Choosing the Path to Safety and Happiness

God is with me. I live and move in Him.

God is with me. ²He is my Source of life, the life within, the air I breathe, the food by which I am sustained, the water which renews and cleanses me. ³He is my home, wherein I live and move; the Spirit which directs my actions, offers me Its Thoughts, and guarantees my safety from all pain. ⁴He covers me with kindness and with care, and holds in love the Son He shines upon, who also shines on Him. ⁵How still is he who knows the truth of what He speaks today!

Father, we have no words except Your Name upon our lips and in our minds, as we come quietly into Your Presence now, and ask to rest with You in peace a while. (A Course in Miracles, W-222. See also ACIM Lesson 222 Insights.)

If we want to experience a sense of security and safety, confident that all our needs are met and led to act with Love throughout the day, we need to do one thing consistently. We need to step back and let the Holy Spirit lead the way. This practice cannot be overemphasized. It will awaken us from the dream of lack and limitation, conflict and fear and guilt based on illusions of separation. 

We have become accustomed to relying on what the body’s senses tell us and believe our interpretations are true. But the body’s senses perceive only the ego’s illusions. We are being misled by the ego’s lies.

This is why the key to awakening is to resign as our own interpreter. The more we let the Holy Spirit interpret all our perceptions on our behalf, our days will be filled with increasing happiness, peace, kindness and Love. We choose Love as our Guide today.
