Our True Self Is Our Strength

Strength is the truth about you; weakness is an idol falsely worshipped and adored that strength may be dispelled, and darkness rule where God appointed that there should be light.

Strength comes from truth, and shines with light its Source has given it; weakness reflects the darkness of its maker. It is sick and looks on sickness, which is like itself. Truth is a savior and can only will for happiness and peace for everyone. It gives its strength to everyone who asks, in limitless supply. It sees that lack in anyone would be a lack in all. And so it gives its light that all may see and benefit as one. Its strength is shared, that it may bring to all the miracle in which they will unite in purpose and forgiveness and in love.

Strength and light unite in you, and where they meet, your Self stands ready to embrace you as Its Own. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 92, W-pI.92.4:7-5:7;9:2. See also ACIM Lesson 92 Insights.)

The ego is weakness and darkness because it is the denial of Love, which is the source of all strength and Light. Any time we feel weak in any way, we are identifying with the ego and its false images. Yet the strength and Light of our true Self is always with us. Denial of Its presence makes us unaware that It is there, yet It is still with us. The ego has no power to keep us in darkness and weakness. It is only our identification with the ego, with weakness and darkness, that makes it seem true to us.

Our true Self carries with It God’s strength and Light. As we disengage from identifying with the ego as what we are, we open to the strength and Light of our true Self. The nature of our true Self is to offer and see strength and Light everywhere. As we identify with the Love we are, we naturally offer Love and Light and strength to everyone. Our true Self always blesses and we know we are blessed.

Today we remind ourselves through the day that Light and strength and Love are with us and happily share it everywhere.
