Bringing Love to a Loveless World

Salvation of the world depends on me.

Let us not fight our function. We did not establish it. It is not our idea. The means are given us by which it will be perfectly accomplished. All that we are asked to do is to accept our part in genuine humility, and not deny with self-deceiving arrogance that we are worthy. What is given us to do, we have the strength to do. Our minds are suited perfectly to take the part assigned to us by One Who knows us well.

All false humility we lay aside today, that we may listen to God’s Voice reveal to us what He would have us do. We do not doubt our adequacy for the function He will offer us. We will be certain only that He knows our strengths, our wisdom and our holiness. And if He deems us worthy, so we are. It is but arro­gance that judges otherwise.

Do as God’s Voice directs. And if It asks a thing of you which seems impossible, remember Who it is that asks, and who would make denial. Then consider this; which is more likely to be right? The Voice that speaks for the Creator of all things, Who knows all things exactly as they are, or a distorted image of your­self, confused, bewildered, inconsistent and unsure of every­thing? Let not its voice direct you. Hear instead a certain Voice, which tells you of a function given you by your Creator Who remembers you, and urges that you now remember Him.

He has Thoughts which answer every need His Son perceives, although He sees them not. For Love must give, and what is given in His Name takes on the form most useful in a world of form. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 186, W-pI.186.2;4;12;13:4-5. See also ACIM Lesson 186 Insights.)

The Holy Spirit is the Voice for Love. It speaks to us unceasingly of the Love we are. The Holy Spirit cannot see what we perceive as needs — lack, loss, illness, loneliness, guilt and protection from harm. But as the bridge between the Love of our true Self and the false image we believe we are, the Holy Spirit answers our need in forms we can accept to heal our misperceptions. His answers are always expressions of Love.

While we believe in the ego’s loveless world, we need to practice stepping back from this world to the quiet place within, which is our true Self. In this place we hear the Voice that teaches us to see the certainty of Love beyond the ephemeral images that seem to change with every whim. As we accept His lessons and demonstrate them, we bring salvation to the world.
