On This Clean Slate Let My True Function Be Written for Me
It’s almost January 1st. Time for a new beginning.
And where better to start than the loving classroom of A Course in Miracles? To bring in the new year right-mindedly, I’d like to share with you some phrases from the Course that are so simple and beautiful they lift the heart, bring tears to the eyes, and open the doorway to Heaven.

The truth upsets you now, but when your words have been erased, you will see His.”
Lesson 65 gives us an exercise to help us discover the function God gave us, “On this clean slate let my true function be written for me.”
And Lesson 276, “The Word of God is given me to speak” asks and answers, “What is the Word of God? My Son is pure and holy as Myself.”

This Innocence has nothing to do with naivete, purity or the body. It is the Innocence of Unity. What is Unified cannot be guilty of anything for It is Joined in an Absolute Loving State of Mind. It is a return to Love.
Ask yourself, “What is the Word of God?” Then answer, “I am pure and holy as God Himself.” This year, open to receive the Loving Message God has for you. How powerful and beautiful to be a clean slate …
