I. The Gifts of Fatherhood, P 11

11 You are asked to trust the Holy Spirit only because He speaks for you. He is the Voice for God, but never forget that God did not will to be alone. He shares His Will with you; He does not thrust it upon you. Always remember that what He gives He keeps, so that nothing He gives can contradict Him. You who share His life must share it to know it, for sharing is knowing. Blessed are you who learn that to hear the Will of your Father is to know your own. For it is your will to be like Him, Whose Will it is that it be so. God’s Will is that His Son be one, and united with Him in His Oneness. That is why healing is the beginning of the recognition that your will is His.

God shares His Will with me; he does not thrust it upon me. What a different vision of God we are given, than is the one we typically learn about in traditional religion. This is a God of peace and joy, a God of sharing. I want to know the Will of God because I want to know this God of Love. And I want to know my own will and my own Self. If I share the Will of God, then knowing my true will is the same as knowing God, and knowing the Will of God will teach me what I am.

I have been given the way back to God. It is the Holy Spirit, which was placed in my mind for that purpose. His function is to speak God’s Word to me, to guide me, to comfort me, and to heal my mind. All that is needed from me is that I desire to have this. Nothing is thrust upon me, not even my happiness.

This day, I pray for guidance and I pray for the Word of God to be given me. I open my heart and my mind to this. Today’s lesson says this:

Lesson 233
I give my life to God to guide today.
Father, I give You all my thoughts today. I would have none of mine. In place of them, give me Your Own. I give You all my acts as well, that I may do Your Will instead of seeking goals which cannot be obtained, and wasting time in vain imaginings. Today I come to You. I will step back and merely follow You. Be You the Guide, and I the follower who questions not the wisdom of the Infinite, nor Love whose tenderness I cannot comprehend, but which is yet Your perfect gift to me.

Today we have one Guide to lead us on. And as we walk together, we will give this day to Him with no reserve at all. This is His day. And so it is a day of countless gifts and mercies unto us.

What a perfect lesson this is for me today. I give my thoughts to Him, and I accept His perfect gift to me. This is His day and it is a day of countless gifts and mercies. Thank you, God. I love you, God.
