Accepting a Future Bright with Love

God holds your future as He holds your past and present. ²They are one to Him, and so they should be one to you. ³Yet in this world, the temporal progression still seems real. ⁴And so you are not asked to understand the lack of sequence really found in time. ⁵You are but asked to let the future go, and place it in God’s Hands. ⁶And you will see by your experience that you have laid the past and present in His Hands as well, because the past will punish you no more, and future dread will now be meaningless.

What worry can beset the one who gives his future to the loving Hands of God? ²What can he suffer? ³What can cause him pain, or bring experience of loss to him? ⁴What can he fear? ⁵And what can he regard except with love? ⁶For 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.

Place, then, your future in the Hands of God. ²For thus you call the memory of Him to come again, replacing all your thoughts of sin and evil with the truth of love.

²For in God’s Hands we rest untroubled, sure that only good can come to us. (A Course in Miracles, W-194.4;7:1-6;8:1-2;9:2. See also ACIM Lesson 194 Insights.)

God holds for us a pristine future, brightened by the Light of Love and filled with the certainty of peace and joy. This is our future when we place it in His Hands.

We release the past through forgiveness. Only in a loveless dream does there seem to be a past which could have an effect on the future. The ego uses time to tie the past to our projected future, where guilt and retribution are justified.

Today we call upon the Holy Spirit to help us release the past and make way for a future in God’s Hands, where only Love is real.
