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.)
The world we experience as a body reflects our decision to believe in a false identity which denies our birthright as God’s Son. We reverse this decision to deny God’s Love by choosing to accept our true Identity as Love. With this decision, we save ourselves from the hell of believing that we are separate from God in a loveless world. We accept the loving Self that is God’s one Son.
This Self sees no world of separation, no bodies, no forms of any kind. It knows only the oneness of God’s changeless Love, perfectly safe at Home in Heaven. This singular decision seems like many in the ego’s world because the decision for separation is reflected as many forms in the ego’s projected world.
As we let the Holy Spirit guide our perceptions of the world, we learn to recognize they are not true. We learn to see past our misperceptions to the eternal presence of Love. By this forgiveness process we release the world from what we believed it was and take another step toward salvation of the projected world. This practice is the only meaningful use of time in the world. It is the way we reclaim our birthright as God’s Son and awaken to the reality that God’s gift of Love remains the truth of What we are.
