Father, my freedom is in You alone.
I did not understand what made me free, nor what my freedom is, nor where to look to find it. ²Father, I have searched in vain until I heard Your Voice directing me. ³Now I would guide myself no more. ⁴For I have neither made nor understood the way to find my freedom. ⁵But I trust in You. ⁶You Who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy Son will not be lost to me. ⁷Your Voice directs me, and the way to You is opening and clear to me at last. ⁸Father, my freedom is in You alone. ⁹Father, it is my will that I return.
Today we answer for the world, which will be freed along with us. ²How glad are we to find our freedom through the certain way our Father has established. ³And how sure is all the world’s salvation, when we learn our freedom can be found in God alone.” (A Course in Miracles, W-321.1:1–2:3. See also ACIM Lesson 321 Insights.)
The ego is the attempt to be independent of God. But this is like trying to run an electric appliance without plugging it into a source of electricity. There is no life independent of God because He is the source of all Life. Trying to be independent of the source of all Life is the wish for death, which could not occur except in a dream.
We imprison ourselves by accepting the ego’s dream of separation. Fortunately there is a way to wake up. God gave us His Voice, which calls to us in every moment. It is a call to return to Life, to the joy and peace of unity with our Creator. His Voice offers us help to awaken from the dream of misperceptions and see the Love that never left. We choose to listen to God’s Voice today, for we would be free of the ego’s limitations.
