Hear… a certain Voice, which tells you of a function given you by your Creator Who remembers you, and urges that you now remember Him.
His gentle Voice is calling from the known to the unknowing. He would comfort you, although He knows no sorrow. He would make a restitution, though He is complete; a gift to you, although He knows that you have everything already. He has Thoughts which answer every need His Son perceives, although He sees them not. For Love must give, and what is given in His Name takes on the form most useful in a world of form.
These are the forms which never can deceive, because they come from Formlessness Itself. Forgiveness is an earthly form of love, which as it is in Heaven has no form. Yet what is needed here is given here as it is needed. In this form you can fulfill your function even here, although what love will mean to you when formlessness has been restored to you is greater still. Salvation of the world depends on you who can forgive. Such is your function here. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 186, W-pI.186.12:6-14:5. See also ACIM Lesson 186 Insights.)
We were created as God’s extension of Love. As Love’s extension, our only function is to extend Love.
In the dream of separation, the forms of the world stand as barriers to Love’s extension. Forgiveness removes these barriers to let Love extend Itself. Each time we let ourselves be taught that forms have no meaning nor substance, we learn to see past form. The Love we are is free to be Itself.
Holy Spirit, help us to recognize forms for what they are that we may see past them to the reality of Love everywhere. We would accept Your help so that we may accept our function in God’s plan of salvation.
