This holy instant would I give to You. Be You in charge. For I would follow You, certain that Your direction gives me peace.
And if I need a word to help me, He will give it to me. ²If I need a thought, that will He also give. ³And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the gifts I will receive of Him. ⁴He is in charge by my request. ⁵And He will hear and answer me, because He speaks for God my Father and His holy Son. (A Course in Miracles, W-361-365. See also ACIM Lesson 365 Insights.)
The ego always speaks first, because it wants to maintain its status as our primary advisor. The ego is the idea of being independent and in control. But we are learning that leaving the ego in control has resulted in our world of fear, guilt, loss and lack.
In every moment we have the opportunity to choose an Advisor Whose only purpose is to return us to awareness of our true Will. We share this Will with God. It is the Will that recognizes Love is the only Reality and desires only to extend It.
Every instant is holy because Love is always now. Love knows no past nor future, for it is changeless and eternal. This is What we are, What we have been and What we will always be. As we build a habit of stepping back from the ego thought system to welcome God’s Voice in our mind, we walk peacefully and happily on the path of return to Love.
