In each five minutes that you spend with Him, He will accept your words and give them back to you all bright with faith and confidence so strong and steady they will light the world with hope and gladness. Do not lose one chance to be the glad receiver of His gifts, that you may give them to the world today.
Give Him the words, and He will do the rest. He will enable you to understand your special function. He will open up the way to happiness, and peace and trust will be His gifts; His answer to your words. He will respond with all His faith and joy and certainty that what you say is true. And you will have conviction then of Him Who knows the function that you have on earth as well as Heaven. He will be with you each practice period you share with Him, exchanging every instant of the time you offer Him for timelessness and peace. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 98, W-pI.98.8-9). See also ACIM Lesson 98 Insights.
The ego would tell us that to believe we have anything to do with salvation of the world is the utmost in grandiosity. But the Course tells us that denying our part in God’s plan is arrogant; it is saying we know better than God what we are capable of.
The Course also tells us that our part is very simple. We need only be willing to accept our part and He will do the rest. He will help us understand our function when we choose the Holy Spirit as our Teacher instead of the ego. As we remind ourselves of our willingness to accept our part in God’s plan for our salvation, He will teach us the way to happiness and we will be given His peace and trust.
