Extending Love Inspires Gratitude

We sing the song of thankfulness today, in honor of the Self that God has willed to be our true Identity in Him. Today we smile on everyone we see, and walk with lightened footsteps as we go to do what is appointed us to do.

We do not go alone. And we give thanks that in our solitude a Friend has come to speak the saving Word of God to us. And thanks to you for listening to Him. His Word is soundless if it be not heard. In thanking Him the thanks are yours as well. An unheard message will not save the world, however mighty be the Voice that speaks, however loving may the message be.

Thanks be to you who heard, for you become the messenger who brings His Voice with you, and lets It echo round and round the world. Receive the thanks of God today, as you give thanks to Him.

(A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 123, W-pI.123.4:2-6:2. See also ACIM Lesson 123 Insights.)

Our function is to be a messenger for the Holy Spirit in the world. As we pay attention to His guidance and express it in the world, we learn to see past its false images to the unifying Love that is the truth in every brother and ourselves.

The daily, even moment-by-moment, practice of pausing to open our minds to receive the Holy Spirit’s guidance is how we fulfill our part in God’s plan for salvation of the world. This practice deepens our experience of peace and brings joy to our hearts as we become instruments of God’s Love.

This is the means God has given us to free ourselves from the limitations of the ego we accepted by believing separation is real. The blessing we experience by extending Love inspires gratitude that nothing ever happened to change our true Self, the Son God created one with Him.
