I have already chosen what You will.
Father, I thought I wandered from Your Will, defied it, broke its laws, and interposed a second will more powerful than Yours. ²Yet what I am in truth is but Your Will, extended and extending. ³This am I, and this will never change. ⁴As You are One, so am I one with You. ⁵And this I chose in my creation, where my will became forever one with Yours. ⁶That choice was made for all eternity. ⁷It cannot change, and be in opposition to itself. ⁸Father, my will is Yours. ⁹And I am safe, untroubled and serene, in endless joy, because it is Your Will that it be so.
Today we will accept our union with each other and our Source. ²We have no will apart from His, and all of us are one because His Will is shared by all of us. ³Through it we recognize that we are one. ⁴Through it we find our way at last to God. (A Course in Miracles, W-329. See also ACIM Lesson 329 Insights.)
Fear of God describes the constant state of the ego. It is afraid of God because it believes it is in opposition to God’s Will, because it is. But in truth, there is no will but God’s. The ego has projected its wishes on God, making God seem to demand sacrifice. This perceived sacrifice is just the ego’s projection of its demands to maintain its seeming existence.
God’s Will for us is perfect peace, happiness and changeless Love. There is no cause for fear here, unless we accept the ego’s wish to have special status, different from all others. All we need do to awaken to God’s Love is stop denying It. We are grateful that we have the means to let go of the wish for specialness and remember our initial choice to be Love, forever dwelling in God’s Love.
Everything that seems to disturb our peace can be used as an opportunity to forgive our mistaken wish and let Love be. To let Love be is to let our true Self be as God created It. We choose Love today in memory of our initial choice to accept God’s Love in our creation. With this choice, we return to our natural state, at one with our Creator.
