On my decision all salvation rests.
Father, Your trust in me has been so great, I must be worthy. You created me, and know me as I am. And yet You placed Your Son’s salvation in my hands, and let it rest on my decision. I must be beloved of You indeed. And I must be steadfast in holiness as well, that You would give Your Son to me in certainty that he is safe Who still is part of You, and yet is mine, because He is my Self.
And so, again today, we pause to think how much our Father loves us. And how dear His Son, created by His Love, remains to Him Whose Love is made complete in him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 238, W-pII.238. See also ACIM Lesson 238 Insights.)
Our Self was created perfect by the Source of perfection. This is the only Reality. This description of our Self is the complete opposite of the self image made by the ego. This false image is ingrained in our concept of ourself so firmly that the idea of being created perfect is unbelievable, even considered blasphemous.
But we are being called to let go of the ego’s false image and accept the Reality of our one Self, Which unites us with every brother and our Creator. This is the decision we must make. We do not need to do anything to qualify as God’s Son. It is simply a fact that could never be changed because it is part of the changelessness of God.
Because of our investment of the dream of a separate identity, it takes time for our inner Teacher to train us forgive the fear-based false image and accept God’s gift of all His Love. The decision to choose the Holy Spirit’s guidance instead of the ego’s will restore our awareness to the fact that we are perfect as God’s Creation.
