The Dedication to Joy

⁴Those who receive the Father are one with Him, being host to Him Who created them. ⁵And by allowing Him to enter, the remembrance of the Father enters with Him, and with Him they remember the only relationship they ever had, and ever want to have.

“This is the time in which a new year will soon be born from the time of Christ. ²I have perfect faith in you to do all that you would accomplish. ³Nothing will be lacking, and you will make complete and not destroy. ⁴Say, then, to your brother:

⁵I give you to the Holy Spirit as part of myself.
⁶I know that you will be released, unless I want to use you to imprison myself.
⁷In the name of my freedom I choose your release, because I recognize that we will be released together.

⁸So will the year begin in joy and freedom. ⁹There is much to do, and we have been long delayed. ¹⁰Accept the holy instant as this year is born, and take your place, so long left unfulfilled, in the Great Awakening. ¹¹Make this year different by making it all the same. ¹²And let all your relationships be made holy for you. ¹³This is our will. ¹⁴Amen.” (A Course in Miracles, T-15.XI.9:4–10:14. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

As long as we accept the perception that there are “others”, different and separate from ourselves, we will remain locked in the dream. This perception is false. As we forgive ourselves for the wish for specialness, we will recognize our brothers as part of our one Self.

We are responsible for the thoughts we entertain and accept as real. But thoughts based on a false belief can never be real. Let us join in a dedication to offering all our brothers to the Holy Spirit. We are all students of our inner Teacher.

As we accept His lessons, we bring our brothers with us. As we see ourselves whole, we see our brothers one with us. They are not different and separate. What is one is all the same. With this dedication, this year will be joyous.
