Let us not fight our function. ²We did not establish it. ³It is not our idea. ⁴The means are given us by which it will be perfectly accomplished. ⁵All that we are asked to do is to accept our part in genuine humility, and not deny with self-deceiving arrogance that we are worthy. ⁶What is given us to do, we have the strength to do. ⁷Our minds are suited perfectly to take the part assigned to us by One Who knows us well.
³We will be certain only that He knows our strengths, our wisdom and our holiness. ⁴And if He deems us worthy, so we are.
Do as God’s Voice directs. ²And if It asks a thing of you which seems impossible, remember Who it is that asks, and who would make denial. ³Then consider this; which is more likely to be right? ⁴The Voice that speaks for the Creator of all things, Who knows all things exactly as they are, or a distorted image of yourself, confused, bewildered, inconsistent and unsure of everything? ⁵Let not its voice direct you. ⁶Hear instead a certain Voice, which tells you of a function given you by your Creator Who remembers you, and urges that you now remember Him.
⁴He has Thoughts which answer every need His Son perceives, although He sees them not. ⁵For Love must give, and what is given in His Name takes on the form most useful in a world of form. (A Course in Miracles, W-186.2;4:3-4;12;13:4-5. See also ACIM Lesson 186 Insights.)
We believe in a world of form, which is not real. Love, in reality, has no form. But to bring healing to our mind invested in form, Love must be expressed in forms that are understood. For this we need the Holy Spirit’s help.
We ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in the way of Love. As we let Him direct our thoughts and actions, we bring Love’s healing message to the world. The expressions of Love we give the world heal our minds as they heal the world. We would be Love’s messengers today.
