Accepting the Presence of the Holy Instant

This course is not beyond immediate learning, unless you believe that what God wills takes time. And this means only that you would rather delay the recognition that His Will is so. The holy instant is this instant and every instant. The one you want it to be it is. The one you would not have it be is lost to you. You must decide when it is. Delay it not. For beyond the past and future, where you will not find it, it stands in shimmering readiness for your acceptance. Yet you cannot bring it into glad awareness while you do not want it, for it holds the whole release from littleness.

I stand within the holy instant, as clear as you would have me. And the extent to which you learn to accept me is the measure of the time in which the holy instant will be yours. I call to you to make the holy instant yours at once, for the release from littleness in the mind of the host of God depends on willingness, and not on time. (A Course in Miracles, T-15.IV.1;5)

It appears that there is much to do today. The ego would use this appearance to make complexity seem real and to stimulate anxiousness and stress.

The Holy Spirit would use this circumstance as a teaching aid to help us learn of the simplicity of Truth. The Holy Spirit would not tell us that nothing in the world needs to be done. But if we are willing to set aside our plans on how to do it, the Holy Spirit will guide us in each moment in what to do and when. It then becomes a lesson in letting go of our plans for salvation and accepting His. His plan is always peaceful and gentle, as easy as being carried down a quiet path in summer. Every instant becomes an opportunity to let peace reign and Love be extended. This is our practice for today.
