You are the spirit in whose mind abides the miracle in which all time stands still; the miracle in which a minute spent in using these ideas becomes a time that has no limit and that has no end. Give, then, these minutes willingly, and count on Him Who promised to lay timelessness beside them. He will offer all His strength to every little effort that you make. Give Him the minutes which He needs today, to help you understand with Him you are the spirit that abides in Him, and that calls through His Voice to every living thing; offers His sight to everyone who asks; replaces error with the simple truth.
Begin these happy exercises with the words the Holy Spirit speaks to you, and let them echo round the world through Him:
Spirit am I, a holy Son of God, free of all limits, safe and
healed and whole, free to forgive, and free to save the world. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 97, W-pI.97.4;7:1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 97 Insights.)
While we identify with the body as what we are, we experience the world of form as real. This identification is severely limiting. It makes us feel isolated, confused, uncertain about how to respond to everything. We don’t feel that we can trust anyone because we don’t know what their attitudes and beliefs are or what they might do to us based on them. We can’t see the future and memories of the past bring with them guilt and fear.
But when we identify with Spirit, all those limitations disappear. We experience God’s limitless gift of all His Love, His peace and joy. We know that our brothers’ only true motivation is Love. We freely join with that Love, knowing that this joining brings us happiness and peace. We experience the Spirit we are in the present moment. There is no past to bring us fear and guilt. We have the certainty of the changeless present that is not only our present but also our future. In this certainty, time becomes meaningless and we remember our Home in God.
Today we would remind ourselves frequently that we are Spirit, at Home in Love.
