I place the future in the Hands of God.
Accept today’s idea, and you have passed all anxiety, all pits of hell, all blackness of depression, thoughts of sin, and devastation brought about by guilt. ²Accept today’s idea, and you have released the world from all imprisonment by loosening the heavy chains that locked the door to freedom on it. ³You are saved, and your salvation thus becomes the gift you give the world, because you have received.
In no one instant is depression felt, or pain experienced or loss perceived. ²In no one instant sorrow can be set upon a throne, and worshipped faithfully. ³In no one instant can one even die. ⁴And so each instant given unto God in passing, with the next one given Him already, is a time of your release from sadness, pain and even death itself.
Release the future. ²For the past is gone, and what is present, freed from [the past’s] bequest of grief and misery, of pain and loss, becomes the instant in which time escapes the bondage of illusions where it runs its pitiless, inevitable course. ³Then is each instant which was slave to time transformed into a holy instant, when the light that was kept hidden in God’s Son is freed to bless the world. ⁴Now is he free, and all his glory shines upon a world made free with him, to share his holiness. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 194, W-194.2-3,5. See also ACIM Lesson 194 Insights.)
God’s Will for His Son is perfect happiness. When we put God in charge of our future, we are accepting His gift of happiness. We are willing to let the past go and no longer project a future based on our perceived past. When we place the future in the hands of God, we disconnect from the ego’s scripts. We cease to repeat illusions of the past where loss and harm are believed real. This script is used to maintain a mistaken belief that it is possible to lose the Love of God.
Today we gratefully place the future in God’s hands, confident that He will lead us to the peace and joy of our true Home in the Heart of Love.
