Letting the Christ in Us Take the Lead

The Christ in you is very still. He looks on what He loves, and knows it as Himself. And thus does He rejoice at what He sees, because He knows that it is one with Him and with His Father.

Rejoice you have no eyes with which to see; no ears to listen, and no hands to hold nor feet to guide. Be glad that only Christ can lend you His, while you have need of them. They are illusions, too, as much as yours. And yet because they serve a different purpose, the strength their purpose holds is given them. And what they see and hear and hold and lead is given light, that you may lead as you were led.

The Christ in you is very still. He knows where you are going, and He leads you there in gentleness and blessing all the way. His Love for God replaces all the fear you thought you saw within yourself. (A Course in Miracles, T-24.V.1:1-3;5:1-6:3. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Because the body is an illusion, we do not really have eyes, ears, hands nor feet. But we believe we do. The Christ in us is a symbol representing our true Self forever united in the oneness of God’s Love. When we put Christ in charge, our body is used for Christ’s singular purpose — to join with the truth of what we are, along with every brother. With this as our purpose, illusions fade away and fear goes with them. Peace takes their place, for nothing is seen that can possibly disrupt our unity with God.

We welcome Christ’s lead today by frequently asking in our mind, “What would the Christ in me do in this situation, or with this thought?” We let Him take the lead and bring our brother’s with us on our journey of awakening.
