I will step back and let Him lead the way.
There is a way of living in the world that is not here, although it seems to be. ²You do not change appearance, though you smile more frequently. ³Your forehead is serene; your eyes are quiet. ⁴And the ones who walk the world as you do recognize their own. ⁵Yet those who have not yet perceived the way will recognize you also, and believe that you are like them, as you were before.
The world is an illusion. ²Those who choose to come to it are seeking for a place where they can be illusions, and avoid their own reality. ³Yet when they find their own reality is even here, then they step back and let it lead the way. ⁴What other choice is really theirs to make? ⁵To let illusions walk ahead of truth is madness. ⁶But to let illusion sink behind the truth and let the truth stand forth as what it is, is merely sanity.
This is the simple choice we make today. ²The mad illusion will remain awhile in evidence, for those to look upon who chose to come, and have not yet rejoiced to find they were mistaken in their choice. ³They cannot learn directly from the truth, because they have denied that it is so. ⁴And so they need a Teacher Who perceives their madness, but Who still can look beyond illusion to the simple truth in them.
…there is another road that leads away from loss of every kind, for sacrifice and deprivation both are quickly left behind. ²This is the way appointed for you now. (A Course in Miracles, W-155.1–3;5:1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 155 Insights.)
In every moment we have the opportunity to dismiss illusions and choose the peace of God. The chaos of this world is only a dream that is not true. The peace of God is always in us, hidden only by our choice to believe the illusions in the dream.
Let us join today in the oneness of God’s Love. In truth, this is where we live. As we make the choice for truth, we walk the world lightly in His Light. We become God’s messengers who show the way to our brothers who search for what we have found. As we accept His Love, we bring blessing to the world. We dwell in gratitude.
