Whose Hand Am I Holding?

Mary:
In this morning’s reading of A Course in Miracles, this is what stood out to me:

Never accord the ego the power to interfere with the journey. It has none, because the journey is the way to what is true. Leave all illusions behind and reach beyond all attempts of the ego to hold you back. I go before you because I am beyond the ego. Reach, therefore, for my hand because you want to transcend the ego. My strength will never be wanting, and if you choose to share it you will do so. I give it willingly and gladly, because I need you as much as you need me. (T-8.V.6:4-10)

My practice today is to ask myself frequently, “Whose hand am I holding right now?” I know that there are only two choices, the ego’s or the Holy Spirit’s. I can tell which thought system I am joined with by the level of peace and joy I am feeling in the present moment. If I recognize that I am not in a place of peace, I have the opportunity to choose once again. This time I join with the Hand that is always there for me to lift me out of ego thinking to return to my true nature, which is eternal peace and Love.

I give thanks for the helping Hand that is always there to help me transcend the ego when I am willing. Today is another opportunity to practice joining with the truth instead of illusions.

Holy Spirit to Robert:
The Love in you is always truly helpful because It sees everything as part of Itself. Love sees no adversaries, no competition, nothing to compare Itself with because nothing is outside of Love. Hold the hand of Love in all your doing today and you will be truly helpful.
