Another Chance to Choose Again
Mary and Robert:
In our reading in A Course in Miracles this morning, this is what stood out to us:
The images you make cannot prevail against what God Himself would have you be. Be never fearful of temptation, then, but see it as it is; another chance to choose again, and let Christ’s strength prevail in every circumstance and every place you raised an image of yourself before. For what appears to hide the face of Christ is powerless before His majesty, and disappears before His holy sight. (T-31.VIII.4:1-3)
This reminds us that the images we see are coming from our own mind. We are always choosing between how the ego sees and Christ’s vision. It reminds us that even if we have believed in images of separation in the past, we always have another chance to choose again. It also tells us that we don’t have to feel guilty when we fall back into judgment, guilt and fear. We just need to remember that it is another chance to choose again.
This is another way of saying, “Whatever the problem, use it for awakening.” Whatever seems to show up in our lives, if it is not Love, it is a lesson in Love. We now have another opportunity to choose happiness instead of the pain of projecting guilt. We have another opportunity to remember that God’s Son is one. What a happy habit to develop!
