What worry can beset the one who gives his future to the loving Hands of God? What can he suffer? What can cause him pain, or bring experience of loss to him? What can he fear? And what can he regard except with love? For he who has escaped all fear of future pain has found his way to present peace, and certainty of care the world can never threaten. He is sure that his perception may be faulty, but will never lack correction. He is free to choose again when he has been deceived; to change his mind when he has made mistakes.
Place, then, your future in the Hands of God. For thus you call the memory of Him to come again, replacing all your thoughts of sin and evil with the truth of love. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 194, W-pI.194.7:1-8:2. See also ACIM Lesson 194 Insights.)
Think of how you would feel if you knew that every moment is held for you in perfect, changeless Love and protected by the greatest strength there is.… Think how peaceful you would feel, how filled with joy.… Think how your heart would overflow with Love and extend the Love to all the world.… Think how you would feel as that Love rebounds back to you, multiplied a thousand fold and yet a thousand more.…
This in fact is our reality. We need only be willing to set aside our past and accept the gift our Creator has already given us without end. This is our natural state. We are not aware of it because, by aligning with the ego, we are actively denying it.
But we can change our allegiance. As we move toward letting the Holy Spirit guide all our thoughts, we take giant strides toward experiencing God’s initial, changeless, endless gift of all of Himself — His Love, His strength, His joy, His peace.
Today we dedicate to turning over all our thoughts to the Holy Spirit as we place the future in the Hands of God.
