This holy instant would I give to You.
Be You in charge. For I would follow You,
Certain that Your direction gives me peace.And if I need a word to help me, He will give it to me. If I need a thought, that will He also give. And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the gifts I will receive of Him. He is in charge by my request. And He will hear and answer me, because He speaks for God my Father and His holy Son. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 361,W-pII.361-365. See also ACIM Lesson 361 Insights.)
The choice to put the Holy Spirit in charge is the choice for inner peace and happiness. The ego also tells us that it knows how to find happiness. The problem is that the ego denies the Source of true happiness. Thus the ego’s direction always leads us on a fruitless search to find what it cannot find.
When we let go of following the ego’s direction and accept the Holy Spirit’s guidance, we are on the path to finding true and lasting happiness and peace. The affirmation in this lesson, committed to wholeheartedly, is the means to free ourselves from the fear and guilt of this world. It is the means to find our way back to our Home in the peace and joy of God.
