It is not our part to judge our worth, nor can we know what role is best for us; what we can do within a larger plan we cannot see in its entirety.
Whatever your appointed role may be, it was selected by the Voice for God, Whose function is to speak for you as well. Seeing your strengths exactly as they are, and equally aware of where they can be best applied, for what, to whom and when, He chooses and accepts your part for you. He does not work without your own consent. But He is not deceived in what you are, and listens only to His Voice in you.
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.154.1:5;2;11. See also ACIM Lesson 154 Insights.)
As we experience the blessing of learning the lessons from A Course in Miracles, it is natural to want to share those blessings. Love naturally wants to extend Itself.
It is important that we not decide on our own the form in which we share the blessing. While we are still identified with a body, our perception is severely limited. On our own we do not know what is truly helpful. But the Holy Spirit within our minds sees all things truly. He knows what is truly helpful. He knows how to extend messages of Love that will bless rather than foster fear.
Our job is to maintain our identification with Love and be Love’s presence in our thoughts, words and actions. For some of us there may be no external forms identifiable as being an aspect of ministry. But through our thoughts and inner vision, we bring messages of Love. Others may be led to more overt actions. Always we must let Holy Spirit guide us in each moment. This is how we are truly helpful and serve as messengers of Love.
