This blog title, “Lights to Heaven,” shows the power in illuminating the way to remembering who we are, and witnesses to my belief in and devotion to "A Course in Miracles", and my dedication to teaching it and commitment to following it. The essays I am guided to share are unscripted, and my interpretation of the workbook lessons of ACIM are part of my curriculum in becoming a Certified Teacher of Teachers of ACIM. Please share, love, and enjoy the miracle.

A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 47

A Course in Miracles

Workbook Lesson 47

 

"God is the strength in which I trust. "

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Hey you guys, this is a new day with new messages and new ways to learn them. Truly it all takes us to the same place, and I am blessed to have my buddies to get there with. Friends are awesome, and so much fun, doesn't matter whether your going to school in kindergarten or going to school in ACIM, all is good, cause all is God. Let's get on some comfy clothes and just enjoy it all. Don't take the ride, let the ride take us through the next lesson.

 

 

Prayer: My gentle Christ, the experiencer, the who we truly are when we just let us be who we are designed to be. Enjoying ourselves every step of the way without worry, or regret. Life as it was made to be lived. Please guide us through the power of your Wholly Spirit to just simply be. Please truly grant us knowledge of your will and the power to carry it out. Also please remind us that you are doing for us what we can not do for ourselves. Allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "God is the strength in which I trust. " I thought this lesson was pretty cool, it reminds us that left to our little selves we have no strength at all, why? Because we are basically a computer enhanced fantasy. We are little robots of God. We were designed by God and our strength like everything else comes from God. You may have noticed the last bunch of lessons have focused on how the focus in on how we do everything with God, and nothing apart from God. When we see ourselves as real and try to us our strength, we stay small, weak and pathetic. When we trust the strength of God within us we can do anything God would have us do. Remember one of the hardest lessons to get is that we do not have free will, we have the illusion of free will, that means we are programmed to believe we have free will, that we have the ability to make choices, about what we think, what we do, where we go. But the truth is that we are made by design, to play the game God has created us to play, to fulfil the calling that has been set for us to awaken the world.

 

 

Thinking it Over: Sometimes it is quite easy to accept that I can't, God can, I think I'll let Him. Other times my little self either did not get or did not believe the memo. I am all powerful, I got this all day long, and I don't need God, I don't need anyone. The problem with this thinking is that I don't think I need God until I am placed in a situation that helps me to know that I do indeed need God's strength allways. One of my favorite analogies is when I have convinced myself I can wear a size 8 dress, now, the truth here is God made me a sturdy size 16 on a good day. So, what is gonna happen when I put this size 16 frame into a size 8 dress? All of a sudden the awareness that how God has made me is how I am becomes very clear. What messages has the little self and free will been telling you?

 

 

Tips & Tricks: I know, I know, so much to get and a lifetime to get it in. But what I have noticed when it comes to the Course, is that everything flows in an orderly direction, you might say by God's design. The best tip I can tell you is to just focus on asking God regularly for knowledge of his will and the power to carry that out. It takes all the guess work out of it, we put our faith in God's strength and move on down the road. Life on life's terms can be an amazing blast when you let yourself out to play.

 

Upon Closing: Wow that was a blast, it is wonderful when we can start realizing that God is truly doing for us what we can not do for ourselves and having that faith to just let God drive. I loved having you guys with me every minute, and after an awesome rest, I can't wait to get at it again tomorrow. Sleep Well. Love & Light,  Riki 🌈
