Have confidence in your Creator today & be certain that He has heard you & answered you. You may not recognize His answer yet, but you can indeed be sure that it is given you & you will yet receive it. Try, as you attempt to go through the clouds to the light, to hold this confidence in your mind.

The peace of God is shining in me now. I will be still, and let the earth be still along with me. And in that stillness we will find the peace of God. It is within my heart, which witnesses to God Himself. acim W208

The holy instant does not come from your little willingness alone. It is always the result of your small willingness combined with the unlimited power of God’s Will. You have been wrong in thinking that it is needful to prepare yourself for Him. It is impossible to make arrogant preparations..

I do not perceive my own best interests. How could I recognize my own best interests when I do not know who I am? What I think are my best interests would merely bind me closer to the world of illusions.

Happy dreams come true, not because they are dreams, but only because they are happy. And so they must be loving. Their message is, “Thy Will be done,” and not, “I want it otherwise.” The alignment of means and purpose is an undertaking impossible for you to understand.

Forgiveness is a choice. I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception. What I see in him is merely what I wish to see, because it stands for what I want to be the truth. It is to this alone that I respond, however much I seem to be impelled by outside happenings.

Today we would remove all meaningless and self-made gifts which we have placed upon the holy altar where God’s gifts belong. His are the gifts that are our own in truth. His are the gifts that we inherited before time was, and that will still be ours when time has passed into eternity.

Determine, then, to be not as you were. Use no relationship to hold you to the past, but with each one each day be born again. A minute, even less, will be enough to free you from the past, and give your mind in peace over to the Atonement.

There is a stranger in our midst, who comes from an idea so foreign to the truth he speaks a different language, looks upon a world truth does not know, and understands what truth regards as senseless. Stranger yet, he does not recognize to whom he comes..

Today escape from madness You are set on freedom’s road & now today’s idea brings wings to speed you on &hope to go still faster to the waiting goal of peace Remember this today & tell yourself as often as you can: God’s Will for me is perfect happiness This is the truth because there is no sin acim

You who have tried to banish love have not succeeded, but you who choose to banish fear must succeed. The Lord is with you, but you know it not. Yet your Redeemer liveth, and abideth in you in the peace out of which He was created. Would you not exchange this awareness for the awareness of fear?

Forgiveness lets the veil be lifted up that hides the face of Christ from those who look with unforgiving eyes upon the world. It lets you recognize the Son of God, and clears your memory of all dead thoughts so that remembrance of your Father can arise across the threshold of your mind.

Myths and magic are closely associated, since myths are usually related to ego origins, and magic to the powers the ego ascribes to itself. Mythological systems generally include some account of “the creation,” and associate this with its particular form of magic.

I rule my mind, which I alone must rule. acim W236

Whatever lies you may believe are of no concern to the miracle, which can heal any of them with equal ease It makes no distinctions among misperceptions Its sole concern is to distinguish between truth on the one hand & error on the other Some miracles may seem to be of greater magnitude than others

Such is the choice What loss can be for you in choosing not to value nothingness? This world holds nothing that you really want but what you choose instead you want indeed Let it be given you today It waits but for your choosing it To take the place of all the things you seek but dont want acim W129

Let no dark sign of crucifixion intervene between the journey and its purpose; between the acceptance of the truth and its expression. This week we celebrate life, not death. And we honor the perfect purity of the Son of God, and not his sins.

This is the way salvation works. As you step back, the light in you steps forward and encompasses the world. It heralds not the end of sin in punishment and death. In lightness and in laughter is sin gone, because its quaint absurdity is seen.

As miracles in this world join you to your brothers, so do your creations establish your fatherhood in Heaven. You are the witness to the Fatherhood of God, and He has given you the power to create the witnesses to yours, which is as His.

My holiness envelops everything I see. Close your eyes and repeat the idea for today several times, slowly. Then open your eyes and look quite slowly about you, applying the idea specifically to whatever you note in your casual survey. Say, for example: My holiness envelops that rug. acim W36

Be not content with future happiness It has no meaning & is not your just reward For you have cause for freedom now What profits freedom in a prisoner’s form? Delay is senseless & the “reasoning” that would maintain effects of present cause must be delayed until a future time Is merely a denial of..

Father, I thank You for today & for the freedom I am certain it will bring This day is holy For today Your Son will be redeemed His suffering is done For he will hear Your Voice directing him to find Christ’s vision through forgiveness & be free forever from all suffering Thanks for today my Father.

A little hindrance can seem large indeed to those who do not understand that miracles are all the same Yet teaching that is what this course is for. This is its only purpose, for only that is all there is to learn & you can learn it in many different ways All learning is a help or hindrance to the..

It can be but my gratitude I earn. Who should give thanks for my salvation but myself? And how but through salvation can I find the Self to Whom my thanks are due? acim W217

My true Identity is so secure, so lofty, sinless, glorious and great, wholly beneficent & free from guilt, that Heaven looks to It to give it light It lights the world as well It is the gift my Father gave to me; the one as well I give the world.

No one who seeks the peace of God can fail to find it. He merely asks that he deceive himself no longer by denying to himself what is God’s Will Who can remain unsatisfied who asks for what he has already? Who could be unanswered who requests an answer which is his to give The peace of God is yours.

Forgiveness brings no little miracles to lay before the gate of Heaven. Here the Son of God Himself comes to receive each gift that brings him nearer to his home. Not one is lost, and none is cherished more than any other. Each reminds him of his Father’s Love as surely as the rest.

I will not fear to look within today. Within me is eternal innocence, because it is God’s Will that it be there forever and forever. I, His Child, whose will is limitless as is His Own, can will no change in this. For to deny my Father’s Will is to deny my own.

Prayer is the medium of miracles. It is a means of communication of the created with the Creator. Through prayer love is received, and through miracles love is expressed. acim T1.I
