LESSON 310 - November 6


"In fearlessness and love I spend today."

PRACTICE SUMMARY

(See also Part II Introduction)

COMMENTARY

All my days are meant to be spent with You, Father, in fearlessness and love
(1:1). All of them. I seldom spend my day this way, but today, Father, I
would do so. I open my heart to give this day to You. Let it be so, as You
will. Let me know the joy that comes from Heaven, not from time (1:2-3). Let
the interfering voice in my mind be still, and let me hear Heaven's music
(2:2). I ask not for ecstatic visions that transport me out of this world
forever, but I do ask that today be something new, something higher, a
foretaste of what is in store for me at the end of time.

Let this day be "Your sweet reminder to remember You" (1:4). Gift me with
Your grace, Father. Let me experience something that will serve as a
continuing reminder to turn my mind to You again and again.

Let this day be "Your gracious calling to Your holy Son" (1:4). Open my
ears, and teach me to listen. Let me hear Your calling today. Let me feel
the drawing power of Your eternal Love.

Let this day be "the sign Your grace has come to me, and that it is Your
Will I be set free today" (1:4). May there be a fresh and poignant awareness
of Your working in my life, Your touch upon me. May I see signs that my
freedom is Your Will. May I find renewed confidence in the certainty of the
outcome that awaits me in Your plan.

Today let a song of thankfulness rise up within me. Increase my awareness
that I am joining an eternal song, sung by every part of Your creation. Let
me, as the psalmist said, "Sing unto the Lord a new song." Let me recognize
the rejoicing that is life itself, given by God, as all the world joins with
us in the song.

"There is no room in us for fear today, for we have welcomed love into our
hearts" (2:4).


What is the Second Coming? (Part 10)

W-pII.9.5:5-6

The third thing we can do in the light of what the Second Coming is, is to
become part of the Atonement ourselves, having received it.

"Let us rejoice that we can do God's Will, and join together in its holy
light. Behold, the Son of God is one in us, and we can reach our Father's
Love through Him" (5:5-6).

God's Will is Love. God's Will for us is perfect happiness. God's Will is
never-ending extension of the radiance of His Being. We can "do" that
because He created us to be that. We can reach our Father's Love through His
Son. It is our choice to join together in that oneness of the Son that is
the fulfillment of God's Will. Here, in our relationships within time, we
are beginning the process that culminates in the Second Coming, the
restoration of the single Identity of Christ. As we join in common purpose,
to forgive and to be forgiven, to love and to be loved, we shorten the time
until the Sonship is fully one in expression. As we give our relationships
to the Holy Spirit, to be used only for His purpose, to be transformed into
holy relationships through forgiveness, we are joining together in the
fulfillment of God's Will.

It is through one another that we reach God's Love. It is in one another
that we find God. "The whole reality of your relationship with Him lies in
our relationship to one another" (T-17.IV.16:7).
