My lesson for today is lesson 274 in the workbook:
“Today belongs to love, let me not fear”
I gave my day to love. I gave my day to God.
Who knew you could give a whole day to God. Have you ever wondered what God might do with one of your days? Every time I became afraid today, I gave my day back to Him. It was so easy to take it back to “work” on it on my own. My fears told me to take back control and manage my day even more tightly.
It’s funny to imagine God wanting to use one of my days. Funny that one of the things I cast away so nonchalantly, like my days, are the very thing God wants.
The Course tells us that we will need time and will have time, until the time when we give everything to God, all the time. This is what time is for; to learn that all we want is what love wants. There is no fear when something has been given to love.
“…Give this day to God, and there will be no fear today, because the day is given unto love”.
And what love did with my day was exactly what It said It would, It gave me the sense of confidence to let everything be exactly as it was. It was a deep release of pressure. To be able to trust that all things are happening exactly as they should, and to let each person be exactly as they are in that moment, made my day feel so effortless, as if I were being carried through it.
Thank you God for still wanting my days even after all the ways I have wasted them.
And so tonight I declare also that this relationship belongs to love, I will not fear.
And I declare that this body belongs to love, I will not fear.
And I choose that my life belongs to love, I will not fear!
I love you my mighty companions.
Thank you for saving me over and over and over again,
-Anna
