved? Love is energy that heals. Fear is energy that keeps the world in darkness. We have the capacity for both. We can get angry and righteous and choose to make the world the problem of those we see as guilty. Or we can take responsibility for our part in the mess by remembering our anger and our fear are just as powerful for keeping the world in pain as those who are actually acting out the drama and the violence. We may not want to believe that our thoughts are that powerful. After all we’re not doing anything to hurt anyone. But when we consider that we are creations of the greatest Power of all, is it too farfetched to believe that we are contributing to the chaos by keeping our thoughts in chaos? In a lesser way, perhaps, but contributors nonetheless. And there are billions of us joining forces in judgment and in fear.

The answer is forgiveness. We must, one person at a time, forgive ourselves for our mistakes and ask God to heal us so we can be instruments of peace instead of pain. It seems almost impossible to withhold our judgments and be free of ego fear. The natural thing seems to be to judge the world and to believe we know what everyone else should be doing differently. This desire to rule through our egos instead of allowing God’s Love in is very powerful and entrenched into our way of thinking and being in the world.

And so we cannot do it alone. God is always with us to help us change our thoughts whenever we open our mind and heart and turn to Him. For every fear thought there is a corresponding Love thought. We must be vigilant in watching how we react and respond to the world and those in our lives. And every time we find ourselves responding with negativity, we can stop ourselves even in mid sentence or mid thought and go somewhere quiet and say, “God, I give my mistaken thoughts to you. Please help me to be your channel and your tool for healing in the world.” Or “God, please help me to see this through Your Eyes so I can change my mind.”

Working through Love instead of fear is not easy. But it’s necessary if we really want a better world. Sometimes, we can only pray, “God help me.” And yet that is the most powerful prayer there is.

We are not alone. Powerful Guides walk with us. Let’s take Their hands and allow ourselves to be lifted above the fray where we can truly be a healer for God in the world. And when we find ourselves in the middle of the mess again, which we will, let’s take God’s hand again. And then again. And then again.

Every experience and every moment is another opportunity to choose again. And to remember the powerful truth – that we are not alone. God and His Angels walk with us and His will for us is only peace and happiness and nothing else. When we turn to God for help we are simply aligning our will with His. And there is nothing more powerful that we can do for the healing of the world.

“Miracles are seen in light and light and strength are one.” A Course In Miracles

“I will laugh and be open to my light today.”

A gentle laugh lets out the light that lives within the center of our spirit.
In this place, nothing can disturb us.
Nothing can harm us. 
Nothing can frighten us.

In Light we are strong. 
We are safe. 
We are calm. 
We are in harmony with every living thing. 

In Light joy blossoms, 
happiness flows and 
abundance is our destiny.

In Light peace thrives and 
healing is in every breath.

In Light trust is easy. 
In Light everything we need is already ours. 
In Light we are whole and perfect and one.

Light is at the core of every Child of God. 
Deny it, suppress it, disbelieve it, it doesn’t matter.
It’s still there quietly waiting for us to want it.

“Light is in you.” A Course In Miracles  And that Light is Love, God’s Love.

In God we are calm, we are safe, we are well, we are strong. We are Light.

”We trust our ways to God and say “Amen.” In peace we will continue in His way, and trust all things to Him. In confidence we wait His answers, as we ask His Will in everything we do.” A Course In Miracles

“I will place my trust in something Higher today.”

We must allow God’s thinking to reign, not our own. God doesn’t see the world as we do. God’s world is Loving and Kind and Helpful because it doesn’t come from anger, fear and righteousness. It comes from Love. It comes from knowing all about everyone and loving us as His creations, not each other’s enemies. He doesn’t punish His children, He brings them together by showing them that they are not what they think, separated bodies fighting for their lives. Instead they are His creations at one with Him and with each other.

How does that look? We don’t really know … yet. And we don’t need to. All we need to do is lift our eyes to Him, open our hearts to Him and let Him in to make the corrections that are needed to heal us and the world. Simply stop judging and pray, “God, I give this to you. I no longer need to be right because I know my needing to be right isn’t helping anything. I just need to see myself, my life and the world through your eyes.”

This doesn’t mean we don’t do anything in the world. Of course we do.  But we do it with Love instead of judgment, righteousness and fear. We pray, “Show me Your will, God.” Then we let it go and TRUST in God to use our willingness and our loving work to make all things right.

“Long ago the end was written in the stars and set into the Heavens with a shining Ray that held it safe within eternity and through all time as well. And holds it still; unchanged, unchanging and unchangeable.” A Course In Miracles

“I am changing my story and I’m sticking to it.”

We all have a book inside us.  It’s called an autobiography or the book of our life. It is written by us daily and in each moment.  It can be edited or re-written at any time and in any way we choose. There can be drama and darkness if we want.  Or light and healing if we choose something else.  There can be a series of judgments or a rush of joy.

There can be attack whereby we project our beliefs on others or feel victimized, hurt or angry about the judgments of others upon ourselves. Or we can allow kindness and compassion to flow through our pages.  Every moment of each day, every situation, relationship and experience we are writing in our book.  How we choose to live our life is how the words are written and read by us and all those in our story.

So what will it be?  A love story? Or a tragedy? Light filled and miraculous? Or anxious and fearful? Why don’t we decide to make this new year a light year away from the last year. A year of Light that goes on forever would be nice.  “… a shining Ray held safe within eternity.” We’ve lived the old story long enough. Let’s write something new. To make a new story for ourselves, all we need do is to let go of all we do not want. God will do the rest

“A happy outcome to all things is sure.” A Course In Miracles

No matter how it looks or sounds or feels, do not be deceived. There is something beautiful and miraculous happening on the other side of the insanity that we have to be open to so that we can be true channels for healing. Not warriors for righteousness, but doorways for love; God’s Love.

Now smile with relief that we in our littleness and limitedness are not in charge here. God in His Greatness is working through us. Be open to miracles. Be open to kind thoughts. Be open to compassion. Find strength in gentleness instead of violence. Instead of counting the world’s mistakes, look for the good things happening here; the beauty and the blessings happening all around us. There is so much we overlook because we have allowed our vision to be blocked by fear.

Watch the world change before our eyes as we become willing to look at it differently. And then no matter what appears to be happening here, because God is our Guide, we will be at peace and in our peace will rise great courage and confidence and healing will happen without one angry word or defensive thought or act.

God bless you all as you take a step in the right direction; the direction of God. It will take time to change our minds about how the world should be. We may think that gentleness and kindness are weakness and anger and righteousness are strength for a while yet. But the more we exercise our true strength and are willing to let go of our archaic thinking and then see the results of our new way of thinking and being in the world, the more we will believe and Trust in Him Who Knows All about All.

And the sooner we choose to fly with God on the powerful wings of an eagle and let go of the little sparrow of our small thinking, the sooner will the world be healed, one Child of God at a time.

“I am not a body, I am free.  For I am still as God created me.” A Course In Miracles

“Today I will remember I am more than just a body.”

When we think of ourselves, we generally think of our professions or our jobs, (teacher, minister, carpenter, lawyer, police officer, clerk, etc.) our relationships (parent, son, daughter, husband, wife, partner, sister, brother, friend, etc.).  Or we respond with our interests or our avocations, ( artist, writer, musician, athlete, actor, gardener, etc.).  All those things make up our worldly experience, but they are what we do not what we are. 

Our inner voice speaks of something else. 
It’s time to listen.

We are not our bodies, but something more.
We are not our weaknesses, but something strong.
We are not our doubts, but something certain.
We are not our illnesses or disabilities, but something whole and perfect.
We are not our dark moments, but something joyous and filled with light.
We are not our fears, but something peace-filled and confident.
We are not our roller coaster emotions, but something stable, constant and eternal.

We have a body. But that something else, that indefinable something that we generally overlook or deny about ourselves is living quietly inside the busy, doing person we believe we are. Our bodies have a purpose. It is being a channel for loving communication no matter what we do in the world. No matter what is happening in the world. But the body is not us.

“… love cannot be far behind a grateful heart and thankful mind …”A Course In Miracles

 “I will just say Thank you God today – for everything.” 

Any changes for the better must come from our minds first and this takes us back to our own miraculous selves. We have the power within our own minds to change our experiences by believing in something greater than this world. As we lift our thinking from the darkness of an uncertain world, to the Light and the certainty of God we will see that all our problems have been solved and everything we need has been provided and we can rest in Him positive that all is well.

“I accept God’s Will for happiness for me and I accept it as my purpose now.” A Course In Miracles

And for this we say, “Thank you God.”

“The light has come. You are healed and you can heal.” A Course In Miracles

So now we can decide this moment whether we believe God or not.  Actually, He doesn’t expect us to believe Him, but He does expect us to want to believe.  Our little willingness opens up a channel for God’s Love to flow through. It is in His Love we will experience moments of pure joy, peace, love and light. It is in those moments we can “see”, God is absolutely right. We are healed. And

“When I am healed I am not healed alone.” A Course In Miracles.

When we are healed, we extend that healing to all the world.

Let our prayer be, “I want to see that I am healed.”

And we say, Thank you, God.

“Let this be a day of stillness and of quiet listening.” A Course In Miracles

 “I will live, look, act, speak and listen with God today.”

If we live through our heart we will experience life more fully.

If we look through our inner eyes, we will see more clearly.

If we act gently, we will feel more intensely.

If we speak kindly, we will communicate more truthfully.

If we listen quietly, we will hear more easily.

If we open our minds and question our judgments
We will discover amazing things about ourselves and each other.

And God will smile joyously upon us. “They are getting it,” He will think. “My beloved Children are finally getting it.”

 So today let us

… live through our heart,  

… look inward,

… act gently,

… speak kindly,

… listen quietly,

… question our judgments,

… and make God smile.

“Can you imagine what it means to have no cares, no worries, no anxieties, but merely to be perfectly calm and quiet all the time?  Yet that is what time is for; to learn just that and nothing more.”  A Course In Miracles

“I will use time for its intended purpose today, and nothing else.”

Time has a purpose. And that purpose is healing. Healing of our thinking which extends into the healing of our experiences. 

What if our thoughts could calm tornadoes and render hurricanes harmless?  What if our thoughts could heal bodies, viruses and end wars? What if our thoughts could create glorious gardens and harmonize and balance all of nature? Would we not want to change our thinking to bring holiness and healing to the world?

Imagine walking through dark alleys in a major city without fear?  Imagine knowing that you and your children are and will always be healthy, safe and strong? Imagine plenty of everything for everyone with no feelings of poverty and scarcity?  Imagine experiencing kind and loving relationships with all your family and your co-workers and imagine that every stranger has become a friend? Imagine always seeing yourself as valuable and worthy and beautiful.

What if instead of needing to be right, we ask ourselves, “What can I do to bring you happiness today?”  What if sharing was our first instinct instead of withholding? What if our first question to everyone in need was, “How can I help?” And then what if all fear and need disappeared into ALL IS WELL.

Feel the heavy mantle of burden and of fear and anxiety lifted from our shoulders and our minds by simply choosing something better for ourselves and everyone. What if we stopped fighting truth and denying joy?  Now our hearts are light. Now our feelings and experiences are filled with peace. Now we want to dance and laugh and share our happiness with everyone – all the time. And what if all it took to make this happen was to change our minds about how we see ourselves and others and the world?

So let’s calm down. Let’s quiet our thoughts, breathe deeper and more slowly and listen to God’s Thinking. What may seem impossible to us is nothing at all to Him.  It can happen.  It will happen.  God’s children cannot live in darkness and fear and violence and pain forever.  For they, after all, are God’s children, His Holy Creations.  At some point, we will, collectively, choose a better way.  Just give it time.

“… replace darkness with light and fear with love.” A Course In Miracles

Let’s envision fear (anxiety, depression, anger, sadness, etc.) as a child in need of love.  We lift the frightened child into our heart and soothe it with a gentle lullaby. The child is having a nightmare. We must be kind and patient with our young and frightened self.

As we offer love and reassurance to the child inside us, the nightmare is lifted up and disappears into the light of our own truth. Confusion and terror are calmed by comfort and reassurance.

By sending thoughts of love and kindness to our frightened child within, calm and quiet confidence rises up and comforts us. As our loving muscle strengthens, our fear muscle weakens. Fear cannot fight love or argue with it because love simply is and can’t fight back.  Fear needs a fight in order to survive. It needs validation; something to hold onto. Fear cannot cling to love or argue with it. It simply slips away like a shadow in the night fades silently into light.

In lifting fear up to Love we have gifted ourselves with a power we never knew we possessed. That is the power to be happy in the face of fear. Just as we would comfort any frightened child, we can bring our own spirit back to peace with a simple smile, a gentle hug and a loving thought.  “All is well.”

“I seek but what belongs to me in truth.  God’s gifts of joy and peace are all I want.” A Course In Miracles.

Next time we feel fear in any form, let’s smile at our self and say, “I love you.” And feel the transformation from fear into peace begin, one loving thought and moment at a time.

Let God’s Miracles bring healing everywhere. Amen.

“The stillness speaks in gentle sounds of love the Child of God remembers from before … The stillness of the peace of God is mine.” A Course In Miracles

God lies beyond words. He is simply Love.

Joy

Happiness
Health

Peace
Light
Laughter
Kindness
Compassion
Tolerance

Beyond the words are the ideas. Beyond the ideas is the experience. All are the results of Love.

The only activity required to give them and receive them is … FORGIVENESS.

Forgiveness happens best in stillness.  The stillness that lies beyond words.

“Anyone is free to change their mind…” 
“Change your mind on what you want to see and all the world must change accordingly.” A Course In Miracles

 “I will gladly attend God’s class and change my mind today.”

We all have the power to change our mind.  Saying “this is just how or who I am” is no excuse for limitation and mistaken thinking or behavior. We can always be different.  In fact, we are here to learn and grow.  Not stay the same.

Love knows no boundaries.
Kindness belongs to everyone.
Helpfulness is not for just a few.
Gentleness is inside each one of us.

And the confidence to sustain these loving attributes is there as well. It’s time to tap, tap, tap into our better, stronger selves. If we listen well we will hear God’s Voice rooting for our best selves to emerge victorious.

Listening well takes an inner ear; 
Seeing clearly, an inner eye.

We all have hearts.  We all have minds.  We all have the power to put them to a loving use. We all have everything we need to be a better self. If we need help in changing, there is help everywhere.  We just need ask and God will bring it to us.

We all know the attributes within us that could be stronger, healthier and more loving. Our imperfections are not a secret to us or anyone else. No matter how hard we try to keep them so.

Being mistaken is being human. 
But the world is a classroom and as long as we’re here 
Why not take advantage of the curriculum for being a better person. 

Let’s sign up together today. The tuition is free. And everyone graduates with honors!

 “A happy outcome to all things is sure.” A Course In Miracles

“ For you must be as God created you. Truth does not fight against illusions, nor do illusions fight against the truth. Illusions battle only with themselves. Being fragmented, they fragment. But truth is indivisible, and far beyond their [illusion’s] little reach. You will remember what you know when you have learned you cannot be in conflict. One illusion about yourself can battle with another, yet the war of two illusions is a state where nothing happens. There is no victor and there is no victory. And truth stands radiant, apart from conflict, untouched and quiet in the peace of God.” A Course In Miracles

“I will gladly wave the white flag of absolute surrender today; surrendering to God.”

If we think we have to stand apart from God and fight for our protection and our rights, we need to take a quiet moment and stand back and recognize that that thinking is what keeps our world at war; war inside our families, inside our communities, inside our country and in the world. And inside each one of us.

We don’t need to be at war with each other. We’ve already tried that and look at our world. Clearly that doesn’t work. What we need is to learn a better way.

Trying to solve the world’s problems at the level of the world is impossible. At the level of the world we are blinded by our own fears and anger and sadness and limited by our opinions, misperceptions and misunderstandings and past experiences. Instead we need to ask for help to rise above the fray and ask God for a better way. 

“On our own we can do nothing, but in God are all our problems solved.” ACIM

Every time we attack another or defend ourselves, no matter how “right” and “righteous” we feel, we are allowing ourselves to be part of the problem and have let the solution fade from our sight. And now we’re stuck in the same old, archaic thinking that has kept this world in chaos since the beginning of time.

”We trust our ways to God and say “Amen.” In peace we will continue in His way, and trust all things to Him. In confidence we wait His answers, as we ask His Will in everything we do.” A Course In Miracles

“I will place my trust in something Higher today.”

We must allow God’s thinking to reign, not our own. God doesn’t see the world as we do. God’s world is Loving and Kind and Helpful because it doesn’t come from anger, fear and righteousness. It comes from Love. It comes from knowing all about everyone and loving us as His creations, not each other’s enemies. He doesn’t punish His children, He brings them together by showing them that they are not what they think, separated bodies fighting for their lives. Instead they are His creations at one with Him and with each other.

How does that look? We don’t really know … yet. And we don’t need to. All we need to do is lift our eyes to Him, open our hearts to Him and let Him in to make the corrections that are needed to heal us and the world. Simply stop judging and pray, “God, I give this to you. I no longer need to be right because I know my needing to be right isn’t helping anything. I just need to see myself, my life and the world through your eyes.”

This doesn’t mean we don’t do anything in the world. Of course we do.  But we do it with Love instead of judgment, righteousness and fear. We pray, “Show me Your will, God.” Then we let it go and TRUST in God to use our willingness and our loving work to make all things right.

“The light has come. I am healed …”  A Course In Miracles

“I choose to see myself as healed today.”

What if God came to us in a vision and said, “Beloved Child, you are healed, in spirit, mind and body, you are healed.”  Would we believe Him?  Would we be able to see beyond what we are feeling and beyond what we think we are experiencing and say, “Wow! Thanks, God.” or even “God, I can’t see it, but if You say so, it must be true.”  Or would we say, “God you must be crazy.  Look at me.  I’m a mess.”

Well, God is constantly telling us we’re healed.  We’re okay.  We never left His Heaven. “The light has come. You are healed and you can heal.” A Course In Miracles

So now we can decide this moment whether we believe Him or not.  Actually, He doesn’t expect us to believe Him, but He does expect us to want to believe.  Our little willingness opens up a channel for His Love to flow through. It is in His Love we will experience moments of pure joy, peace, love and light. It is in those moments we can “see”, He is absolutely right. We are healed. And “When I am healed I am not healed alone.” A Course In Miracles. When we are healed, we extend that healing to all the world.

Let our prayer be, “I want to see that I am healed.”

“Accept the miracle… of healing, and it will go forth because of what it is. It is its nature to extend itself the instant it is born. And it is born the instant it is offered and received.” A Course In Miracles

“I will walk in the light of my own forgiveness today and see miracles of healing.”

We don’t have to fix the world and the calamity and chaos we see out there, but we can pray for healing and peace and forgiveness for the greater world as we practice kindness and forgiveness within our own world. Forgiveness is energy and it lives in us, our gift from God. He instilled it in us for our use in keeping our lives peaceful and for healing our experiences along with our relationships. When we forgive others and ourselves, we open our minds and hearts for another, better way of being. This better way sends ripples of loving energy from us to others and through others to more others. These ripples are miracles.

Forgiveness is contagious as laughter is contagious as joy is contagious as kindness is contagious and as peace is contagious. Instead of spreading anger and disease and fear, let us spread Love and Peace and Joy through small acts and thoughts and words of forgiveness and kindness. Let us be kind to ourselves and see that kindness manifest into healing in our lives. Sometimes all we can do for someone else is pray for peace for them. And if that’s the best we can do, then that is what we must do. And that best is far greater than we know for it puts us on the path as miracle workers for God.
