ACIM Workbook Lesson 91 – for Sunday, April 1, 2012
Affirmation: “Miracles are seen in light.”
Selected Passage:
“Your efforts, however little they may be, have strong support. Did you but realize how great this strength, your doubts would vanish. (WB156)”
Reflections:
1 – Let the Holy Spirit Lead
Elsewhere Jesus says that we do not feel comfortable with the truth that our own contribution is so little, and the contribution of the Holy Spirit to our best living is so great (a paraphrase). We think that we ought to do more.
2 – We Need Contribute Just a Bit
Yet it is just because we are asked to do so little, ourselves, that our success is assured. We are so often weak in the flesh (a biblical concept), and when we depend on guidance from the Holy Spirit, we are depending on real strength that will take us Home. When we take this understanding to heart, we are reassured in the extreme.
3 – Do Not Struggle
We do not have to struggle; indeed, we are bade not to struggle. We are not to choose the miracles that we will perform, because personally selected miracles may be misguided (a Text tenet). We are to depend on Jesus to guide us to the miracles that we are to perform, and, when we do this, all is well.
Prayer:
Dear Father/Mother,
I would not struggle today, but take the day as it comes, knowing that the Holy Spirit will alleviate my burdens. Let me not feel unnecessary in this exchange, because the Holy Spirit does need my willingness to follow His lead. I give that willingness today.
Be with me as I walk through the day. Your will is the only one that I would follow, and I am led gently down a pathway in spring.
Amen.
