ACIM Workbook Lesson #233
“I give my life to God to guide today."
Live life to the fullest! What exactly does that mean? I was watching a cooking show where the host, a well-known hedonist, was in Greece. As he is over-drinking and eating he declares that he’s living life to the fullest. It made me start thinking about what a full life is, and then when seeing this topic requesting us to allow divine Mind, God, to guide me today — well, you can imagine how I laughed when I thought of the idea of gluttony being an indication of a full life! I suppose we can ask ourselves what it is we value. Do we value things we have, things we do? Or is valuable substance made up of ideas and the purity of our actions when they are led by divine Love? Giving ourselves to the Unity of All that Is does not limit our actions and enjoyment of the moment. I feel that it intensifies the joy and excitement of living. Being led by Spirit allows me to stop worrying about what my next steps will be and relax into a surety that I’ll be in the right place at the right time. What an adventure life is!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“When we fully understand our relation to the Divine, we can have no other Mind but His,--no other Love, wisdom, or Truth, no other sense of Life, and no consciousness of the existence of matter or error. The power of the human will should be exercised only in subordination to Truth; else it will misguide the judgment and free the lower propensities. It is the province of spiritual sense to govern man.”
