Worth - Words used in A Course in Miracles
Your worth is not established by teaching or learning. Your worth is established by God. T-4.I.7:1,2.
Your
worth is beyond perception because it is beyond doubt. Do not
perceive yourself in different lights. Know yourself in the One Light
where the miracle that is you is perfectly clear. T-3.V.10:7-9.
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. W.154.1:3-5. [Lesson: “I am among the ministers of
God.”]
Your
divided devotion has given you the two voices, and you must choose at
which altar you want to serve. The call you answer now is an
evaluation because it is a decision. The decision is very simple. It
is made on the basis of which call is worth more to you. T-5.II.8:9-12.
The
habit of engaging with God and His creations is easily made if you
actively refuse to let your mind slip away. The problem is not one of
concentration; it is the belief that no one, including yourself, is
worth consistent effort. T-4.IV.7:1,2.
Let
nothing that relates to body thoughts delay your progress to
salvation, nor permit temptation to believe the world holds anything
you want to hold you back. Nothing is here to cherish. Nothing here
is worth one instant of delay and pain; one moment of uncertainty and
doubt. The worthless offer nothing. W.128.4:1-4. [Lesson: “The
world that I see holds nothing that I want.”]
