Lesson 362
This holy instant would I give to You.
Be You in charge.
For I would follow You, certain that Your direction gives me peace.
“And if I need a word to help me, He will give it to me. If I need a thought, that will He also give. And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the gifts I will receive of Him. He is in charge by my request. And He will hear and answer me, because He speaks for God my Father and His holy Son” (ACIM Lesson 361 1:1-5).
You are part of the holy perfection that is Life. You are actually the perfect piece (peace) that holds it all together. Life, existence, could not be without You. I AM because You Are. The world IS because You Are. What is the significance of this crazy thing called Life? You. Thus, how could something so important not be wholly (holy) perfect?
In each breath, you have exactly what you need to rise and alight the moment. You move incredible mountains by your presence; your touch transforms all things to the brilliance of gold, all because of the natural power of the Creator that flows through you. In this, there is no formula but this, You. As a holy alchemist, you move beyond words and worries so as to let God show you Her perfection in human form: She guides your body towards the most perfect coincidental circumstances and holy encounters: She directs your words so they are purposeful for you and all those that shall hear them: She even moves the pen in your hand and the fingers on the keyboard so as to create the most divine message.
When we let go of perfection, we realize we are the perfection. You. Me. The entire world. Nothing has ever been wrong, rather wholly (holy) right. The world can wash over us but it can never wash away our perfection. This is the Heaven beyond words and when we then come to reunite with words and actions as needed, we SEE the thread of God in each purposeful curve. She is what inspires the bird to sing, the clock to chime, the beggar to beg, the sleep to sleep, the musician to play, the artist to paint, the writer to write, the teacher to teach, and even the rock to lie perfectly still on the path ahead. If you want to see perfection, merely open the eyes of your heart, it is all around because it flows from within you.
Dear One, witness the perfection beyond words. You need do nothing for She moves through Everything, enveloping Us in Her majestic creation. She is in the words you speak, the hug you give, and is in the exact place where you stand. That is the peace of God. Namaste.
