Lesson 21
This lesson helps me to see exactly as Jesus tells us, “you will become increasingly aware that a slight twinge of annoyance is nothing but a veil drawn over intense fury.” I have witnessed this within myself. I may seem slightly annoyed with something or someone, then powder keg explosives! This is why it is important to practice with even the so-called “little thoughts” of anger. We know not what they are about. Yet these attack thoughts are attacking our very nature and our connection with God. It may not seem that way when the situation seems warranted, i.e. someone calls you a name, or you get into a car accident. Underneath is something more nebulous.
By giving your best to the practice of this lesson today, your determination and resolve will become stronger and stronger. Use it every time you feel that twinge and you will be grateful in the end.
Peace,

Since you’re here… …we have a small favor to ask. More people are reading our posts, listening to our audios and watching our videos than ever before but far fewer are donating for it. As an all-volunteer ministry, you can see why we need to ask for your help. MiraclesOne provides ACIM resources freely however it takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe in encouraging others to practically apply the Course principles in their lives – because it might just make the one difference in your life. If everyone who reads, listens or watches and likes what we offer helps to pay for it we can continue to afford our expenses and keep our resources FREE to all ACIM Students. Monthly Donors receive free gifts in appreciation for their support.
