⁵It 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. ²Seeing 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. ³He does not work without your own consent. ⁴But He is not deceived in what you are, and listens only to His Voice in you.
It is through His ability to hear one Voice which is His Own that you become aware at last there is one Voice in you. ²And 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. ³God has joined His Son in this, and thus His Son becomes His messenger of unity with Him.”
²It is this Voice which speaks of laws the world does not obey; which promises salvation from all sin, with guilt abolished in the mind that God created sinless. ³Now this mind becomes aware again of Who created it, and of His lasting union with itself. ⁴So is its Self the one reality in which its will and that of God are joined. (A Course in Miracles, W-154.1:5;2:1–3:3;4:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 154 Insights.)
The ego has an agenda. Everything it directs us to do is dedicated to the pursuit of guilt. It disguises this pursuit in appealing forms that seem like something we would want. Yet they all reinforce the seeming reality that separation actually happened. The ego always directs us on meaningless pursuits that offer us nothing, for they are all illusions.
The Holy Spirit has a different plan for us. It is a plan given him by God to awaken us lovingly and gently to our Home in the Heaven of His Love. This is the plan our true Self treasures. All we really want is to know the Love God has given us. For this we need only be willing to let His Voice be our Guide.
Today we ask the Holy Spirit to guide all our words, thoughts and actions, for we want to awaken to Love.
