My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today Have but one purpose; to be given Christ To use to bless the world with miracles.
Father, I give all that is mine today to Christ, to use in any way that best will serve the purpose that I share with Him. Nothing is mine alone, for He and I have joined in purpose. Thus has learning come almost to its appointed end. A while I work with Him to serve His purpose. Then I lose myself in my Identity, and recognize that Christ is but my Self. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 353, W-pII.353. See also ACIM Lesson 353 Insights.)
This prayer could be called a dedication for a teacher of God. Accepted and applied, this dedication would lead us to extend Love throughout the day through our thoughts, our words and actions. We would be instruments for Christ’s expression in the world.
This world is a dream in which the ego’s denial of Love is played out through seemingly unending conflict. Perceiving itself as alone, the ego is in constant fear of its vulnerability to outside forces that can harm or even kill it. Its greatest fear is that Love be welcomed, for Love would bring the end of separation, the end of the ego.
In this dream world we have a mission—to bring Love to the world. We seem to be here because we have accepted the ego’s version of our identity—a little, separated self, alone, friendless, guilty and afraid. It is not the truth of our Identity. In every moment we can choose to let our true Identity extend Love’s blessing to the world.
As we perceive the world today, we practice asking, “How would Love see this? What would Love have me do and say?” As we accept the guidance of Love, we become teachers of God in a world hungry for Love.
