My thoughts* on ACIM Workbook Lesson 223, for August 10, 2024. God is my life. I have no life but His.

God is my life. I have no life but His.

* This is what I claim as mine because God is all that there could be or He would not be God. I did not always believe that. Today, nothing else makes sense.

1. I was mistaken when I thought I lived apart from God, a separate entity that moved in isolation, unattached, and housed within a body.

* I am learning to walk in this witness. Even errors have become instruments of the wholly Spirit.

²Now I know my life is God’s, I have no other home, and I do not exist apart from Him.

³He has no Thoughts that are not part of me, and I have none but those which are of Him.

* I do not understand this to mean that either God or me, no longer exist but that we are not separate or divided.

* Don’t we have to JUSTIFY our existence? Especially when we believe there is NOTHING outside of God? NO. To whom would we justify ourselves because we are in and of God. The Spirit is Guiding us, and we can TRUST HIM.

* Confidence in this increases over time and is challenged, as well.

2. Our Father, let us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes.

²For we who are Your holy Son are sinless.

³We would look upon our sinlessness, for guilt proclaims that we are not Your Son.

⁴And we would not forget You longer.

⁵We are lonely here, and long for Heaven, where we are at home.

* I am in that today as I walk solely in the REALITY of God, the Father and His Son.

⁶Today we would return.

⁷Our Name is Yours, and we acknowledge that we are Your Son.

* It feels like being “holier than thou” doesn’t it? It is not though because you understand that everyone else is there as well, they just do not know it yet.

* Trust me, I DO NOT have all the answers. I am learning along with you.
