I will not fear to look within today.
Within me is eternal innocence, because it is God’s Will that it be there forever and forever. I, His Son, whose will is limitless as is His Own, can will no change in this. For to deny my Father’s Will is to deny my own. To look within is but to find my will as God created it, and as it is. I fear to look within because I think I made another will that is not true, and made it real. Yet it has no effects. Within me is the Holiness of God. Within me is the memory of Him.
The step I take today, my Father, is my sure release from idle dreams of sin. Your altar stands serene and undefiled. It is the holy altar to my Self, and there I find my true Identity. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 309, W-pII.309. See also ACIM Lesson 309 Insights.)
Here is an exercise that can help us remember that God is in us and we share God’s Will.
Pause and quiet your mind. Think of someone you love — a spouse, child, sibling, close friend…
Mentally say, “I see the Holiness of God in you.” Pause to absorb the feeling that comes as you accept this idea…
You may find it helpful to repeat the idea.…
Then think another person you are acquainted with and mentally say, “I see the Holiness of God in you.” Pause to let this way of seeing strengthen
Repeat the idea as guided.…
Then pick someone you think of as an adversary and say, “I see the Holiness of God in you.” Again, allow time for this way of seeing strengthen for you…
This practice will help us remember that God is in us and His Will is ours.
