Letting Our Light Shine in the World

Humility consists of accepting your role in salvation and in taking no other. It is not humility to insist you cannot be the light of the world if that is the function God assigned to you. It is only arrogance that would assert this function cannot be for you, and arrogance is always of the ego.

True humility requires that you accept today’s idea [that you are the light of the world] because it is God’s Voice which tells you it is true. This is a beginning step in accepting your real function on earth. It is a giant stride toward taking your rightful place in salvation. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 61, W-pI.61.2:3-3:3. See also ACIM Lesson 61 Insights.)

It is our function to let the Light of the Love we are shine on all that we perceive. Love sees only Love or a calls for Love. We let our Light shine by joining with the Love in everyone, and answering calls for Love with Love.

To recognize calls for we Love, we need to let our true Self, the Holy Spirit, guide our vision. This means we need to redirect our attention from the ego thought system, which is the denial of Love. Instead we need to direct our attention to the Love within Which will shine Its Light on all we look upon, showing us the reality of Love beyond the shadows of the ego’s illusions.

We dedicate today to following our true Self’s vision so that we let our Light shine in the world.
