A Course in Miracles: Lesson 317

Lesson 317

I follow in the way appointed me.

“Father, Your way is what I choose today.  Where it would lead me do I choose to go; what it would have me do I choose to do.  Your way is certain, and the end secure.  The memory of You awaits me there.  And all my sorrows end in Your embrace, which You have promised to Your Son, who thought mistakenly that he had wandered from the sure protection of Your loving Arms” (ACIM Lesson 317 2:1-5). 

There is only The Way, and today, that is what we choose.  We need not worry about the past or future.  Where we are is exactly where we are meant to be.  And when we are led elsewhere, The Way is sure to appear.

Today’s lesson is about reading the moment and becoming aware of what the Universe is guiding us to do in that moment.  It is not about projecting a future or guessing Life’s next move.  It is about showing up to the moment at hand and trusting you are in God’s Hands and abiding in Her Will.

“I have a special place to fill; a role for me alone.  Salvation waits until I take this part as what I choose to do.  Until I made this choice, I am the slave of time and human destiny.  But when I willingly and gladly go the way my Father’s plan appointed me to go, then will I recognize salvation is already here, already given all my bothers and already mine as well” (ACIM Lesson 317 1:1-4).

When you recognize your uniqueness in God’s Plan, you no longer fight against the resistance of life.  You become part of the holy flow where there is no longer striving, straining, grasping, or loosing.  In your salvation, do you realize the perfection of the moment at hand and your role in it.  Questions are gone and answers are only given.  Today, listen to God’s guidance.  Let go of Your Way and follow The Way.  Namaste.
