ACIM Lesson 143
Lesson 143
My mind holds only what I think with God.
(125) In quiet I receive God’s Word today.
(126) All that I give is given to myself.
I love that I can receive God’s Word today and all day long. All I have to do is listen. I was watching a YouTube video that talked about the Israelites wandering in the desert. They received many miracles from God but they complained about their plight. We might think of this as whining. Haha. The speaker in this video, Andy Andrews, said that in the Bible it was said that they murmured. I liked that word, murmured, and I thought about times when I have murmured about my life.
I murmured about things I didn’t like. And about things that scared me, things that I thought shouldn’t happen. But here is the thing. When I murmur, when I listen to the thoughts of the ego, that is all I hear. Listening to my murmurs, I cannot hear the Holy Spirit telling me of the miracles that are mine if I want them.
An Uncomplaining Mind
I can hear the ego or I can hear the Holy Spirit. I cannot hear them both at the same time and so, I am paying attention to this now. So, in the quiet of an uncomplaining mind, I receive God’s Word today and every day. And if I am not aware of the Voice for God, then I notice what it is my mind is murmuring about. I remind myself that as I lose interest in the ego-mind, the Voice for God becomes clear. I remember that this is what I want.
My efforts to live these lessons are my gifts to the world. The Holy Spirit makes sure they are given where they can be received. And since all that I give is given to myself, each time they are accepted by someone, they return to me. My understanding is increased and my mind is further healed.
