I am God’s Son, complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of His Love. In me is His creation sanctified and guaranteed eternal life. In me is love perfected, fear impossible, and joy established without opposite. I am the holy home of God Himself. I am the Heaven where His Love resides. I am His holy Sinlessness Itself, for in my purity abides His Own.
The truth of what we are is not for words to speak of nor describe. Yet we can realize our function here, and words can speak of this and teach it, too, if we exemplify the words in us.
We are the bringers of salvation. We accept our part as saviors of the world, which through our joint forgiveness is redeemed. And [forgiveness], our gift, is therefore given us. We look on everyone as brother, and perceive all things as kindly and as good. We do not seek a function that is past the gate of Heaven. Knowledge will return when we have done our part. We are concerned only with giving welcome to the truth. (A Course in Miracles Workbook 14. What Am I, W-pII.14.1;2:4-3:7. See also ACIM Lesson 351 Insights.)
The Holy Spirit’s purpose is to teach us to accept our Identity as God’s Son. God’s holiness and Love are ours because He created His Son one with Him.
The world we experience as a body is a dream that denies our oneness with God. If we are willing, the Holy Spirit will teach us how to forgive this denial. As the bridge between God’s Creation and the limited self-identity we made, the Holy Spirit uses symbols in the world to guide us Home. He teaches us to forgive and see past the images of the world to join with the Love that is ever present everywhere.
The first paragraph quoted here reminds us of our true Identity as God’s Son. It bears repeating again and again to help us remember Who we are. Forgiveness clears away the shadows of denial and opens the door to welcome the Light of Love. Today we practice holding our minds open to the Holy Spirit’s guidance, for we would bring Love’s peace to the world of fear. This is how we reclaim our true Identity.
