All We Could Ever Want

"No call to God can be unheard nor left unanswered.  And of this I can be sure; His answer is the one I really want." -- A Course in Miracles; Workbook Lesson 358

There are calls and answers bombarding us every day.  At work, at home, at church, and even on the internet we are called on to help, to assist, to serve.  At home, at work, at church, and through our internet connections, we also call on others to help, to assist, and to serve.  But calling out to God is not like this.  We think God should respond like a 'good' human.  And we humanly act like we expect God to help, to assist, or to serve us in our need as we see it. 

How could this be possible?  Our God-Self knows that the projections we see are phantoms... they are all made up.  Our real need is to awaken from the grip of our own delusions.  Jesus knew this, and in his compassion told us quite plainly that "God is no respecter of persons, for he makes His sun to shine on the evil and the good."  In other words, the sun shines... that's what it does, without judgment as to who or what it shines on and through.  The sun gives life by being what it is.  God IS... Being IS... Awareness IS... that's what it IS and what it does, without judgment or interference.  God IS life and love and goodness itself, and by Being in God, we too have all life and love and goodness.  It's only the cloud projections of our own thought-forms, our own stories, which hide this from our awareness. 

What then, does our quote mean when it reassures us that "No call to God can be unheard or unanswered?"  To really understand this, to really glimpse it, is freedom.

In many, many posts here on this blog we've repeated the Truth that sets us free... we are created in the image of God... perfect, whole, and completely spiritual, as God is Spirit.  The Truth that answers us when we call can only answer spiritually and always and only reminds us of the Truth... that we are perfect, whole, and holy... perfect reflections of the Love of God.  That any imagined need is met in this knowing.  That imagined needs arise out of forgetting Who We Are.  The Grace and Love of God, our true Source and Ground of Being, is truly our sufficiency in all things.

Which brings us to the second part of the above quote... that "of this I can be sure; His answer is the one I really want."  We can always be sure that the remembrance of the Truth of Being, of our eternal perfection and goodness and love, is all we ever really wanted, and all we could ever want.  

"God hides nothing from His Son, even though His Son would hide himself.  You will never lose your way, for God leads you.  When you wander, you but undertake a journey that is not real." -- A Course in Miracles; Chapter 11, Section III, 5:1, 3-4
