Welcome to Active Meditation,

A Course in Miracles,

Lesson 166,

I am entrusted with the gifts of God.

All things are given you.

God's trust in you is limitless.

God gives without exception,

Holding nothing back that can contribute to your happiness.

And yet,

Unless your will is one with God's,

His gifts are not received.

Here is the paradox that underlies the making of the world.

This world is not the will of God,

And so it is not real.

God points to all the gifts you have each time the thought of poverty oppresses you.

God speaks of His companionship when you perceive yourself as lonely and afraid.

Yet,

God reminds you still of one more thing you had forgotten.

For Christ's touch on you has made you like Himself.

The gifts you have are not for you alone.

Say to yourself,

Say in your mind,

I am entrusted with the gifts of God.

Ponder on this.

I am entrusted with the gifts of God.

I am entrusted with the gifts of God.

What Christ has come to offer you,

You must now learn to give.

This is the lesson that His giving holds.

For He has saved you from the solitude you sought to make in which to hide from God.

Christ has reminded you of all the gifts that God has given you.

The gifts are yours,

Entrusted to your care,

To give to all who chose the lonely road you have escaped.

They do not understand,

They but pursue their wishes.

It is you who teach them now,

For you have learned from Christ that there is another way for them to walk.

Teach them by showing them.

Show them the happiness that comes to those who feel the touch of Christ and recognize God's gifts.

Repeat in your mind,

I am entrusted with the gifts of God.

Spend a few moments reflecting on the gifts God has entrusted to you.

What Christ has come to offer you,

You must now learn to give.

This is the lesson that His giving holds.

Those who accept God's gifts can never suffer anything.

You are entrusted with the world's release from pain.

Do not betray this trust.

Become the living proof of what Christ's touch can offer everyone.

God has entrusted all His gifts to you.

Be witness in your happiness to how transformed the mind becomes when it chooses to accept God's gifts and feel the touch of Christ.

Such is your mission now,

For God entrusts the giving of His gifts to all who have received them.

God has shared His joy with you.

Now you go to share it with the world.

I am entrusted with the gifts of God.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
