Our Joyful To-Do List

There is no end to all the peace and joy,
And all the miracles that I will give,
When I accept God’s Word. Why not today?

Why should I wait, my Father, for the joy You promised me? For You will keep Your Word You gave Your Son in exile. I am sure my treasure waits for me, and I need but reach out my hand to find it. Even now my fingers touch it. It is very close. I need not wait an instant more to be at peace forever. It is You I choose, and my Identity along with You. Your Son would be Himself, and know You as his Father and Creator, and his Love. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 355, W-pII.355. See also ACIM Lesson 355 Insights.)

God’s gifts of peace and joy are within us, hidden behind a wall built by our choice to exile ourselves from the Self that is God’s Son. This exile was not God’s choice. It is our choice to believe we are separate and isolated from the Universe of God’s Love.

When we undo this choice, we accept God’s gifts and bring them to the world. It is only in sharing His gifts that we know we have them. We share God’s gifts by letting the Holy Spirit direct all thoughts, words and deeds on our behalf. As we dedicate our day to following His lead, we choose a day of giving and receiving God’s joy and peace. This to-do list awakens us to our true Self, along with every brother. It is a joyful choice to answer God’s call, “Welcome Home My Son.”
