This day is God’s. It is my gift to Him.
I will not lead my life alone today. I do not understand the world, and so to try to lead my life alone must be but foolishness. But there is One Who knows all that is best for me. And He is glad to make no choices for me but the ones that lead to God. I give this day to Him, for I would not delay my coming home, and it is He Who knows the way to God.
And so we give today to You. We come with wholly open minds. We do not ask for anything that we may think we want. Give us what You would have received by us. You know all our desires and our wants. And You will give us everything we need in helping us to find the way to You. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 242, W-pII.242. See also ACIM Lesson 242 Insights.)
As long as we follow the ego’s lead, we have closed part of our mind against the truth. This separation is the ego’s mandate to maintain the separation that is essential to the ego’s seeming existence. The Course is dedicated to help us open that split-off part of our mind to consider the possibility that it is not real.
The split mind cannot know the truth; it sees itself alone and disconnected from everything. The ego is dispelled the moment the truth of our Self is accepted as one in Love with every brother and God.
We have been given the Holy Spirit, our inner Teacher, to gently and lovingly help us let go of our fearful beliefs and open our mind to welcome Love. His curriculum is customized to our individual need. We each have our unique set of memories from the past that we use to judge the present, blinding us to the presence of Love now. The Holy Spirit helps us forgive these memories by showing us they have had no effect on our true Self, which remains as God created It.
We give this day to God. His response is gratitude for our willingness to welcome His Love.
