Quote from ACIM Text Chapter 5, Section 3 - The Voice for God.
The voice of the Holy Spirit does not command, because It is incapable of arrogance. It does not demand, because It does not seek control. It does not overcome, because It does not attack. It merely reminds. It is compelling only because of what It reminds you of. It brings to your mind the other way, remaining quiet even in the midst of the turmoil you may make. The voice for God is always quiet, because It speaks of peace. Peace is stronger than war because it heals. War is division, not increase. No one gains from strife. What profiteth it a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? If you listen to the wrong voice you have lost sight of your soul. You cannot lose it, but you can not know it. It is therefore "lost" to you until you choose right.

Hello Ig,
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog by looking at your profile after reading some of your posts at the DU list. *long-winded sentence--tee hee* Anyway, I like it. I am keen on listening for the Voice for God, my Appointed Friend. The peace within matches that voice. I like it! Keep up the great work reaching out to help wake both of us up.
