My thoughts* on ACIM Urtext Lesson 361 for 27-31 December 2023. I Give This Holy Instant to God

This holy instant would I give to You. Be You in charge. For I would follow You, certain that Your direction gives me peace.

* While we believe that “evil” could be real ANYWHERE, we will NOT be willing to listen to that Voice from God within for fear that it is “EVIL.”

* For how would WE KNOW? We do understand our own weaknesses without God, even while we are paying what appears to be full and complete homage to the ”frightened ego” whom we worship in place of God, the Father and Creator of All That Is.

* We rely on God for all that is. Even our VERY BEING. I would that God IS before I desire that I AM, however, within that the REALITY that IS God I AM.

1. And if I need a word to help me, He will give it to me.

* Yes, He has.

²If I need a thought, that will He also give.

* Yes, He has through the Power of the Holy Spirit within my heart and mind.

³And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the gifts I will receive of Him.

* Thank you, Father, for your compassion and attention to this the least among the children of men by their estimation, anyway.

⁴He is in charge by my request.

* Me, “I,” do exist by God’s Design and Decree.

⁵And He will hear and answer me, because He speaks for God my Father and His holy Son.

* I alone am able to choose to hear and feel the witness and promptings of the Holy Spirit within my heart and mind.

* This I do as I remember, “This holy instant would I give to You. Be You in charge. For I would follow You, certain that Your direction gives me peace.”
