I surely want this to be true. When I think of what kind of person I want to be at middle age, and what kind of person is needed in the world, I come up with the same thing : compassion and kindness. In service. May it be so.
Big issue: there are many who rebel against the notion "in God all things are programmed to be perfect" since many think this idea means we are predestined without true free will! So this conflicts with the infinite possibilities that may manifest in a holy instant.
It's a conundrum but I vote for ' now' as our reality since past and future are mere illusions and delusions too. Discipline to stay in the present moment or now, however, isn't simple since it requires discipline not common among most, including myself! To me this is the greatest personal life challenge. It's worth the energy to, at the least, try it 😃!
I just read Lesson 166 in ACIM and am connecting to the gifts I have been bestowed and entrusted by God that are now mine to give away. I am truly blessed to be here, right now, and gratefully joyful for ALL of my life and where I am being led! Thank you Marianne for sharing God's inclusive everlasting love extended through you to us! 💞
