ACIM Daily Poem For Lesson #364, December 30th

Please Read ACIM Lesson #364

This holy instant would I give to You. Be You in charge. For I would follow You, certain that Your direction gives me peace.

God always takes a chance on me,
And always, He will dance with me --
Whenever I speak He answers me,
And grants me peace that makes me free.

If ever I should doubt His Love,
Or try to live without His Love,
I find the gifts He gives to me
Are all I need to make me free.

His Words are not hollow --
His Light I will follow --
Today and tomorrow
I give up all sorrow --

His Spirit recharges my life
And always enlarges my life,
When He's in charge of my life.

This holy instant would I give to You. Be You in charge. For I would follow You, Certain that Your direction gives me peace.
With love my heart may bleed,
But soon my heart will be freed --
God gives me all I need --
I follow wherever he'll lead.

When a conflict enters my head,
He gives me thoughts of love instead --
When I'm trapped in the prison of time
He gives me peace and frees my mind.

What is time but Holy Instants?
We see God inside, not from a distance --
He is in charge -- that is my choice --
And so I follow His Loving Voice.

This holy instant would I give to You. Be You in charge. For I would follow You, Certain that Your direction gives me peace


It’s time to release
All guilt and shame --
Receive God’s Peace
And know His Name.

Give up your thought
Of things you bought --
Go in God’s direction --
Find your own perfection.

God does not live somewhere distant,
He's within us every Holy Instant,
And when our lives we give to Him,
We are free from doubt and sin.

So to God I give my life --
With Him I'm free from strife.
Now my life to God I give,
So finally I can truly live.

Peace be to me, the holy Son of God. Peace to my brother, who is one with me. Let all the world be blessed with peace through us.

God's Peace and Joy forever will
Be in our hearts, forever still --
It does not mean this is the end,
Just because we say Amen.

From the moment of our birth
God has blessed the planet earth --
Now I want to live in peace
With love I want to give in peace.

So let's live our days in light,
While accepting rays of light --
Living like God's Perfect Son --
With His Creation we are One.

As the things of earth and time pass sadly,
The Gates of Heaven we enter gladly --
We've said goodbye to earthly pain --
In Holy Light we shall remain.

Please Read ACIM Lesson #359

God's answer is some form of peace. All pain is healed; all misery replaced with joy. All prison doors are opened. And all sin is understood as merely a mistake.

If joy we want to win,
Then now we must begin
To heal imagined sins --

They don't exist --
So don't resist
This simple twist:

All sins are just mistakes --
Each sin from us God takes --
Watch in awe as He creates
Heaven as our fates.

At last, I'll rejoice
When I hear God's Voice --
Move the earth without a lever!
God's Creation lasts forever!

We're ecstatic! We're not sinners!
We've made mistakes cause we're beginners!
And if we will reject them,
The Holy Spirit will correct them.

The shadows of God's Light we see --
Within God's Grace we'll always be --
From darkness we have been set free.

No call to God can be unheard nor left unanswered. And of this I can be sure; His answer is the one I really want.

Once you hear His Holy Word
No call to God will go unheard --
He will always answer you,
And always take a chance on you.

The truth to you he'll always tell --
His miracles will make you well --
So make your mind be still,
And follow His Holy Will.

Look in your heart, and God is there --
Of His Presence become aware  --
He knows our deepest fear and desires,
And helps us quell our earthly fires.

Dear God, please don't fill my coffers --
Just make me eternal offers --
You always know what's best for me,
Though each moment is a test for me.

When I call, You always hear me,
And Your Love is always near me --
I listen for an answer and hear Your Voice,
So to follow Your Will is my only choice.

Truth answers every call we make to God, Responding first with miracles, and then Returning unto us to be itself

God's Truth won't let you fall,
But you have to make the call --
His Power will reveal to us
What miracles will heal in us.

The Christ inside has risen
To free us from our prison --
From above the wild blue yonder
Comes our holy first responder.

There never was a time
When we were not divine --
We know the Law of One,
And we are each God's Son.

God is calling from above,
So now we hear the Law of Love,
And receive just what we give,
Since Christ taught us how to live.

He taught us how to love each other --
Think not of self but of your brother --
As Prince of Peace he's been anointed --
The Way to Truth He now has pointed.

Please Read ACIM Lesson #356

Sickness is but another name for sin. Healing is but another name for God. The miracle is thus a call to Him

God calls us to accept His healing
When illness makes our lives go reeling --
Our defenses all must fall to God --
Each miracle is a call to God.

It doesn't matter who we are,
It doesn't matter where we are,
It doesn't matter what we've become
Or what terrible things we may have done --

We are part of God, you see,
And with Him we shall always be --
Free of doubt and the thought of sin --
Free of the pain we bought with sin.

With hope I now call out God's Name,
So I'll give up this hopeless game --
I care nothing for material gain --
I'm free from all my earthly pain:
The King of Heaven now shall reign.

There is no end to all the peace and joy, and all the miracles that I will give, when I accept God's Word. Why not today?

This is my life to live today --
A miracle I give today --
The promise that God made His Son
Is now made true -- we've just begun

To live in total peace and joy,
With miracles we now employ --
Bringing peace to God's Creation
Is our sacred obligation.

Today's the day to stop the fight --
Now's the time we bring the light --
Reach out and touch God's Treasure --
Light and love beyond all measure.

The Love of God's not inconsistent --
It takes just one small Holy Instant --
Bringing near what was so distant.

God has become my true best friend --
To peace and joy there is no end --
His Loving Word opens my heart --
On the path to Heaven now I start.

We stand together, Christ and I, in peace and certainty of purpose. And in Him is His Creator, as He is in me.

With Christ we stand together --
In Him we live forever --
We're like his Holy Father --
He gives us peace and certainty,
That lasts for all eternity.

God's in me -- I am divine --
He removes me from the pain of time --
I know this now, and feel so fine.

The Christ in me God has created,
And so our love grows unabated --
He is God's Child and so am I --
With angel's wings I now can fly.

I'm in Christ and He's in me --
Together we are wholly free.
And this I finally see:
Since He has made me free,
Like the Christ I now can be.

Please Read ACIM Lesson #353

My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today have but one purpose: to be given Christ to use to bless the world with miracles.

In Christ I will lose myself,
And ask Him to use my Self,
To make a miracle to bless,
So my soul does not regress.

I don't judge 'cause I don't dare --
It's not because I do not care --
There's a purpose that we share.

With God we're never alone,
And with Christ we can atone --
My life on earth to God I give,
So I may learn to truly live.

This is the end of earthly learning,
And the end of mortal yearning --
To God's light my face is turning --
In my heart Christ's fire is burning.

Each piece of me is given Christ --
I finally have forgiven Christ --
My soul's now like the risen Christ.

The Christ in me
Has come to see --
I'm living in Eternity --
From sin and pain I'm finally free --
Within God's Love I'll always be.

Judgment and love are opposites. From one come all the sorrows of the world. But from the other comes the peace of God Himself.

Your identity,
And God's Memory
Are within me,
So I can see

Without my eyes,
And I'm not blind
Since family ties
Will now unwind --

I'm finally wise
Beyond all time --
The tie that binds
Has freed my mind.

I'm not a careless fellow --
God's Voice has made me mellow,
And His Voice does not ring hollow,
So His Path I choose to follow.

I'll never judge you,
Or begrudge you --
We are sinless,
And evil's winless.

We'll go where God leads --
Help Him plant His Seeds,
So we will find eternal peace
Where His Love will never cease.

My sinless brother is my guide to peace. My sinful brother is my guide to pain. And which I choose to see I will behold.

To see you without sin
Is how we must begin --
A world without guilt
Is how God's World was built.

When I make a choice to see,
I make the choice to be
In happiness or pain,
And they are not the same --

When I choose Christ's Vision
I see the Son has risen --
I see the Love of God enfold you,
And in His Light I now behold you.

You are pure -- your peace will guide me --
You have no sin, so don't deride me --
I'm the Son of God and not a sinner --
On God's Path, I'm just a beginner --
I make the choice of my perception,
And see myself in God's reflection.

Holy's what I long to be --
We're God's Holy Family --
I wrote this little song
To show that I belong.

Please Read ACIM Lesson #350

Miracles mirror God's eternal Love. To offer them is to remember Him, And through His memory to save the world.

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's most holy of us all?

Our miracle's a reflection
Of our divine perfection,
And it is God's Holy Will
That He offers to us still,
So let's remember His Love --
Keep burning His Ember of Love.

Beyond time lies God's Memory,
Which is where we will finally see
The truth of love we now believe --
The miracle we now perceive --
God's Freedom we will now achieve.

God gives, so I gather miracles to me,
And thank Him for love's reality --
At last I'm in the Heart of God --
And now I'll cast my lot with God --

We look upon a brave new world,
And remember how to save the world --
When you offer your memory to me
God's Love at last I see.

Today I let Christ's vision look upon
all things for me and judge them not, but give each one a miracle of love instead.

Within our minds, our eyes can see
How everything's supposed to be --
Since we're perfect in God's Sight,
Trust in Him and do what's right.

Because we have divine perfection,
Let's treat each other with affection --
Forgiveness frees us all from sin
So love and truth will always win.

When we give love, we are given
A special place of love in Heaven --
And since we've all withstood the test,
All of us are always blessed.

And now we're all feeling
The miracle of healing --
When we give up sin,
We return to Him

In His special Place,
Now full of Grace,
Where illusions are rejected,
And forgiveness is accepted.

I have no cause for anger or for fear, For You surround me. And in every need that I perceive, your grace suffices me.

I feel God's Love surround me,
So time does not confound me,
And it feels very nice
Since God's Grace will suffice.

Nothing can scare me:
God is there for me.
I have no fear:
God's always here.

Though all of time's already passed,
He us gives gifts that always last.
With Love and Peace you must agree,
So don't let life make you angry.

You don't need the power of the Ring
If you just want your heart to sing --
And if you want a life that's fun,
Make God's Will and your will One.

Anger must come from judgment. Judgment is
The weapon I would use against myself,
To keep the miracle away from me.

I won't begrudge you

Your right to judge you:
It's something you find precious,
No matter how malicious.

You have a little schtick

That makes yourself sick --
You love to be mad,
Following the latest fad,
Pushing miracles away,
Bringing darkness to each day.

You take the latest pill

And seek the latest thrill --
You never do sit still:
What you want's against God's Will.

Only God can judge you,

But He will only love you --
He knows the real you --
His Love and Light will heal you.

Today the peace of God envelops me, And I forget all things except His Love.

Dear God, I see I've now forgotten
Bad dreams that were misbegotten --
Forgiveness and love are what I remember,
And I see Your Face in every ember --

The fire of truth is burning bright,
Turning the darkest night
Into Your eternal light --
You have the power and might
To make all things right.

Now I share your memory
For all of our eternity --
The gift of love you've given me,
So truth and beauty are all I see.

You put me in Your envelope
To send me to Your place of Hope --
I'm in Your safe cocoon of love,
With peace that is the boon of love.

I confide in You,
I abide in You,
And live my story
Within Your Glory.

My conflicts leave and I let them --
With Your Love and Grace I'll forget them --
The wealth I have transcends all time,
And priceless treasures now are mine.
