Message: My only function is the one God gave me. The idea for today reaffirms your commitment to salvation. ²It also reminds you that you have no function other than that. ³Both these thoughts are obviously necessary for a total commitment. ⁴Salvation cannot be the only purpose you hold while you still cherish others. ⁵The full acceptance of salvation as your only function necessarily entails two phases; the recognition of salvation as your function, and the relinquishment of all the other goals you have invented for yourself. ³This is the only way in which you can find peace of mind. ²Today’s idea offers you escape from all your perceived difficulties. ³It places the key to the door of peace, which you have closed upon yourself, in your own hands. ⁴It gives you the answer to all the searching you have done since time began. …close your eyes, repeat the idea to yourself once again, and watch your mind carefully to catch whatever thoughts cross it. ³At first, make no attempt to concentrate only on thoughts related to the idea for the day. ⁴Rather, try to uncover each thought that arises to interfere with it. ⁵Note each one as it comes to you, with as little involvement or concern as possible, dismissing each one by telling yourself: ⁶This thought reflects a goal that is preventing me from accepting my only function. ⁴On this clean slate let my true function be written for me. ⁵You need not use these exact words, but try to get the sense of being willing to have your illusions of purpose be replaced by truth.” ²My only function is the one God gave me. ³I want no other and I have no other. (A Course in Miracles, W-65.1;2:3;3:2-4;5:2-6;6:4-5;8:2-3. See also ACIM Lesson 65 Insights.) As long as we let ego thoughts run rampant in our unconscious mind, we will remain imprisoned in the thought system that denies our Identity as God’s Son. We will seem to be at the mercy of forces beyond our control. But we have been given a way to unlock the prison door. We accept the function God gave us by paying attention to the thoughts that cross our mind. By making them conscious, we give ourselves the opportunity to dismiss the thoughts that are not loving. This makes way for our real Thoughts — the thoughts which reflect our function of extending God’s Love — to take their natural place. We are free to fulfill our only function as extensions of God’s Love. https://www.pathwaysoflight.org/index.php/daily_inspiration/13172
