When you’re doing the work and fulfilling God’s plan for salvation, there’s never a sense of overload. You can do all things you’re asked to do. A Course in Miracles says, “It cannot be that it is hard to do the task that Christ appointed you to do, since it is He Who does it.” T-25.I.1 That is the easiest thing in the world. You don’t need to do anything. Christ does it through you and for you. There can be no overwhelm in that.
Only when you think you are the doer of these works will you feel fatigue. Paying attention to how you feel is crucial. It will show you whether you are being self-dependent or Christ-dependent. When you are emotionally dependent on Christ, what more could you need? You become dependent like a child, only now you are lined up with Source. This is security. It’s not an interactive thing. We’re not looking outside for an external confirmation that we are taken care of.
This is the easy life. It’s not contingent on outcomes; you’re not waiting for things to take place in the future. Christ runs the show as a beneficent instructor who knows your best interest and is always giving you direction. When you simply listen and follow, you feel the joy. Things work out again and again. This is the easy life, indeed!
