What can I seek for, Father, but Your Love? Perhaps I think I seek for something else; a something I have called by many names. Yet is Your Love the only thing I seek, or ever sought. For there is nothing else that I could ever really want to find. Let me remember You. What else could I desire but the truth about myself?
Father, I give You all my thoughts today. I would have none of mine. In place of them, give me Your Own. I give You all my acts as well, that I may do Your Will instead of seeking goals which cannot be obtained, and wasting time in vain imaginings. Today I come to You. I will step back and merely follow You. Be You the Guide, and I the follower who questions not the wisdom of the Infinite, nor Love whose tenderness I cannot comprehend, but which is yet Your perfect gift to me. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 231, W-pII.231.1;233.1. See also ACIM Lesson 231 Insights.)
Our thoughts, words and actions in the world are based on the belief in the ego’s thought system of being separate from Love. This belief leaves us feeling a need for Love. But if we follow the ego’s directives, we seek for Love in many forms only to come up empty handed. Love cannot be found in the thought system that denies the oneness of Love.
The choice to accept God’s guidance for our thoughts, our words and our actions is the choice to remember our true Self as God created It. The thoughts of the ego are illusions, vain imaginings, which have no effect on Reality. Only our real thoughts are shared with God. These real thoughts are Love’s extension.
The dedication to following the guidance of the Infinite is the recognition that our will is the same as God’s Will. His Love is all we really want and all we really are. The practice of offering all our thoughts in the world to God with willingness to let them be replaced with thoughts of Love, peace and happiness is our journey of awakening. It is the way we remember God, we remember Love.
