I follow in the way appointed me.
I have a special place to fill; a role for me alone. ²Salvation waits until I take this part as what I choose to do. ³Until I make this choice, I am the slave of time and human destiny. ⁴But when I willingly and gladly go the way my Father’s plan appointed me to go, then will I recognize salvation is already here, already given all my brothers and already mine as well.
“Father, Your way is what I choose today. ²Where it would lead me do I choose to go; what it would have me do I choose to do. ³Your way is certain, and the end secure. ⁴The memory of You awaits me there. ⁵And all my sorrows end in Your embrace, which You have promised to Your Son, who thought mistakenly that he had wandered from the sure protection of Your loving Arms. (A Course in Miracles, W-317. See also ACIM Lesson 317 Insights.)
God’s plan for us in this world is a journey of forgiveness. Through forgiveness we let go of our judgments, which are always based on some form that we believe can or has harmed us. Yet these forms are just made up images, made by the ego to make separation seem real. The images themselves are not real, nor has there ever been any separation from our Father and all His Love.
The plan we must follow seems like a journey only because we need to be convinced that there is nothing of meaningful value in this world. Each time we forgive, we let go of value we have mistakenly given an image. With this letting go, the image fades and the Light of Love takes its place.
We have been given a Guide for this journey. His sole purpose is to show us the images we perceive have no substance and can do nothing to our true Identity. As we follow His lead, we let go of our mistaken perceptions and awaken to the Love that is our true Home.
