Becoming a Messenger of God’s Love

Just as God’s Son completes his Father, so your part in it completes your Father’s plan. Salvation must reverse the mad belief in separate thoughts and separate bodies, which lead separate lives and go their separate ways. One function shared by separate minds unites them in one purpose, for each one of them is equally essential to them all.

God’s Will for you is perfect happiness. Why should you choose to go against His Will? The part that He has saved for you to take in working out His plan is given you that you might be restored to what He wills. This part is as essential to His plan as to your happiness. Your joy must be complete to let His plan be understood by those to whom He sends you. They will see their function in your shining face, and hear God calling to them in your happy laugh.

We will prepare ourselves for this today… by feeling happiness arise in us according to our Father’s Will and ours. …Then realize your part is to be happy. Only this is asked of you or anyone who wants to take his place among God’s messengers. Think what this means. You have indeed been wrong in your belief that sacrifice is asked. You but receive according to God’s plan, and never lose or sacrifice or die.

Look deep within you, undismayed by all the little thoughts and foolish goals you pass as you ascend to meet the Christ in you.

He will be there. You are essential to His plan. You are His messenger today. And you must find what He would have you give. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 100, W-pI.100.1-2;7:1,3-7;10:1-4. See also ACIM Lesson 100 Insights.)

Another Workbook lesson tells us that forgiveness is the key to happiness. When we forgive, “all the little thoughts and foolish goals” of the ego disappear. We free ourselves to meet the Christ within, our true Self. We experience the joy of our true nature. This joy lights our mind and brings light to minds saddened by joining with the ego’s denial of love. We become messengers of Love.

Today we pray: Holy Spirit, heal our minds of loveless thoughts that we may share God’s joy with our brothers.
