We look past dreams today, and recognize that we need no defense because we are created unassailable, without all thought or wish or dream in which attack has any meaning. Now we cannot fear, for we have left all fearful thoughts behind. And in defenselessness we stand secure, serenely certain of our safety now, sure of salvation; sure we will fulfill our chosen purpose, as our ministry extends its holy blessing through the world.
Be still a moment, and in silence think how holy is your purpose, how secure you rest, untouchable within its light. God’s ministers have chosen that the truth be with them. Who is holier than they? Who could be surer that his happiness is fully guaranteed? And who could be more mightily protected? What defense could possibly be needed by the ones who are among the chosen ones of God, by His election and their own as well?
It is the function of God’s ministers to help their brothers choose as they have done. God has elected all, but few have come to realize His Will is but their own. And while you fail to teach what you have learned, salvation waits and darkness holds the world in grim imprisonment. Nor will you learn that light has come to you, and your escape has been accomplished. For you will not see the light, until you offer it to all your brothers. As they take it from your hands, so will you recognize it as your own. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 153, W-pI.153:9-11. See also ACIM Lesson 153 Insights.)
Happiness comes with fulfilling our purpose. The fundamental purpose we all share is to bring the Light of truth to the world. The form in which this is accomplished under Holy Spirit’s guidance is unique for each individual in the world. The Holy Spirit always uses our worldly skills and experiences on behalf of extending truth into the world of illusions.
By accepting Holy Spirit’s lead through the day we are accepting what God has chosen for us — to be His messenger of Love and Light. With this practice we learn that we have all of His Love. We know the Light has come. God’s joy is ours. Our joy is complete when we wholly accept we are one with all our brothers.
