“Do you really believe that part of God can be missing or lost to Him?”
Your place in God’s Mind
“your place in His Mind cannot be filled with anyone except you.” (ACIM)
without you there would be “an empty place in God’s Mind.”
Of course the Course simultaneously insists that God cannot actually be incomplete.
So the logic is: God is complete. You are part of His completeness. Therefore you cannot really be absent from Him.
“Infinity is meaningless without you, and you are meaningless without God.”
You are what God treasures
You are what God treasures
“Listen to the story of the prodigal son, and learn what God’s treasure is and yours: This son of a loving father left his home and thought he squandered everything for nothing of any value, though he did not know its worthlessness at the time. ⁵He was ashamed to return to his father, because he thought he had hurt him. ⁶But when he came home the father welcomed him with joy, because only the son himself was his father’s treasure. ⁷He wanted nothing else. ”
“God wants only His Son, because His Son is His only treasure. ²You want your creations, as He wants His. ³Your creations are your gift to the Holy Trinity, created in gratitude for your creation. ⁴They do not leave you, any more than you have left your Creator. ⁵But they extend your creation, as God extended Himself to you. ”
“You made neither yourself nor your function. ²You have made only the decision to be unworthy of both. ³But you could not make yourself unworthy because you are the treasure of God. ⁴What He values is valuable. ⁵There can be no question of its worth, because its value lies in God’s sharing Himself with it and establishing its value forever. ⁶Your function is to add to God’s treasure by creating yours. ⁷His will to you is His will for you. ⁸He would not withhold creation from you, because His joy is in it.”
“God would not have us be alone because He does not will to be alone. ²That is why He created His Son and gave him the power to create with Him. ³Our creations are as holy as we are, and we are the Sons of God Himself, and therefore as holy as He is. ⁴Through our creations we extend our love, and thus increase the joy of the Holy Trinity. ⁵You do not understand this for a very simple reason: You who are God’s Own treasure do not regard yourself as valuable. ⁶Given this belief, you cannot understand anything.”
