Whatever your appointed role may be, it was selected by the Voice for God, Whose function is to speak for you as well. …He is not deceived in what you are, and listens only to His Voice in you.
It is through [the Holy Spirit’s] ability to hear one Voice which is His Own that you become aware at last there is one Voice in you. And that one Voice appoints your function, and relays it to you, giving you the strength to understand it, do what it entails, and to succeed in everything you do that is related to it. God has joined His Son in this, and thus His Son becomes His messenger of unity with Him.
We practice giving Him what He would have, that we may recognize His gifts to us. He needs our voice that He may speak through us. He needs our hands to hold His messages, and carry them to those whom He appoints. He needs our feet to bring us where He wills, that those who wait in misery may be at last delivered. And He needs our will united with His Own, that we may be the true receivers of the gifts He gives. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 154, W-pI.154.2:1,4;3;11. See also ACIM Lesson 154 Insights.)
When we believe in the ego thought system of separation, we are deceiving ourselves about what we are. We believe we are a body, on our own and alone. But we are not eternally lost in this wilderness because the Holy Spirit remains in our mind to bring us the message that we remain one with Love as Love created us.
To know our oneness with our Source, we must recognize our oneness with all our brothers. That is the message the Holy Spirit offers in every moment. As we let go of the false self-image and see our brothers truly, we experience our oneness with our Source more and more. As we practice accepting the Holy Spirit’s vision to see as He sees, we accept His gift of freedom to be Love and nothing else. Today we practice accepting Holy Spirit’s gift of true vision.
