Dismantling Our Barriers to Love

Let me remember what my purpose is.

If I forget my goal I can be but confused, unsure of what I am, and thus conflicted in my actions. ²No one can serve contradicting goals and serve them well. ³Nor can he function without deep distress and great depression. ⁴Let us therefore be determined to remember what we want today, that we may unify our thoughts and actions meaningfully, and achieve only what God would have us do this day.

Father, forgiveness is Your chosen means for our salvation. ²Let us not forget today that we can have no will but Yours. ³And thus our purpose must be Yours as well, if we would reach the peace You will for us. (A Course in Miracles, W-257. See also ACIM Lesson 257 Insights.)

God’s Will is to be Love, eternally extending without limit. As His Son, we share that same Will. Yet when we accept the ego’s goals, we deny our true Will. While we dream the ego’s dream, our only meaningful purpose is to forgive the ego’s barriers to Love. As we forgive our wish for specialness and separation, we open the way for God’s Will to be expressed through us. We let Love flow.

Thus in this world, our purpose is forgiveness, which returns us to unity with God’s Will to be Love. We accept the Holy Spirit’s help to dismantle the walls ego has built and be the Love that is our Nature.
