God’s Insurance Plan
One of my favorite quotes from A Course in Miracles (T-20.IV.8:4-12) is one that is included in Pathways of Light ministerial training course 201: Adventure into the Sacred Life — Introduction to Spiritual Ministry. Here Jesus lovingly explains to us how we are taken by the hand when we commit to following God’s Plan. I feel such power emanating from those words, and I feel so safe when I read them. It’s like having a Mega-Eternal-Perfect-God-Given Insurance Plan with no expiration date. And it’s not “like having,” we do have it forever. Wow!
Jesus reassures us that when we accept God’s Plan, there will be nothing that the Divine arranger of all things perfect, the Holy Spirit, “will not arrange for you without your effort.” So the plan will involve no effort on our part.
Is relief the correct term for what I feel when I read this? It is more like a deep sense of resting in God. We all need to realize it in the depth of our heart, so that we can enjoy the gift of reassurance.
“He will go before you making straight your path and leaving in your way no stones to trip on and no obstacles to bar your way.” My first reaction to this is, “too good to be true.” Then Spirit bathes me with the light of His Wisdom and I know in my heart that It’s Perfectly Good because it is Perfectly True!
Everything you need will be given you and every difficultly “will melt away before you reach it.” We must not forget the heavenly promises that we are heir to. This is the true abundance of the Spirit. In the words of this quote, the treasures that we partake of are brought back to our awareness. We have never walked alone.
God’s plan will definitely always be assured us; it’s fulfillment is given and also guaranteed. Is there anything we need to be preoccupied about? If time could ever be wasted, it would be wasted by our worrisome thoughts. There is no need to spend time worrying or thinking things will not work out for us.
Insurance means guaranteed protection, and God’s plan offers perfect insurance, for it “rests on certainty and not contingency. It rests on you. And what can be more certain than a Son of God.” My dear friends, following God’s plan makes it possible that we walk through life in perfect security and with perfect trust, knowing we are held while taken on a safe journey back Home; a journey without distance, a journey back to the Heart of God!
