Accepting Love’s Attributes as Our Own

Love created me like Itself.

Holiness created me holy.
Kindness created me kind.
Helpfulness created me helpful.
Perfection created me perfect.

Any attribute which is in accord with God as He defines Himself is appropriate for use. We are trying today to undo your definition of God and replace it with His Own. We are also trying to emphasize that you are part of His definition of Himself.

…reach past all your images and preconceptions about yourself to the truth in you. If Love created you like Itself, this Self must be in you. And somewhere in your mind It is there for you to find.

You need to hear the truth about yourself as frequently as possible, because your mind is so preoccupied with false self-images.

This is the Voice for God, reminding you of your Father and of your Self. This is the Voice of truth, replacing everything that the ego tells you about yourself with the simple truth about the Son of God. You were created by Love like Itself. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 67,W-pI.67.2:3-9;3:3;5:2;6:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 67 Insights.)

The image of a body that we identify as our self is a false image. It was not created by Love, Which has no form nor distinctions of any kind. Love is one and universal. If Love created us like Itself, then we all must be united as one in Love’s oneness. And we must have all of Love’s attributes. This only seems hard to believe because we are so heavily invested in being a separate, limited identity, defined by the body and what we believe the body experiences.

Today’s practice is helping us to identify with our the attributes of our true Self. As we accept this truth about ourselves, we become our brothers’ savior, for we demonstrate to our brothers that we are untied in Love. This is how we save the world from its misperceptions.
