ACIM Lesson 238
On my decision all salvation rests.
At first, the thought that all salvation rests on my decision can feel like an impossible weight. Yet this lesson does not speak of God placing a burden upon me. It speaks of His trust. God knows me as I truly am, beneath every doubt and mistaken thought. If He has placed His Son’s salvation in my hands, it can only be because He knows the holiness within me is still intact.
Every thought becomes a choice between fear and love, separation and oneness. Because all minds are joined, the choice I make does not end with me. When I release a grievance, choose peace, or allow love to guide my response, that decision may touch people and circumstances I will never know about. Love extends beyond the limits of what I can see.
Today I can pause and choose again. I do not have to save the world through effort. I need only choose the thought that leads toward love. In that quiet decision, I accept the sacred trust God has placed in me, and salvation extends through us all.
A Listening Practice
Before entering the silence, you may wish to listen to today’s Prayer Song.
Let the words and music be with you for a while. There is nothing to understand and nothing you need to accomplish.
When the music ends, allow the quiet to remain.
Rest with the lesson.
Listen.
