ACIM Manual For Teachers What are the Characteristics of God's Teachers? Joy Joy is the inevitable result of gentleness. Gentleness means that fear is now impossible, and what could come to interfere with joy? The open hands of gentleness are always filled. The gentle have no pain. They cannot suffer. Why would they not be joyous? They are sure they are beloved and must be safe. Joy goes with gentleness as surely as grief attends attack. God's teachers trust in Him. And they are sure His Teacher goes before them, making sure no harm can come to them. They hold His gifts and follow in His way, because God's Voice directs them in all things. Joy is their song of thanks. And Christ looks down on them in thanks as well. His need of them is just as great as theirs of Him. How joyous it is to share the purpose of salvation! |
Salvation must reverse the mad belief in separate thoughts and separate bodies, which lead separate lives and go their separate ways. One function shared by separate minds unites them in one purpose, for each one is equally essential to them all. ACIM Lesson 100 I have told you before that I am in charge of the whole Atonement. This is only because I completed my part in it as a man, and can now complete it through other men. Chap 4 Constant State I am in charge of the Second Coming..The second coming of Christ means nothing more than the end of the ego’s rule over part of the minds of men. Chap 4 Escape From Fear Grandeur is of God, and only of Him. Therefore, it is in you... Chap 9 Grandeur versus Grandiosity With the grandeur of God in you, you have chosen to be little and to lament your littleness. Within the system which dictated this choice the lament is inevitable... Whenever you question your value, say: “God Himself is incomplete without me.” Remember this when the ego speaks, and you will not hear it. Chap 9 Salvation & God's Will |
