Choosing to Fulfill Our Purpose

[Believing] the world [is real] gives rise but to defensiveness. For threat brings anger, anger makes attack seem reasonable, honestly provoked, and righteous in the name of self-defense.

We look past dreams today, and recognize that we need no defense because we are created unassailable, without all thought or wish or dream in which attack has any meaning. Now we cannot fear, for we have left all fearful thoughts behind. And in defenselessness we stand secure, serenely certain of our safety now, sure of salvation; sure we will fulfill our chosen purpose, as our ministry extends its holy blessing through the world.

Be still a moment, and in silence think how holy is your purpose, how secure you rest, untouchable within its light. God’s ministers have chosen that the truth be with them. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 153, W-pI.153.2:1-2;9:1-10:2. See also ACIM Lesson 153 Insights.)

Everyone’s ministry, no matter what role they seem to play in the world, is to extend Love. If anyone does not appear to be extending Love, it is only because the world seems real both to that person and the perceiver. Both need healing because in their mind they have identified with the mistaken belief that separation is real.

When we choose to accept our true purpose, our mind is healed by accepting the reality of Love. There is no room for separation in Love’s oneness. As we accept Love’s reality, we automatically extend Love to our brothers and recognize the truth in them is one with the truth in us; we are of one Mind, the Mind of God.

Today we choose to accept and fulfill our purpose by choosing the Holy Spirit as our Guide in all our doing. With this choice, Love directs us and transforms our perceptions. By choosing no exceptions, our minds are healed and we remember God.

God’s Special Plan for Our Awakening

I follow in the way appointed me.

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.)

We each have a unique role in God’s plan for our salvation because we believe we are a special, unique identity, separate from all others. It is this false identity that we must let go to remember the one Identity we share with All That is. We each need a unique plan for awakening customized to heal the set of false beliefs that stand between what we believe we are and our true Self at Home in Heaven.

The Holy Spirit will guide us gently and lovingly in the way to heal our mind of false beliefs. Each time we forgive a mistaken belief, the whole Sonship is blessed as we are blessed. Today we choose the Holy Spirit as our Guide in what to think, say and do. For we would follow God’s plan for our awakening to Love.
