This instant is the only time there is.
I have conceived of time in such a way that I defeat my aim. ²If I elect to reach past time to timelessness, I must change my perception of what time is for. ³Time’s purpose cannot be to keep the past and future one. ⁴The only interval in which I can be saved from time is now. ⁵For in this instant has forgiveness come to set me free. ⁶The birth of Christ is now, without a past or future. ⁷He has come to give His present blessing to the world, restoring it to timelessness and love. ⁸And love is ever-present, here and now.
Thanks for this instant, Father. ²It is now I am redeemed. ³This instant is the time You have appointed for Your Son’s release, and for salvation of the world in him. (A Course in Miracles, W-308. See also ACIM Lesson 308 Insights.)
Whenever our peace is disturbed, it is always caused by thoughts of the past or the future. We may feel guilty or upset about something that occurred in the past. We may wish that something happen in the future. Or we may worry about something might occur in the future. These thoughts block the present moment from our awareness.
In the present moment there is Love and nothing else. In the timelessness of now, there is no form, only the changeless Love that is our true Self, united with our Creator. This Love extends forever. It keeps us safely in It’s peace. It brings joy as It extends the eternal giving and receiving that is Love.
Today we pause frequently to step away from thoughts of past and future. We ask the Holy Spirit to help us experience the present as it Is. We welcome the Love of Christ that is now, everywhere and forever.
