ACIM Workbook Lesson Review* #362, for 27 December 2024 This holy instant would I give to You. * I give this and every instant WHOLLY to Father.
This holy instant would I give to You.
* I give this and every instant WHOLLY to Father.
Be You in charge.
* I would acknowledge that Father IS IN CHARGE, AND THAT THIS IS MY WILL, AS WELL AS HIS.
For I would follow You, certain that Your direction gives me peace.
* Amen and amen.
1. And if I need a word to help me, He will give it to me.
* He Guides my speech. Wow. I LOVE that! Now to trust it more. I have spent the past few years learning that this is so and it still blows my mind, but He will be there, and He will correct me when I step beyond the “mark.” Mostly it is just “get out of the way and let Him Live through my being” even as I understand that most of what I witness here is “fake” and that I know nothing about what is what.
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 receive this and am often aware of it at times I would otherwise be in distress.
* I cannot tell you what it is like because it is something that you need to experience to understand but it is real and cherished when a decade or two earlier, I would have been “falling apart” or feeling desperate to find answers that were not mine to possess. Absolutely.
⁴He is in charge by my request.
* Yes. Accepting the Atonement (in March of 2020) sealed that conviction within my own mind and opened the door for Father to teach me through SPIRIT on levels that I had not before experienced.
⁵And He will hear and answer me, because He speaks for God my Father and His holy (*WHOLLY) Son.
* Well, if y’all want to lean on the idea that SPIRIT is Who is being spoken of there as is suggested in #5, go ahead. I prefer to Acknowledge Father OUTRIGHT as the director of my existence through SPIRIT.
* Yes, SPIRIT is “my Father’s Voice and His holy (*WHOLLY) Son” united but there is a difference.
* I read it in the Urtext the other day, Father is NOT the same as the Son, but one can say “like Father, like Son.”
* I choose to have Father exist and express through me. This brings me my Greatest JOY. I know that I have a lot of work to do to clear out the mental roadblocks that the “fake god” Christ imagined put before us, but I also FEEL the Witness of the True Father WITHIN and that is worth everything to me.
* This concept will be reviewed for three more days as we conclude our year in the Workbook. I look forward to expressing the Joy that I have found in the Presence and Witness of the Acceptance of Father.
