My thoughts* on ACIM Urtext Lesson 353 for 19 December 2023.

My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today have but one purpose; to be given Christ to use to bless the world with miracles.

* Oh my! Did I need to hear THIS today!

* Yes, thank you! As I stand as the observer of the world of form from the place of the Atonement I welcome God’s Love into the presence of the Son of God of Whom we all are.

1. Father, I give all that is mine today to Christ, to use in any way that best will serve the purpose that I share with Him.

* Hmm. I could look at Christ in this sentence as being the “Whole” that is found in the Holy Spirit because This is to Whom I look for Guidance in my “being.”

²Nothing is mine alone, for He and I have joined in purpose.

* I am grateful for this reminder.

³Thus has learning come almost to its appointed end.

* I “give up” learning and clinging to this world of confusion to yield to the Guidance of the Holy Spirit.

⁴A while I work with Him to serve His purpose.

* This is a “time” thing. Time will vacillate in this differently for each of us depending on our role and what we chose to learn here. All of this is incorporated in the Atonement but it is also something that ebbs and flows within the Universal Plan that is still in process.

⁵Then I lose myself in my Identity, and recognize that Christ is but my Self.

* I lose my attachment to the image and costume that I created through MY frightened ego and will eventually let go of the image and costume that others have created of me through their frightened egos as well.

* Seeing all as Christ has been a beautiful transition for me. In my soul, it is “Christmas” every day.
