Offer Everyone Their Full Due

Mary:
Today we were guided to read A Course in Miracles Workbook, Lesson 37, “My holiness blesses the world.”

Your purpose is to see the world through your own holiness. Thus are you and the world blessed together. No one loses; nothing is taken away from anyone; everyone gains through your holy vision. It signifies the end of sacrifice because it offers everyone his full due. And he is entitled to everything because it is his birthright as a Son of God. (W-pI.37.1:2-6)

My job today is to offer everyone their full due. That is how I bless the world and help myself awaken to my true Identity. We all share one Identity. Accepting this and extending this is my purpose. The Light of God is all there is to see today. This brings me peace and joy.

Robert:
The central, ongoing, everyday lesson for me is to trust in Holy Spirit’s guidance. Since this world was made to deny my Identity as God created It, this world is the expression of distrust of my Self. The world establishes a surrounding that justifies distrust in what cannot be perceived through the body. In fact the body is the central figure in the denial of the reality of Love. It could be said that the mantra of this world is that what the body cannot perceive cannot be trusted.

But the effect of this distrust is ongoing fear because trust is being applied to an illusion of a world that has no substance. Trusting in what has no substance must bring fear with it. Symbolically it’s like stepping off a cliff and trusting that the air will support you. That’s what the ego tells us we are doing if we place our trust in Spirit. Yet actually the reality is the opposite. When we trust in the ego’s images, it is as if we are trusting in being supported by air. When we trust in the Holy Spirit, it’s like standing on an immovable rock.

So where do I want to place my trust? Do I want to be in fear or do I want to be certain of my safety? This is the choice between the world of dreams and the Reality of Love. I have experienced the blessing of remembering that my safety is in Love. In those moments I know without doubt that all my needs are met; I have everything I need when I need it. There is no concern about the future and the past is a forgotten memory. It is this awareness I want to keep in every moment.

This is my focus for today: I trust in God, Who is my Source and my strength. I need care for nothing, for I remain as God created me.
