Welcome to Active Meditation.
Course in Miracles Lesson 98 I will accept my part in God's plan for salvation.
Today is a day of special dedication.
We take a stand,
But on one side,
Today.
We side with the truth and let illusions go.
We will not vacillate between the two,
But take a firm position with the One.
We dedicate ourselves to truth today,
And to salvation as God planned it be.
We will not argue salvation is something else.
We will not seek for truth and salvation where it is not.
In gladness,
We accept salvation as it is,
And take the part assigned to us by God.
How happy to be certain all our doubts we lay aside today,
And take our stand with certainty of purpose,
And with thanks that doubt is gone and surety has come.
We have a mighty purpose to fulfill,
And have been given everything we need with which to reach the goal.
Not one mistake stands in our way,
For we have been absolved from errors.
All our sins are washed away by realizing they were but mistakes.
The guiltless have no fear,
For they are safe and recognize their safety.
The guiltless do not appeal to magic nor invent escapes from fancied threats without reality.
The guiltless rest in quiet certainty that they will do what it is given them to do.
The guiltless do not doubt their own ability,
Because they know their function will be fulfilled completely in the perfect time and place.
The guiltless took the stand which we will take today,
That we may share their certainty and thus increase it by accepting certainty ourselves.
The guiltless will be with us.
All who took the stand we take today will gladly offer us all they learned and every gain they made.
Those still uncertain too will join with us,
And borrowing our certainty will make our certainty stronger still.
While those as yet unborn will hear the call we heard and answer it when they have come to make their choice again,
We do not choose but for ourselves today.
Is it not worth five minutes of your time each hour to be able to accept the happiness that God has given you?
Is it not worth five minutes hourly to recognize your special function here?
Is not five minutes but a small request to make in terms of gaining a reward so great it has no measure?
You have made a thousand losing bargains at the least.
Here is an offer guaranteeing you your full release from pain of every kind and joy the world does not contain.
You can exchange a little of your time for peace of mind and certainty of purpose with the promise of complete success.
And since time has no meaning,
You are being asked for nothing in return for everything.
Here is a bargain that you cannot lose,
And what you gain is limitless indeed.
Each hour today,
Give God your tiny gift of but five minutes.
God will give the words you use in practicing today's idea,
The deep conviction and the certainty you lack.
God's words will join with yours.
And make each repetition of today's idea a total dedication made in faith,
As perfect and as sure as God's in you.
God's confidence in you will bring the light to all the words you say,
And you will go beyond their sound to what they really mean.
Today,
You practice with God as you say,
I will accept my part in God's plan for salvation.
In each five minutes that you spend with God,
God will accept your words and give them back to you,
All bright with faith and confidence,
So strong and steady they will light the world with hope and gladness.
Do not lose one chance to be the glad receiver of God's gifts,
That you may give them to the world today.
Let's practice.
Say to yourself,
Say in your mind,
I will accept my part in God's plan for salvation.
Now,
Give God the words,
And God will do the rest.
God will enable you to understand your special function.
I will accept my part in God's plan.
God will open up the way to happiness.
I will accept my part in God's plan.
Peace and trust will be God's gifts.
I will accept my part in God's plan.
God will respond with faith and joy and certainty that what you say is true,
And you will have conviction then of the one who knows the function that you have on earth as well as heaven.
Say to yourself again,
I will accept my part in God's plan for salvation.
God will be with you each practice period you share with God,
Exchanging every instant of the time you offer to God for timelessness and peace.
Dashboard here on this.
I will accept my part in God's plan for salvation.
I will accept my part in God's plan for salvation.
I will accept my part in God's plan for salvation.
Throughout the hour,
Let your time be spent in happy preparation for the next five minutes that you will spend again with God.
Repeat today's idea,
I will accept my part in God's plan for salvation,
While you wait for the glad time to come to you again.
Spend it often,
And do not forget,
Each time you do so,
You have let your mind be readied for the happy time to come.
And when the hour goes,
And God is there once more to spend a little time with you,
Be thankful and lay down all earthly tasks,
All little thoughts and limited ideas,
And spend a happy time again with God.
Tell God once more that you accept the part that God would have you take and help you fill.
I will accept my part in God's plan for salvation.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
