It is through [the Voice for God’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. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.154.3)
In general terms we have one function — to forgive, to look past all appearances. In each moment the Voice for God gives us the specific application of forgiveness. Whatever we perceive in the world needs to be recognized as just an appearance and looked past to see the unity of Love.
The appearance may be in the form of a relationship, a bill to pay, a piece of equipment to repair or a deadline to meet. From the perspective of separation, these may bring up feelings of irritation, frustration, stress or some other form of disturbance of our peace. They are all opportunities to apply the one function given us by our inner Teacher.
We can look past all appearances to the unity of Love if we accept the Holy Spirit’s help. He gives us His strength and His vision. It is through His strength, not our own as a separate identity, that we are able to look beyond appearances. His strength is enough to guarantee success when we are willing to accept His help.
Today we dedicate to accepting the strength of God in us, offered us by the Holy Spirit, so that we may be messengers of God’s unity.
