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. ⁶Our part is cast in Heaven, not in hell.
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.
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-154.1:5-6;2:1-2;3;4:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 154 Insights.)
Judgment is a principle tool in the ego’s bag of tricks. It is used to reinforce beliefs that separation is real. It is also used to disown guilt and project it. The ego does not take responsibility for the illusions it makes. It realizes that if the source of guilt and fear were recognized, it would quickly be dismissed as meaningless because it is not real.
Today we are called to turn over all judgment to the Holy Spirit. Its judgments are simple and definitive. It simply recognizes what is real and dismisses the unreal. When we let the Holy Spirit judge all things on our behalf, we will learn to see the unity of Love that is everywhere and let illusions of separation be dispelled. This is our journey of awakening to Love.
