Let this day be a day of stillness and of quiet listening.

Angels, watch my thoughts and guard my mind against my “enemies”.

Let no thoughts of anxiety, anger, fear intrude the holy Altar, Where He abides.

Let all my thoughts be quiet!

My Father wills I hear His Word. He calls to me from deep within my mind where He abides.

Let me hear Him! The world needs me to hear my Father’s Word! This world will change through me. No other means can save it, for God’s plan is simply this: The Son of God is free to save himself, given the Word of God to be His Guide, forever in his mind and at his side to lead him surely to his Father’s house by his own will, forever free as God’s. He is not led by force, but only love. He is not judged, but only sanctified.

In stillness I will hear God’s Voice today without the intrusion of my petty thoughts, without my personal desires, and without all judgment of His holy Word.

Let me not judge myself today, for what I really am, cannot be judged.

Let me not listen to the world today, but wait in silence for the Word of God.

Let me hear my Father speak. His Voice would give to me His holy Word, to spread across the world the tidings of salvation and the holy time of peace.

Angels, help me and guide me, today! Let me find time set apart from listening to the world, and gentle listen to the Word of God. He speaks from nearer than my heart to me. His Voice is closer than my hand. His Love is everything I am and that He is; the same as me, and me the same as He.

It is my voice to which I listen as He speaks to me. It is my word He speaks. It is the Word of freedom and of peace, of unity of will and purpose, with no separation nor division in the single Mind of Father and Son.

Let me listen, in quiet, to my Self today, and let Him tell me God has never left His Son, and I have never left my Self.

                                                                                                    Some thoughts based on Lesson 125

My Guest has come!

All He needed was my willingness to accept Him! And He is here, at last!

I asked Him, and He came!

I did not hear Him enter, for I did not wholly welcome Him. And yet His gifts came with Him. He  has laid them at my feet, and asks me now that I will look on them, and accept them as my own.

He needs my help in giving them to all who walk apart, believing they are separate and alone. They will be healed when I accept my gifts, because my Guest will welcome everyone whose feet have touched the holy ground whereon I stand, and where His gifts for them are laid.

My Guest is here and I accept His gifts with all my heart! I accept them and I am healed! I finally know that I am free because I am the Son of God.

Perhaps I do not see yet, how much I now can give, because of everything I have received. Yet He Who entered in but waits for me to come where I invited Him to be. Let me not hasten and keep Him waiting. There is nowhere else His gifts of peace and joy, and all the happiness His Presence brings, can be obtained.

I cannot see my Guest, but I can see His gifts. And when I look at them, I will believe His Presence must be there. For what I now can do could not be done without the Love and Grace His Presence holds.
