You are as God created you. The sounds of this world are still, the sights of this world disappear, and all the thoughts that this world ever held are wiped away forever by this one idea. Here is salvation accomplished. Here is sanity restored.
If you remain as God created you, you must be strong and light must be in you. He Who ensured your sinlessness must be the guarantee of strength and light as well. You are as God created you.
Today we will again devote the first five minutes of each waking hour to the attempt to feel the truth in you. Begin these times of searching with these words:
I am as God created me.
I am His Son eternally.Now try to reach the Son of God in you. This is the Self that never sinned, nor made an image to replace reality. This is the Self that never left Its home in God to walk the world uncertainly. This is the Self that knows no fear, nor could conceive of loss or suffering or death. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 94,W-pI.94.1:2-5;2:2-4;3. See also ACIM Lesson 94 Insights.)
Our true Self is what God created. It shares all of God’s attributes, for It remains united with Its Source. This is why we are still as God created us. God does not change, so the Self that remains united with Him cannot change.
The self that we believe we are in the world denies our unity with God. Thus it seems that we are different, loveless, capable of harm and being harmed. This belief makes us feel we are guilty for the harm we think we have done and fearful of retaliation. But this belief in what we are is a false image and could never be true.
As we remind ourselves that we remain as God created us, His Son eternally, we loosen the belief in the false image of a limited, loveless self. We open the door to the recognition that God’s strength and Light is ours. Our belief in the false self fades as the Light of our true Self shines brighter in our mind. Today’s practice leads us on the path of awakening to our true Self.
