The Holy Spirit cannot speak to an unwelcoming host, because He will not be heard. ²The Eternal Guest remains, but His Voice grows faint in alien company. ³He needs your protection, only because your care is a sign that you want Him. ⁴Think like Him ever so slightly, and the little spark becomes a blazing light that fills your mind so that He becomes your only Guest. ⁵Whenever you ask the ego to enter, you lessen His welcome. ⁶He will remain, but you have allied yourself against Him. ⁷Whatever journey you choose to take, He will go with you, waiting. ⁸You can safely trust His patience, for He cannot leave a part of God. ⁹Yet you need far more than patience.
You will never rest until you know your function and fulfill it, for only in this can your will and your Father’s be wholly joined. ²To have Him is to be like Him, and He has given Himself to you. ³You who have God must be as God, for His function became yours with His gift. ⁴Invite this knowledge back into your mind, and let nothing that obscures it enter. ⁵The Guest Whom God sent you will teach you how to do this, if you but recognize the little spark and are willing to let it grow. ⁶Your willingness need not be perfect, because His is. ⁷If you will merely offer Him a little place, He will lighten it so much that you will gladly let it be increased. ⁸And by this increase, you will begin to remember creation. (A Course in Miracles, T-11.II.5:1–6:8. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
God has given us all one function in this world. It is to remember that, like Him, we are Love and nothing else. When we remember that, we see everything and everyone as one with us in that Love. Nothing real exists outside of Love’s oneness.
We have been given a Helper in our mind to help us fulfill our purpose. But we must be willing to accept His help. He does not demand that our willingness be total. He will take our little willingness and make it whole by joining it with His Will.
Today we channel the urge to search for Love to open our mind to the Holy Spirit’s help. Only by following His direction will we be led to search where the Love we seek can be found. He will show us that Love is within us always. It is our true Self. This Self knows only Love is real and sees that Love in everyone. This is our mission.
