Being a Beacon of Love for the World

Just as God’s Son completes his Father, so your part in it completes your Father’s plan. ²Salvation must reverse the mad belief in separate thoughts and separate bodies, which lead separate lives and go their separate ways. ³One 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. ²Why should you choose to go against His Will? ³The 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. ⁴This part is as essential to His plan as to your happiness. ⁵Your joy must be complete to let His plan be understood by those to whom He sends you. ⁶They will see their function in your shining face, and hear God calling to them in your happy laugh.

…your part is to be happy. ⁴Only this is asked of you or anyone who wants to take his place among God’s messengers.

⁵Look 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. ²You are essential to His plan. ³You are His messenger today. ⁴And you must find what He would have you give. (A Course in Miracles, W-100.1–2;7:3-4;8:5;10:1-4. See also ACIM Lesson 100 Insights.)

Happiness comes with accepting our true Self as God created It. This acceptance comes as we forgive the wish for specialness and separation, in all the many forms in which it appears in the world. Our true Self remains one with our Creator. Thus our happiness can only be found within, where we recognize the Self that lives in Love’s oneness.

To bring this Self to the forefront of our awareness, we must let ourselves settle past all the images of the world to the peace within. Here is where our happiness lies. From this center of happiness and peace, the Light we are radiates to the world. As we accept this Light for ourselves, we become beacons in the world that show the way to the Heaven of God’s Love.
