ACIM Workbook Lesson Review* #361–365, for 28 December 2024 This holy (*WHOLE) instant would I give to You (*HEAVENLY FATHER).
This holy instant would I give to You.
* Sometimes I forget and think there is someone else here besides Father. I could mingle with the Son in his illusion, but I cannot do that anymore. It is business only. Does this mean that love is removed or that I am stepping away from love, or play and fun? No, not for me anyway. In Father, within the Atoning Forgiveness of all that is or ever could be for a moment’s belief that separation from God might be possible I stand in Love, and I will to be taught the meaning of that by Father through SPIRIT.
* I would acknowledge that Father IS IN CHARGE AND THAT THIS IS MY WILL, AS WELL AS HIS.
* This is resting on my mind in a big way. This next couple of weeks will be interesting and challenging as I attempt to bring my work up to date and review what led me to a very peculiar journey.
For I would follow You, certain that Your direction gives me peace.
* It does, regardless of any current confusion about a situation or circumstance.
1. And if I need a word to help me, He will give it to me.
* I trust that Father has been Guiding my speech through SPIRIT. I have found myself testing the waters again and feeling that I might be “at ease” with a certain person but I have been shown that I simply do not have any capacity to go there. “Association from a distance,” as Father has taught me the past several weeks, is what is right for me with everyone. Maybe it will change in the future in form for me, but I will let Father direct that.
* I am grateful that within “business” associations courtesies and kindnesses can be extended as I witnessed over and over on my journey and from others (including my “benefactor”). I will be respectful of the association and not attempt to make it what it may never have been meant to be.
* Friendship seemed like a place where you could relax and be yourself, but I do not know that this is something that can be done with anyone in form beyond a few moments here and there. Being true to myself and listening to Father is much more important to me than thinking about how to do it with those in form anyway. AND when I do it the way Father is showing me, I sense that it is His Blessing that we are witnessing instead of that of one another who are not quite real yet anyway.
*
I know this sounds bizarre. This is how I work through what SPIRIT is sharing with me.
²If I need a thought, that will He also give.
* I cherish this truth! And I need those reminders. To remain open to the promptings and signals that SPIRIT gives me is very important to me.
³And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the gifts I will receive of Him.
* I find that he gives it to others as well.
* I am learning that if I will just be still and let SPIRIT pave the way and go before me my needs will be met in ways I could not have imagined. Bear in mind that the learning process can be very bumpy, but the outcome is so valuable.
⁴He is in charge by my request.
* Yes, Please.
⁵And He will hear and answer me, because He speaks for God my Father and His holy (*WHOLLY) Son.
* I still hear Father now.
* SPIRIT is “my Father’s Voice and His holy (*WHOLLY) Son” united but there is a difference.
