ACIM Daily Poem for Lesson #181, June 30th

Please Read ACIM Lesson #181


I trust my brothers, who are one with me.

Here's what it's all about:

Learning to transcend doubt.
And so this is a must:
In others we must trust.

Our salvation begins

When we look past sins --
Holiness always wins --
Others have no sins.

You don't need to be meek
If sinlessness you seek,
And no need to repent --
God judges our intent.

Don't think about the past --

Forever we shall last.
Don't think of what's to come --
Forever we are One.

Be impervious

To what came previous --
Living in the present
Is time well-spent,
So be hell-bent
On changing your intent.

When we return to innocence

We shall have deliverance --
Have fun with your brother --
You are One with each other.

By God you’ve been inspected,
So you’ll never be rejected --
You are His Love reflected,
So please don't be dejected.

Have love for everyone --

We're all sinless, and God's Son.
We're perfect through His Will,
And His Grace is with us still.

ACIM Daily Poem for Lesson #180, June 29th

Please Read ACIM Lesson #180

Review of:
(169) By grace I live. By grace I am released.
(170) There is no cruelty in God and none in me.

You have --
   No need to hurry,
   No need to worry,
   No need to move fast --
Grace has come to you at last.

It comes when you hear God's Word,
As if it's all you've ever heard --
It brings the final revelation
And finally gives salvation.

You can be spontaneous
Because grace is instantaneous --
And there's nothing to pretend
Because there's nothing to defend.

All is given you,
All's forgiven you,
All is made anew --
There's nothing you must do.

See All in its entirety --
See that there is Unity --
What must be will be,
In time and eternity.

God still writes our script in time,
But life is just a blip in time --
Within our introspection
We now see God's Reflection.

There's nothing to fear
Because God's always here --
He is your best friend,
And His Love has no end.

You're One with your brother,
Because there is no "Other;"
Though you have your own story,
You're still part of God's Glory.

His Love is your fuel,
And He's never cruel --
Now see that it's true:
God is love 
   And so are you.

ACIM Daily Poem for Lesson #179, June 28th

ACIM Lesson #179
"God is but Love, and therefore so am I.”

Review of:
(167) There is one life, and that I share with God.
(168) Your grace is given me. I claim it now.


Don't play earth's game
Of wealth and fame --
It's really lame --

Before the Fall
We were having a ball
And God was All --

Now we all 
Have different names,
But still we're all the same.

If you're afraid to die
Just ask yourself why.
You should feel really fine
Since you're really divine.

We all think life is deep,
But we all are still asleep --
All that's really true
Is deep inside of you.

Your divinity
Is for eternity,
And the light you see
Is your ecstasy.

You look upon the Face of God,
Because you're in the Place of God --
So now make your space for God,
And claim the Grace of God.

Speak to God -- He's not distant --
You're living in the Holy Instant --
Just ask Him for love and more,
And He will open Heaven's door.

When you speak to God
He’ll speak to you --
When you trust in Him
He’ll see you through.

Don’t try to hide,
Or take God for a ride --
In Him now confide --
Your hopes are satisfied.

You can’t feel despair
When God’s Love is there --
This entire world will disappear
As Heavenly Grace draws near.

Each human face is shining bright --
Gone forever is the night --
Forever we will do what’s right --
All we see is God’s Love Light.

ACIM Daily Poem for Lesson #178, June 27th

Please Read ACIM Lesson #178

Review of:

(165) Let not my mind deny the Thought of God.
(166) I am entrusted with the gifts of God.

With holiness align --
   Let God's Light Shine --
Then you'll find
   True peace of mind.

When I denied God's Thought,
   I became distraught, 'cause
Happiness can't be bought.

To receive all 
   Gifts from God,
Our minds must 
   Shift with God,
So we have no 
   Rift with God.

When our minds are 
   Prepared for God,
Our joys will be 
   Shared with God --
Nothing can be 
   Compared with God.

His Love I've stopped denying --
   True joy He is supplying --
His Love is still undying --
   For God I'm testifying.

His gifts are unsurpassed --
   The time for doubt is past --
I'm in Heaven -- Home at last.

God still trusts in me --

   But not just in me --
Since His Love we inherit,
   Let's all just share it.


It's time to stop wandering --
   It's a thought worth pondering --
His gifts we've been squandering.

If you'll choose the Gift of God,

   You won't lose your gifts from God,
And your heart will lift with God.

Your life will always be tragic

   If stuck in this world's magic --
You'll have a life of futility
   With no joy or utility.

So now it comes to me:
   God's Truth will always be --
His gifts will set us free,
   If we can only see
They're our true identity.

ACIM Daily Poem for Lesson #177, June 26th

Please Read ACIM Lesson #177

Review of:
(163) There is no death. The Son of God is free. 
(164) Now are we one with Him Who is our Source.

God offers us bliss,
But still we resist,
And always insist
That death does exist.

Death's forms are illusions,
Made by our delusions --
But death is not mighty, And God is not flighty --
He is the Almighty.
We're in God, 
And God is life -- If you want peace, 
Then give up strife.
Remember God is always giving, And in His World we're always living -- In God's Home you'll wish you'd stayed,
If now you're feeling tired and afraid.

Let voices of the world grow dim --
Love God for we are One with Him --
Truth cannot lose, but only win,
So hear the truth and have no sin -- Your holy life will now begin. The world has gone insane, Giving loss instead of gain, And making us feel pain, So treat it with disdain.

Fear will not remain, And you can stop the rain If you no longer play the game -- Have no guilt or shame -- We are all the same -- We share God's Holy Name.

ACIM Daily Poem for Lesson #176, June 25th

Please Read ACIM Lesson #176

Review of:
(161) Give me your blessing, holy Son of God.
(162) I am as God created me.

Before this truth I've always trembled:
I am the person God assembled.
And this truth is always clear:
My body's a symbol of doubt and fear. 

In the world's mirror you can see your Self,
   And from the world's fear you can free your Self,
But with God you can always be your Self.

Can't you finally see

   How your Self is lovely?
Can't you now agree
   That your Self is holy?
The truth is not negotiable:
   The Self is not that sociable.

The bells of truth 

   Will ring,
While ancient songs 
   We sing --
We now have 
   Everything --
God's Love is our
   Blessing.

Holiness is your birthright --
   You're holy in God's Sight --
There's nothing God forbade you --
   After all, it's God who made you.

And here's a thought most true:

   You are as God created you.
And now the truth I finally see:
   I am as God created me.

ACIM Daily Poem for Lesson #175, June 24th

Please Read ACIM Lesson #175

Review of:

(159) I give the miracles I have received. 
(160) I am at home. Fear is the stranger here. 

Our human minds

   Are always deceived,
And no one can give
   What is not received,
Yet no one will see
   What is not believed,
And only God's Truth
   Has been conceived.

Our minds may reject
   What God made perfect,
But know with surety,
   We were made with purity.

Guilt causes our frustration --

   Come to the realization
That forgiveness is salvation.

Keep your eyes on the prize --

   See with Christ's eyes --
It's time to realize
   We're no longer hypnotized.

Don't feel like a pretender --

   God's Love for you is tender --
You're the Love extender --
   Come live with Him in splendor.

Come live in God's home --

   You can call it your own --
You no longer will roam --
   You're no longer alone.

When you go through God's Doors,

   Every Miracle is yours --
You've inherited the Kingdom,
   And you have eternal freedom.

And it won't be very long,

   Till fear and guilt are gone --
You will not go wrong --
   You're where you belong.

What's done is done --
   God's Love has won --
Like everyone,
   You are God's Son.

Please Read ACIM Lesson #174

Review of:
(157) Into His Presence would I enter now. 
(158) Today I learn to give as I receive. 

We've been given time sufficiently

To learn how God wants us to be,
But we use time inefficiently,
And don't see what we're supposed to see.

The world keeps turning,
The Sun keeps burning,
Our hearts keep yearning
For righteous learning,
While reality's churning,
Which is quite concerning,
But God's Son is returning!

On the earth plane we travel,
While our earth plans unravel --
Are we asking too much,
Seeking Heaven's touch?

No woman or man
Shall ever understand
God's Heavenly Hand
Or what He has planned.

But our devotion is growing

As our hearts are glowing
With eternal knowing.

And in His presence

We never feel tense,
Which is very intense
But doesn't make sense.

We don't need to hide

Since God is our guide --
We are bona fide --
To His Love we are tied.

When we wake from our sleep,

God's Gifts we will keep --
They're here to stay --
Now give them away.

ACIM Daily Poem for Lesson #173, June 22nd

Please Read ACIM Lesson #173

Lesson:
"God is but Love, and therefore so am I."

Review of:
(155) I will step back and let Him lead the way.
(156) I walk with God in perfect holiness. 


If you feel
This world is real,
It won't feel nice
When you "sacrifice"
Its shallow glory
And its painful story.

To avoid your confusion,
See this world as illusion --
You won't feel the loss
If God is your boss.

When you're on God's Road
Believe what you're told --
You will never grow old.

If illusions will lead you
The world will bleed you,
But if others follow you around,
Please don't let them down.

Truth does not mystify --
Surely it will sanctify --
Now let others try
So they can't deny
While you testify --
Your home's in the sky --
With angels you fly.

And now you can pray
That God leads your way,
So with Him you will stay.

You're never separated
And never frustrated --
What's true is true --
God feels like new,
And so do you.

You can't predict it --
Don't contradict it --
If you dare the truth,
We will share the truth.

Let God's Light shine --
It's yours and mine --
Rejoice in His Love --
Hear His Voice of Love --
You won't know fright
When you have God's Light.

His Light is transforming --
His Role you're performing,
While the world is reforming.

Since you were made perfectly
Guilt and sin can never be,
And holy you will always be.

ACIM Daily Poem for Lesson #172, June 21st

Please Read ACIM Lesson #172

Review of:
(153) In my defenselessness my safety lies. 
(154) I am among the ministers of God. 

Let go of fear,
   And bring God near --
You're a part of Him,
   Not apart from Him.

Without God 
   You're weak,
And this world 
   Looks bleak,
So now hear 
   God speak:

If you hear Him
   You won't fear Him.
Only God is true,
   Only God comes through,
Only God knows you.

There's no denying,
   God's death-defying,
Though it's mystifying,
   Don't be afraid of dying,

I'm not testifying,
   But are you really trying?
Or are you really lying?



This much is sure:
   With God you're secure,
His Love will endure,
   And your heart will be pure.

But you hold the key
   That will set you free --
In Heaven you'll be,
  Where God says to thee
"Come live with Me."

Don't fight with God,
   Or be uptight with God --
Just be right with God,
   And see the Light of God.

For He sees us,
   And He needs us --
His roles we play
   Each and every day.

Perceive His Gifts
   And receive His Gifts.
He won't preach to us,
   But they're for each of us.

So thank God each day,
   Ask for Love to stay,
Then give His Gifts away.

“God is but Love, and therefore so am I.”

Review of:
(151) All things are echoes of the Voice for God.
(152) The power of decision is my own.

You are wholly me
   So I should Holy be,
So we can finally see
   That we are wholly free.

Hearts will bleed
   While God's in need --
From guilt you're freed --
   This Course will feed
The minds of those who read.

Please understand: 
   You are God's Hands.
So be discrete: 
   You are God's Feet,
And you're made complete.

So please surmise:  
   You are God's Eyes.
You'll have no harm:  
   You are God's Arm.

You play God's Game:
   Hallowed's your name --
You're undefiled:  
   You are God's Child.

Share the wisdom: 
   We are His Son --
Just look above: 
    We are God's Love --
There is no tension: 
    You're God's Extension --

Don't act like a fool
   When you are God's Tool --
In our hearts He'll rule --
   We're His Holy Jewel.

Every sound you hear 
   Is the Voice of God,
Every choice you make 
   Is a choice for God,
Every day we live,
   We rejoice with God.

So become God's Holy Flower --
   On you riches He will shower --
Each minute of every hour
   Your decision is in your power.

ACIM Daily Poem for Lesson #170, June 19th

Please Read ACIM Lesson #170

There is no cruelty in God and none in me.

Living in the world defenseless,
To many will seem so senseless,
But defenses make us attack,
And after that we can't go back 
To seeing Truth beyond our senses --
We must get rid of our defenses!

Now be who God wants you to be --
Now see what God wants you to see --
From illusions set yourself free,
And escape the world's cruelty.

When no one is your enemy
You'll find His True Serenity,
Feel the peace of His Security,
Living with His True Unity.

To separate yourself from Him
Is just a silly human whim,
And although it's not a sin,
It's a fight you'll never win.

Give up your earthly lust --
Be one with God -- you must!
For where we place our trust
Will go from dust to dust,
While earthly plans go bust --
But God is true and just.

And everyone is one with us --
We've given God our holiness --
See God's Glory -- you've believed it --
Bring salvation -- you've received it.
