²Your Friend goes with you. ³You are not alone. ⁴No one who calls on Him can call in vain. ⁵Whatever troubles you, be certain that He has the answer, and will gladly give it to you, if you simply turn to Him and ask it of Him. ⁶He will not withhold all answers that you need for anything that seems to trouble you. ⁷He knows the way to solve all problems, and resolve all doubts. ⁸His certainty is yours. ⁹You need but ask it of Him, and it will be given you.
…hear but the Voice for God and for your Self when you retire from the world, to seek reality instead. ³He will direct your efforts, telling you exactly what to do, how to direct your mind, and when to come to Him in silence, asking for His sure direction and His certain Word. ⁴His is the Word that God has given you. ⁵His is the Word you chose to be your own.
And now I place you in His hands, to be His faithful follower, with Him as Guide through every difficulty and all pain that you may think is real.
³You will be told exactly what God wills for you each time there is a choice to make. ⁴And He will speak for God and for your Self, thus making sure that hell will claim you not, and that each choice you make brings Heaven nearer to your reach. (A Course in Miracles, W-ep.1:2-9;3:2–4:1;5:3-4)
God is not a dictator. He simply offers the gift of all of His Love to His Son. When we choose to identify with the ego thought system of separation, we deny our birthright. We deny our true Identity. The ego is the wish to establish its own domain with it in charge. When we identify with the ego, we accept its demands.
We have another choice. We can choose to accept God’s gift of all of Himself. With this acceptance, we accept His Will that we share the oneness of His Love without limit. Our true Self’s Will is the same as God’s. It is His gift of Love that we seek for in myriad forms in the ego’s world. It cannot be found there because Love is denied.
Today we choose to accept our best Friend, Who is with us always. His mission is to guide us to recognize that ego’s world offers nothing we really want. In its place we are led to join with all of Reality in the Heart of Love.
