Accepting God’s Thoughts

Mary:
In our morning reading of A Course in Miracles, this is what stood out to me:

When your mood tells you that you have chosen wrongly, and this is so whenever you are not joyous, then know this need not be. In every case you have thought wrongly about some brother God created, and you are perceiving images your ego makes in a darkened glass. Think honestly what you have thought that God would not have thought, and what you have not thought that God would have you think. Search sincerely for what you have done and left undone accordingly, and then change your mind to think with God’s. (T-4.IV.2:2-5)

Because my mind and everyone’s mind is one with God’s, our natural inheritance is peace and joy. If I am not feeling peace and joy, then I am denying that my mind is one with God’s. It is such a blessing to know that I do not have to put up with the dis-spiriting thoughts of the ego. I can allow my mind to be changed by the Holy Spirit. The ego is not my identity and therefore guilt, sadness and being anxious about anything does not come from what I am in truth.

Jesus tells me to watch my mind for the temptations of the ego and not to be deceived by it. This is my practice today. I can let go of holding on to these thoughts. I can hand them over to the Holy Spirit and be returned to my natural state of peace and joy. This is my opportunity today. What a blessing!


Robert:
In my defenselessness my safety lies. This thought offers complete release from the bondage of belief in separation. If I think and want separation to be real, then I need to maintain that separation. This is done through judgment. Myriad rules and regulations have been made by which to judge and separate. As I learn to practice asking, “What is this for?” and open to the Holy Spirit’s answer, the rules that were made to maintain separation are given a new purpose. As I follow the purpose given by Holy Spirit, what was made to bind becomes the means to be free.

Today I will practice letting Holy Spirit give His purpose to all that I do. Thus will my day be a day of learning to be free. Oh happy day!
