What Are The Characteristics of God's Teachers? (continued)

2

All differences among the Sons of God are temporary. Nevertheless, in time it can be said that the advance teachers of God have the following characteristics:

1. Trust

3

This is the foundation on which their ability to fulfill their function rests.

Perception is the result of learning. In fact, perception is learning, because cause and effect are never separated.

The teachers of God have trust in the world because they have learned it is not governed by the laws the world made up.

It is governed by a Power which is in them but not of them.

It is this Power that keeps all things safe.

It is through this Power that the teachers of God look on a forgiven world.

4

When this Power has once been experienced, it is impossible to trust one's own petty strength again.

Who would attempt to fly with the tiny wings of a sparrow when the mighty power of an eagle has been given him?

And who would place his faith in the shabby offerings of the ego when the gifts of God are laid before him?

What is it that induces them to make the shift?

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind...Romans 12:2

My sinlessness ensures me perfect peace, eternal safety, everlasting love, freedom forever from all thought of loss, complete deliverance from suffering. ACIM Lesson 337 - My sinlessness protects me from all harm.

Can you imagine what it means to have no cares, no worries, no anxieties, but merely to be perfectly calm and quiet all the time? Yet that is what time is for; to learn just that and nothing more. Chap 15 Purpose of Time
