Blessing the World with Love’s Miracles

My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today
Have but one purpose; to be given Christ
To use to bless the world with miracles.

Father, I give all that is mine today to Christ, to use in any way that best will serve the purpose that I share with Him. Nothing is mine alone, for He and I have joined in purpose. Thus has learning come almost to its appointed end. A while I work with Him to serve His purpose. Then I lose myself in my Identity, and recognize that Christ is but my Self. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 353, W-pII.353. See also ACIM Lesson 353 Insights.)

The sole purpose of the Christ is to bless the world with miracles. The Christ is the part of our mind that remembers only Love is real. It remembers the unbroken unity with our Father.

The world is a construct based on the belief in separation from our Creator. When we join with the purpose of the Christ in us, we let go of the ego’s purpose to separate and deny Love. We bring Love to the world made to deny Love. It is the Love we bring that blesses the world.

As we commit to share the Christ’s purpose to bring Love to the world, we learn that Love is already ours. We learn that our true Self is Love and nothing else, as is the Christ. We learn that our true Self is God’s one Son, united with our Father. Our unity with the Love of God is unbreakable.

Instead of following the ego’s purpose to separate and hate, today we choose Christ’s purpose by committing the body to use to bring Love’s blessing to the world.

Love Knows No Limits

It is only the awareness of the body that makes love seem limited. For the body is a limit on love. The belief in limited love was its origin, and it was made to limit the unlimited. Think not that this is merely allegorical, for it was made to limit you. Can you who see yourself within a body know yourself as an idea? Everything you recognize you identify with externals, something outside itself. You cannot even think of God without a body, or in some form you think you recognize.

The body is a tiny fence around a little part of a glorious and complete idea.

Each body seems to house a separate mind, a disconnected thought, living alone and in no way joined to the Thought by which it was created. Each tiny fragment seems to be self-contained, needing another for some things, but by no means totally dependent on its one Creator for everything; needing the whole to give it any meaning, for by itself it does mean nothing. Nor has it any life apart and by itself. (A Course in Miracles, T-18.VIII. 1;2:5;5:2-4. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

In truth we are all one Love, joined in the unity of the Self God created as His one Son. There are no differences or distinctions in Love’s oneness; nothing that can be set apart and remain Love.

This changeless oneness cannot be experienced in the world. Our identification with the body distinct from other bodies makes us unaware of our unity in Love. Yet our lack of awareness does not change our unity in Love. Love created us like Itself. Because only Love is real, nothing but Love exists in truth. Our true Self knows no limits. Because It is Love, It is eternally extending that Love to all. Love is our strength, our very Life.

Our attempt to limit Love by identifying with the body leaves us feeling alone and vulnerable. Yet God’s strength is still ours. His strength is available to us in every now moment. As we learn to recognize our true Identity is Love, we realize the body has no meaning of its own. All the things that seem to disturb us in the world stem from believing our little self, fenced off by a body, is real. This belief can be changed.

We have been given a Teacher in our mind to distinguish the false images of separation from the unity of Love that we are. With His help, we learn to let go of our attachment to bodies and what they do. We learn to look past appearances of form in the world to the Light of Love in everyone. With this vision comes increasing peace and happiness.

The Bridge of Return to Love

The Holy Spirit is described as the remaining Communication Link between God and His separated Sons. In order to fulfill this special function the Holy Spirit has assumed a dual function. He knows because He is part of God; He perceives because He was sent to save humanity. He is the great correction principle; the bringer of true perception, the inherent power of the vision of Christ. He is the light in which the forgiven world is perceived; in which the face of Christ alone is seen. He never forgets the Creator or His creation. He never forgets the Son of God. He never forgets you. And He brings the Love of your Father to you in an eternal shining that will never be obliterated because God has put it there.

The Holy Spirit abides in the part of your mind that is part of the Christ Mind. He represents your Self and your Creator, Who are One. He speaks for God and also for you, being joined with Both. And therefore it is He Who proves Them One. He seems to be a Voice, for in that form He speaks God’s Word to you. He seems to be a Guide through a far country, for you need that form of help. He seems to be whatever meets the needs you think you have. But He is not deceived when you perceive your self entrapped in needs you do not have. It is from these He would deliver you. It is from these [illusionary needs] that He would make you safe. (A Course in Miracles, C-6.3-4)

True communication can only occur in the oneness of formless Love. It is the eternal sharing of unlimited Love.

The world we experience is the effect of the ego’s decision to limit love by separating from it. True communication in Love is broken by this limitation. It leaves us feeling that we lack Love. The Course defines sin as lack of love (T-1.IV.3:1), which is experienced as guilt or sin.

The Holy Spirit’s function is to heal this false perception. The core belief in separation is disguised by the ego in many forms. We see it in our judgments about others and ourselves. Even perceiving a brother is a judgment that makes him appear separate from us. It is a reflection of our own belief in being separate. All the “problems” we experience in the world stem from our belief in being separate.

The Holy Spirit understands that we believe we have problems. He knows they are unreal and He understands that we believe they are real. As God’s Voice, the Holy Spirit offers us help to change our interpretation of the problems we perceive. He offers us a way of seeing adapted to where we believe we are in a form that we can accept. This is His function that bridges between His knowing of God’s formless Love and his understanding of our perceptions of differences, separation and lack of Love.

The practice of beginning the day with a willingness to receive Holy Spirit’s Help and asking for His Help when needed throughout the day will help us along the bridge of return to Love. Each time we accept the Holy Spirit’s Help leads us toward the gates of Heaven, where all judgments and beliefs in separation have been let go and we are welcomed into God’s Love.
