I have a special place to fill; a role for me alone. Salvation waits until I take this part as what I choose to do. Until I make this choice, I am the slave of time and human destiny. But when I willingly and gladly go the way my Father’s plan appointed me to go, then will I recognize salvation is already here, already given all my brothers and already mine as well.
Father, Your way is what I choose today. Where it would lead me do I choose to go; what it would have me do I choose to do. Your way is certain, and the end secure. The memory of You awaits me there. And all my sorrows end in Your embrace, which You have promised to Your Son, who thought mistakenly that he had wandered from the sure protection of Your loving Arms. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 317, W-pII.317. See also ACIM Lesson 317 Insights.)
What is the way appointed us? It is the way of Love. It is the path of removing the barriers to Love’s presence. It is a journey of forgiveness, of letting go of mistaken beliefs that we could change ourselves from being the Love that we were created to be.
We are not alone on this journey. We have a Guide, given us by our Creator, to lead us through the wilderness we have dreamed as a substitute for our Reality in Love. On our own we do not know the way out of the wilderness, but our Guide lights the way. It is this way that leads us back to the joy and Love of Heaven, our Home. We choose to follow this Guide today to fill the role appointed us.
