Welcome to Active Meditation,
A Course in Miracles,
Lesson 171.
Review,
Lesson 152.
Steady our feet.
Let our doubts be quiet.
Let our holy minds be still and speak to us.
Lead our practicing.
We will listen to your word and make it ours.
We accept the word you offer us to unify our practicing as we review the thoughts that you have given us in these lessons.
Review,
Lesson 152.
God is love,
Therefore the power of decision is my own.
What can God know of the ephemeral,
The sinful,
And the guilty?
What can God know of the afraid,
The suffering,
And lonely?
What can God know of the mind that lives within a body that must die?
You accuse God of insanity to think that God made a world where such things seem to have a reality.
God is not mad,
Yet only madness makes a world like this.
To think that God made chaos contradicts God's will.
To think that God invented opposites to truth.
To think that God suffers death to triumph over life.
All this is arrogance.
Humility would see at once these things are not of God.
Say to yourself,
Say in your mind,
The power of decision is my own.
God is love,
Therefore,
And repeat,
The power of decision is my own.
Ponder on this.
God is love,
Therefore,
The power of decision,
God is love,
Therefore,
The power of decision is my own.
God is love,
Therefore,
So am I,
The power of decision is my own.
Nothing real can be threatened,
Nothing unreal exists,
Herein lies the peace.
