Lesson 154 –
I am among the ministers of God. ACIM W.p1.154
What an amazing idea, being among – or perhaps surrounded by – the ministers of God. I often replace the word “God” with Source or Oneness. As I have grown on my spiritual journey, I have come to understand the idea of God less as a personality out there and more as the joined minds and spirits of all of creation. This is my current view and is likely to change and grow. I also support your understanding of God. We are free to make our own choices on our journey. The diversity of our ideas and growth is such a blessing as I learn from each and every one I come in contact with. Safely, of course. The One Mind – of which we are entirely – is an amazing concept and gift. I resolve to see each and every one of us in the light of our shard holiness and love in Oneness.
We have a function in this world. We share that function with all of creation. Yet, our function appears unique and custom tailored to suit how we and others perceive this world at this moment. May we accept our role, whatever form it takes. Our function’s form is perfectly suited to us and to another. May we be open to Spirit’s guiding – the guidance that is planted deep inside our being at our creation. It is there imbued with our own holiness.
Let us today be neither arrogant nor falsely humble. We have gone beyond such foolishness. We cannot judge ourselves, nor need we do so. These are but attempts to hold decision off, and to delay commitment to our function. It is not our part to judge our worth, nor can we know what role is best for us; what we can do within a larger plan we cannot see in its entirety. Our part is cast in Heaven, not in hell. And what we think is weakness can be strength; what we believe to be our strength is often arrogance. W-pI.154.1:1-7
May we allow ourselves to learn this lesson for today. We will not recognize what we receive until we give it. We have heard this said a hundred ways, a hundred times, and yet we still don’t believe it. But this is sure; until we believe it, we will receive a thousand miracles and then receive a thousand more. Yet we will not recognize that all we are given we already have. For not the tiniest of blessings has been denied us. What can this mean to us until we have identified with our Source and who we really are in Oneness?
Our lesson for today is stated thus:
I am among the ministers of God, and I am grateful that I have the means by which to recognize that I am free. W-pI.154.13:1-2
Let me you with this thought from today’s lesson:The world recedes as we light up our minds, and realize these holy words are true. They are the message sent to us today from our Creator. Now we demonstrate how they have changed our minds about ourselves, and what our function is. For as we prove that we accept no will we do not share, our many gifts from our Creator will spring to our sight and leap into our hands, and we will recognize what we received. W-pI.154.14:1-4
