“Forgiveness is the key to happiness.” A Course In Miracles

“I will let God handle things today.”

Instead of focusing so intently on our imperfections and our fears and all that we perceive to be negative about ourselves and others and the world, why don’t we instead focus on simply accepting who we are just the way we are?  “I love and accept myself exactly as I am.” And then accept others for themselves as well. Once we have accepted life as it is, we can then begin the process of inner change.  “For it is on this forgiveness rests, and is but natural.” A Course In Miracles 

We have trained ourselves to judge everything and everyone … to the nth degree.  We thrive on our judgments, because we believe in them so strongly.  If something “looks” a certain way to us, we say it is so. And then we add our own interpretation, motivation and back story to this judgment about someone’s behavior and words to make it more real to ourselves and others. We believe in what we think we see and hear as though it were etched in stone. Many a relationship has suffered from just such thinking. 

Much fear and anger has been justified in the name of righteousness. We may even say it is God’s will. It doesn’t help that we have a great capacity to forget how many times we have judged and were wrong. And even when we remember we were wrong, we still managed to turn that to our advantage somehow so we can keep on being right. It takes great honesty and humility and forgiveness of ourselves and others to admit we made a mistake and then to learn from that mistake and allow it to be healed. “Forgiveness is the only sane response.” A Course In Miracles

If we’re not sure we believe in the power of our judgments, let’s do this exercise. Let’s take a strong opinion we have about something in our life and try and let it go. Religion, Relationships, Politics, Differences, Justice, Money, and Death are just a few topics we may feel strongly about. Let’s take an opinion about any one of these things and let it go. Feel the stress from trying to swallow that idea?  And yet it is these very judgments that keep us imprisoned in a world of suffering and pain.

God’s job is to impress His loving judgment upon all these things that worry us so much. To let go of judgment does not mean the world will go to hell in a hand basket. It only means that we are letting God handle what belongs to Him so all these complicated things can be simplified and the world can be open to His Holy Healing.    

Every judgment thought slams a door on God.  Every acceptance thought opens a heart and lets Him in. Every forgiveness thought radiates love and heals the world a little more.

This is our moment to banish judgment and welcome healing through forgiveness and love. Let’s join hands and minds and hearts and do it! “Forgiveness offers everything I want.” A Course In Miracles

“I cannot see two worlds.” A Course In Miracles

“Give me the strength to see only God’s world.”

Two Worlds One belongs to fear. The other one to God.

We cannot hate and love at once.  When hate is in our heart, love disappears.  When love is felt, hate does not exist.  What Child of God can choose to see themselves as fear-filled and separate from their Creator and their brothers and sisters through dissension when another choice, the choice of Oneness is offered them?

A song sung in harmony with many voices rising together is much more powerful than a single voice lamenting all alone.

One hand cannot clap.  One hand cannot join.  But many voices and many hands joined in harmony can change the world’s complexion and bring light to all eyes and beautiful sound to every ear.

Our power is in our Oneness.  Our power is not in fighting for what we think is right, but in joining together, and lifting our minds and hearts to God and letting Him decide.  God will not show us anything in the world. He will not say one Child of God is right and another is wrong. He will not take sides with His children.  Instead He will show us the world transformed. Transformed by kindness and compassion. Transformed by Love. He will show us our opinions are not the truth of us. Our Oneness is.

He will show us how stillness brings joy and how silence allows us to hear another Voice and a better way of being in the world. The things we fight for will fade away into nothingness when we let His Voice speak through us and for us.  And all will be at peace with the results of His Plan in place of ours.

Anger and fear are not conducive to correcting a wounded heart and a suffering world.  They only make things worse.  True correction comes through an open mind, a gentle thought, and a quiet spirit where God’s Voice can lead us on our path to healing through kindness and through tolerance, through forgiveness and through love. That is strength.  That is power.  That is truth.  That is all there really is.

One World.  God’s World. That’s the one we want.

“Fear is gone from every face as hearts rise up to claim the light.” A Course In Miracles

“I will claim my light today.”

We get caught up in how things look, having forgotten how things are. We think how they look and how they are, are one and the same. We need only open our heart and ask for help to see with our inner eye and listen with our inner ear if we really want to learn what is true and what is not.

Love is true. Fear is not.

Darkness cannot long survive in the Light of God’s Holy Truth. We are God’s Light created in Love holy, unchanging and eternal. By following our true path we are now teachers for God and examples for our brothers and sisters. Together we will be lifted to our highest place by our new trust and belief in ourselves and in each other. And through this trust we will join as one in seeing the truth of our own perfect light.

This world will be a brand new place. Though it may look the same on the outside, inside of us, we will know it is different. God’s Laws of pure Love will govern this new/old world and bring harmony and balance and peace and happiness and abundance to all. We will not be deceived by lingering symptoms of small fears and traces of shadowy darkness, but will see through them to the Light of God on the other side.

Smiles will light every face and joy will flow through every heart. We will laugh at the past as we celebrate in this heavenly eternal moment side by side and hand in hand.

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

“Forgiveness is the only sane response. It keeps your rights from being sacrificed.” A Course In Miracles

“My heart surrenders and forgives all things today.”

Forgiveness is the opposite of judgment. Forgiveness means surrendering everything to God. Forgiveness is living in the light, breathing in the beauty of the world and allowing our blessings to flow and flow and flow. It’s not about condoning, it’s about compassion.

It’s about letting go of the past and living fully in each moment. It’s about praying, “God, I don’t know what this is all about so I give it to you for Your Holy Understanding.” We mustn’t be afraid to let go of all we think we need to cling to here. Clinging to our past thinking is what causes all our pain. Letting go frees us to fly.

To protect ourselves, we grasp onto our fears and judgments with tight fists. We are terrified that letting them go will be the cause of our destruction. We will not be punished for surrendering our fears and judgments. Instead, we will be rewarded with joyful and amazing experiences filled with miracles. The only true justice is God’s justice and it is nothing like our own for it comes from pure Love and nothing else.

Let’s remember our protection is in God, not in ourselves. As a Child of His Light, we are so far above our petty thinking that it is inconceivable that we should allow one unkind or unloving thought to keep us imprisoned in pain a moment longer.

If we understood who we really are, we would gladly let all the nonsense go and fall to our knees with tears of gratitude. His light would wash away all darkness, pain and suffering caused by our tight fisted attachment to our silly judgments of ourselves and others. We think we know everything, when actually we know nothing. All that is asked of us is a tiny willingness to let go of what we do not know and do not want or need while we walk with Him in happy peace and in calm and quiet confidence.

”Above all else I want to see things differently. God is in everything I see.  God is in everything I see because God is in my mind.” A Course In Miracles

“I will see all things through God’s Eyes today.”

Instead of cringing in expectation of bad news, we are learning to expect good news. Understanding is dawning on us that bad news is simply the way to good news. Disasters can be used as opportunities for healing, joining and miracles of kindness and compassion. We are learning and growing as we offer ourselves as helpers. As we lift everyone in prayer. As we choose to see the peace and light of God through the darkness and the danger.

Start in the morning even before you open your eyes with “I awake with joy expecting only the happy things of God to come to me today.“

We need only calm our thoughts and ask for help to see the peace and light of God. And when help reaches us we are so happy to see that it is beautiful on the other side of pain and darkness. The truth of humankind is holy and amazing and wondrous and beyond words.

It’s true! Our holiness and innocence are guaranteed by God. We are healing, healing, healing, forever healing. Quietly and continually, we are more and more aware. We are learning our true lesson here which is that we can trust God.  We are waking to the truth.

As we climb out of fear God offers us a Hand up. And when we are so deep into our fear and doubt that we cannot see His Hand, He carries us. But either way, He is with us always. Always, always, always and forever helping us to heal and heal and heal. Quietly and constantly God is the Light shining on our path to constant peace. Now we are seeing differently.  And our trust in God is strengthened immeasurably.

“Happiness is an attribute of love. My happiness and my function are one.” A Course In Miracles

“Today I will practice happiness. Happiness is my purpose here.”

What the heck, why not be happy?  We know we want it.  It’s really all everyone wants. No matter how extremely we act out against ourselves and others or how fiercely we try to protect ourselves from others, we really just want to feel peace and safety right here, right now.  For ourselves and all our loved ones.

Just as we allow the sun and rain to keep our gardens healthy, so must we allow the nourishment and light of loving thoughts to shine away our fear for the healing of our minds and hearts.

We must decide for peace. 
We must choose joy.

“… happiness belongs to you.” A Course In Miracles

We are not the victim of a cruel and angry, unpredictable world.  Instead we have victimized ourselves by choosing our negative thinking and separating ourselves from our brothers and sisters through judgment and unkind words and thoughts. 

“Now are we saved indeed. For In God’s Hands we rest untroubled, sure that only good can come to us. No longer is the world our enemy, for we have chosen that we be its Friend.” A Course In Miracles

So why not be happy?  What else have we got to do?

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

“ All this beauty will rise to bless your sight as you look upon the world with forgiving eyes. For forgiveness literally transforms vision, and lets you see the real world reaching quietly and gently across chaos, removing all illusions that had twisted your perception and fixed it on the past. The smallest leaf becomes a thing of wonder, and a blade of grass a sign of God’s perfection.”  A Course In Miracles

 “I will believe in my perfection today.”

If we believed in our own inner beauty and our own perfection as God created us, we would be incapable of fear, or guilt or judgment against another or of feeling judged or attacked by others. Because our own certainty of who we really are would only allow us to see God’s light in us and everyone and everything.

Then bullying would be impossible because the bully and the bullied would both recognize how insane it is to use mean words or other absurd weapons to try to harm God’s Holy Creation. It would be like throwing pebbles at the sun. All hurtful words would be recognized as simply not the truth and the victims would merely shrug it off and go on about their business.

Attack would be unknown because the attacker and the attacked would laugh at the silliness of trying to harm a perfect creation of a Powerful, Divine Creator. And no one would care one whit what is said about them that is not in alignment with their Truth as a Child of God.  What isn’t true can only affect us if we let it.

Judgment would be unheard of because the judger and the judged would see that only God can judge and He does so in total Love. 

Now, we can give ourselves permission to believe in the highest within us. In fact at some point, we must.  Because it is the truth.  We cannot live in a false world with false beliefs forever. 

We are God’s Creation. Because of this, all but our perfection is false.  When we are ready we will see this for ourselves.  Until we are ready, God will hold our light, our beauty and our truth in His Heart. No matter how long it takes.

May we walk in peace today knowing we are blessed and we can bless, healed and we can heal, saved and we can save. No matter what anyone thinks or says or does, none of it is true unless it comes from Love, God’s Love.

Who are you? 

You are the ever present Oneness of me and all our brothers and sisters created by a Loving God. 

You are the light that happens in my mind when I think of you. 

You are the joy in my heart when I remember who I am. 

You are the Love in which I rest when I want to be at peace.

You are wise and wonderful as well as pure and perfect innocence all in one place. 

You are not the question, but the answer. 

You are YOU, the SELF, the vast eternal perfect SELF in which I see myself reflected whenever I remember to look. 

You are the One for Whom I have searched my entire life. 

You are my teacher, my brother/sister and me at our Source. 

You are the one on whom the Divine Universe smiles in eternal recognition and says, “Rest in ME. You are home now.  At last you have come home.”

Who would go anywhere, if peace of mind is already complete?” A Course In Miracles

“I will live in this moment, Now.”

A prayer for this and every day.

Now that I’m on the other side of yesterday, I feel the possibilities for peace.
Now that I’m on this side of tomorrow, I see the hopefulness for happiness.
Now that I am in the center of this moment, I see the certainty of Love.

Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow isn’t here.
Now is all there is.

“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 Son He shines upon, who also shines on Him. How still is he who knows the truth of what God speaks today!” ACIM

NOW is the Home of Love and Peace and Joy.

“You can indeed laugh at fear thoughts.” A Course In Miracles

“Today I will remember to laugh a lot.”

It’s time to lighten up and laugh more.  There is way too much taken too seriously in this world and in our relationships with each other, in our politics and in our opinions of ourselves and others. Let’s not bring all that intensity into our home and serve it for dinner to our family.  It can cause indigestion and sleepless nights.  And nightmares for the children.  Laughter is the great healer. We must take its medicine liberally and use it often.

“You see what you expect and you expect what you invite.” A Course In Miracles

“I will walk in the light of my own holiness today.”

To truly see yourself, don’t look in the mirror, look inside your heart. Don’t measure yourself by the opinions and judgments of others. Measure yourself by God’s Grace and His Light in you. That is where your beauty lies; where your kindness, your empathy and your generosity abide. This is where your voice sings arias to the Angels and you are able, in calm and quiet peace, to listen to the silence of God’s own Heart speaking constantly of your holiness.

You are an artist of the spirit, a poet of the soul, a creation of delight and joy, at one with all the Universe. Inside you Love lives, a constant flame to be fanned by trust and shared with all. And it is there that healing is always happening.

Look and laugh and rejoice at your true nature, your real Self and see your Truth. If you find your vision blocked by fear, anger, sadness, anxiety, worry … LOOK AGAIN!  And choose another way of seeing. Remember, we see what we invite or allow in to our space. So invite in Truth and be grateful for your sweet essence and your holy presence.  The truth will set you free.

Now you are an instrument of peace and a teacher of God.  Now you are serving your purpose as a healer of the world.

Invite and see this: “I am the light of the world.”  A Course In Miracles  Repeat often.

May you walk in the light of your own holiness today knowing you are blessed and a blessing in the world.

“For He would offer you the thanks you give, since He receives your gifts in loving gratitude, and gives them back a thousand and a hundred thousand more than they were given. He will bless your gifts by sharing them with you. And so they grow in power and in strength, until they fill the world with gladness and with gratitude.” A Course In Miracles

“I will be grateful for everything today.”

There are some things it is difficult to be grateful for.  A challenging relationship, extreme weather conditions, the loss of a job, too much grass to mow, an illness, a pandemic.  And yet each and every experience is here to teach us something. In this sense gratitude for everything is appropriate and even helpful because it opens our mind to another way of thinking. It also offers us the opportunity to grow past each lesson, bringing us closer to peace and healing. When we are grateful, we open our minds and hearts to a higher place within us. Instead of letting fear be in control of our lives, now love is in control.  Love makes everything easier and gentler and clearer.

It is easy to be grateful for a beautiful sunset, hummingbirds in the flower bed, a perfect rose, a laughing baby, the gentle lapping of an ocean wave across our toes.  But now let’s try to  be grateful for the guy who cuts us off in traffic, the boss who doesn’t appreciate us, the co-worker who gossips about us, the spouse who doesn’t understand, the friend with whom we’ve grown apart, and the giant pot hole we didn’t see until too late. If we can be grateful for these things, our life will change, moving quickly toward healing and happiness. Before long we will see everything as an opportunity for forgiveness and new thinking.  Then we will get it as we realize that no matter what is happening around us we can still be at peace.

“Truth answers every call we make to God
Responding first with miracles and then
Returning us to be itself.” A Course In Miracles.

Every prayer of the heart is answered clearly and instantly though we may not realize it. The noise and density of the world and our clouded thinking may keep us from our answers. Our personal expectations and our fears limit our hearing almost to nothing at times.

Nevertheless God’s Truth shines loud and clear even when we’re unaware. Only a calm and quiet heart and an open, accepting mind can hear the answers that we seek so desperately. And yet they are as near as the air we breathe and live constantly inside. Just like God Himself.

We are reassured that hallucinations of an insane world end with God. From this place of Love we see what wondrous ideas come to us that we have never thought before; answers to questions, solutions to problems that we kept hidden because we forgot to let Him be our guide. There is a loving answer for everything.  No exceptions.  But to access the answers we must be quiet; listening and watchful for the miracles all around us. “God is only Love and therefore so am I.” A Course In Miracles

“Choose once again if you would take your place among the saviors of the world…” A Course In Miracles

“Help me choose again today.”

The beauty of our power from God is that we can choose again. In every moment of every day and in every relationship and every experience we can make another choice.

If we have felt fear or anger, guilt or sadness or judgment we can ask for help to see everything and everyone differently.

When we ask for help we must then be still and listen for the answers. God always has the answer and it’s always the right answer; the only answer.  His answer provides resolutions that bring peace and healing to every side.  What we can’t see, He will gladly show us.

God’s answer brings peace and joy to us and to all. His answer floods our hearts with pure love. This is the Love that guides us on our path and lights our way to fulfilling our holy destiny.

This is the Love that shows us a different world from the one we thought we knew. This Love rewrites our story giving us not just a happy ending, but a glorious beginning and middle too. This Love ensures there is no ending just a happy now.

All the answers to all our questions are in God. His Answer shows us that our questions are too small. His Answer encompasses our Holy truth and gently guides us on a path where only miracles are found.

As we take His hand and offer ourselves to Him for guidance, words dissolve, concerns are gone, darkness disappears and only Light remains. In that stillness that fills our being us, we understand what we didn’t understand before. All good things are not only possible, but are actually accomplished.

And all we need do is choose again.

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

When we ask for help, answers will be given us.

But we must listen without urgency.

We must question without expectations.

We must wait without time constraints.

We must trust without limits.

We must see through God’s eyes only.

If we tell God what we want instead of letting Him tell us, we are closing the channel to His Perfect answer and He can’t give us what we really need. What we really need is what we really want, but we don’t always know it until it is given us. We think we know and we scurry here and there trying to make things go “our” way. But we can’t manipulate perfection and trying only gets us in trouble. Or at the very least gives us less than we deserve and not what we really want at all.

Our plans must be made with Him to be the perfect plans.  Listening is the only way to hear His Plan for us.

“The morning star of this new day looks on a different world where God is welcomed and His Children with Him.” A Course In Miracles

“I will welcome God today.” 

The ego tells us to conquer the world; to defend ourselves and protect ourselves no matter what the cost.  God wants us to allow Him to transform us and the world.  No conquering necessary. How can the ego fight God and His Divine Universe?  The Divine Universe doesn’t even recognize the ego.  It simply sees through it like looking through fog to the Light of Love beyond.

“Above all else I want to see things differently.” A Course In Miracles

Love and fear don’t live together. Love lives on the inside. Fear lives on the outside.  The power for miracles and healing is within.  It’s as simple as that. Trust in Him and God will lay down our arms and replace them with Love. He will take the wheel and free us to enjoy the ride.  He will gently lift us above the fray and transform our experiences to be loving and joyous and perfect.  And this will be done with great kindness and deep compassion. Now war is done and only Love lives on.

“I am determined to see things differently.” A Course In Miracles

The morning star of our new world shines in our hearts and through our smiles. We know we are safe wherever we are because God has transformed a dangerous experience into one of perfect safety and holiness and happiness for all. And we rest quietly under a canopy of evening stars as we truly see things differently.

“I will keep the faith and ask God for guidance today.”

In times like these all we can do is keep the faith.

Have faith that no matter how it looks Love is more powerful than fear.

Have faith that God is here quietly making corrections.

Have faith that forgiveness heals and kindness works miracles.

Have faith that we must be the peacemakers, the eye of the storm, the quiet center where healing flows through.

Have faith that because violence breeds violence getting angry only makes things worse.

Have faith that even if our heart is broken God can and will mend it.

Have faith that our thoughts are powerful, so we must choose them wisely.

Have faith that healing love is flowing through this world at a powerful rate even if we can’t see it with the naked eye.

Have faith that losing a loved one, though excruciatingly painful for us, is simply a transition for them.

Have faith that the past, the present and the future are in God’s Hands if we will give them all to Him.

Have faith, not in the insanity of the world, but in the Sanity of a Loving, Living God.

Remember the old saying, anger and fear are the same as drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.  Now, isn’t that an insane way to live?

We are not separate from our sisters and our brothers. We cannot wish to take something from someone else and not find ourselves feeling deprived. We cannot wish ill upon anyone and not bring ill upon ourselves.  We cannot judge another without judging ourselves. It is not a punishment, but simply the Divine Law of Oneness. It’s like severing a finger or knocking ourselves over the head with a rock. Why would we do that? It’s gonna hurt because it is our own self we are attacking.

By this same law we cannot bless anyone without blessing ourselves.  We cannot truly love another without bestowing this same love upon our own self.

The Basic Law of Oneness is from God. How we choose to use it belongs to us. And therein lies our power which we call free will. Use God’s Law as He intended it in forgiveness, kindness and compassion then happiness and abundance will be forever ours. It’s only when we use our free will in a way that God did not choose that we get ourselves in trouble. It’s not God’s will that we hurt ourselves by hurting others. He doesn’t even understand it. And why would He? It makes no sense.

Feel everything going right today as you go about your day with calm and quiet confidence, an open mind and loving heart happily obeying God’s Law of Oneness.

Let our prayer be for healing and health and safety for all the world. Let us ask for help with kindness and love and trust to generate the health and wellness, safety and peace of mind we want for every man, woman and child on earth. And then let us be grateful and say Thank You, God!

“ … let your thoughts fly to the peace within.” A Course In Miracles

“I am willing to fly today.”

Why crawl with caterpillars when we can soar as butterflies?  It is necessary to be a caterpillar and a cocoon before we can be a butterfly. It’s all part of the learning, growing process. But sometimes, out of fear, we stay in the caterpillar and cocoon stage much longer than we should. How long must we trap ourselves in a cocoon? When it becomes painful, that may be our sign that it is time to learn to fly.  

What if we breathe into that feeling of being trapped and constricted and frustrated and envision something else? Freedom. Not just freedom of the body, but freedom of the mind and heart.  Now, we are allowing a new and holy vision of ourselves. This vision leads beyond caterpillars and beyond cocoons.

Let’s let our minds grow still and our hearts become calm as we smile at the beauty of this new experience in this moment, on this higher plane. Now let’s come back to earth, look around us with new eyes and see, not a small creature that crawls, nor one stuck in a cocoon of fear and doubt, but a beautiful and wondrous creation who is capable of flying to greater heights than we ever knew.

In experiences we may all be at the caterpillar stage or the cocoon stage or the butterfly stage at different times and then go back and forth again and again.  It isn’t our job to judge the different stages of our brothers’ and sisters’ learning, growing process or even our own.  Our true job is to be a light in the world, an example of kindness and forgiveness, an instrument of peace. And one day we will look up and the sky will be amassed with beautiful winged creatures. And we will be among them.
