Willingness to Accept Help to Awaken to Love

The plan [for your salvation] is not of you, nor need you be concerned with anything except the part that has been given you to learn. ²For He Who knows the rest will see to it without your help. ³But think not that He does not need your part to help Him with the rest. ⁴For in your part lies all of it, without which is no part complete, nor is the whole completed without your part.

You may wonder how you can be at peace when, while you are in time, there is so much that must be done before the way to peace is open. ²Perhaps this seems impossible to you. ³But ask yourself if it is possible that God would have a plan for your salvation that does not work. ⁴Once you accept His plan as the one function that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the Holy Spirit will not arrange for you without your effort. ⁵He will go before you making straight your path, and leaving in your way no stones to trip on, and no obstacles to bar your way. ⁶Nothing you need will be denied you. ⁷Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away before you reach it. ⁸You need take thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only purpose that you would fulfill. ⁹As that was given you, so will its fulfillment be. ¹⁰God’s guarantee will hold against all obstacles, for it rests on certainty and not contingency. ¹¹It rests on you. ¹²And what can be more certain than a Son of God? (A Course in Miracles, T-20.IV.6:1-4;8. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The plan for our awakening is for us to see the innocence of Love in everyone. In the dream we do not see innocence while we see ourselves as separate individuals. The oneness of Love has no differences nor distinctions. God’s plan requires only our willingness to see the innocence of Love in everyone, including ourselves.

Willingness to forgive our wish for individuality and distinctions is all that is required to open the door to the Holy Spirit’s unlimited help. This willingness may be only partial at first. But every moment of willingness allows the Holy Spirit to bring more of the Light of Love to our troubled mind. This Light shines away the dark illusions of separation. As we let this Light in, we become increasingly aware of the Love that is in every heart, everywhere, always.

It is the Holy Spirit’s purpose to assist us on this journey of awakening. It is the journey out of illusions that returns us to the oneness of Love. Today we are willing to accept His help to see with the eyes of Love.
