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.)
We all have a purpose, a role to play in bringing healing to the world. In the world, these roles seem to be different. But the underlying purpose is the same — to recognize that we are all united in the oneness of Love. This is God’s Will for us, for He wills that we remain eternally united in His Love.
To guide us in fulfilling our purpose, we are given the Voice for God. This Voice could be called an intermediary between God and the part of His Son that has forgotten Who he is. The Holy Spirit’s purpose is to teach us to distinguish what is true from what is false. With His help, we learn to let go of our investment in the forms of the world and let the Light of Love in every brother have our full attention.
The way in which we accomplish this awareness is tailored to the needs we believe we have as a separate identity. It is our personal curriculum which leads us to experiences that help us learn the truth that we are Love and nothing else. Every experience is a lesson God would have us learn.
