Fear is not justified in any form.
Fear is deception. It attests that you have seen yourself as you could never be, and therefore look upon a world which is impossible. Not one thing in this world is true. It does not matter what the form in which it may appear. It witnesses but to your own illusions of yourself. Let us not be deceived today. We are the Sons of God. There is no fear in us, for we are each a part of Love Itself.
How foolish are our fears! Would You allow Your Son to suffer? Give us faith today to recognize Your Son, and set him free. Let us forgive him in Your Name, that we may understand his holiness, and feel the love for him which is Your Own as well.
Hear His Voice alone in all that speaks to you. And let Him give you peace and certainty, which you have thrown away, but Heaven has preserved for you in Him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 240, W-pII.240;3.4:4-5. See also ACIM Lesson 240 Insights.)
We believe we are a body capable of being harmed and dying. If this were our real identity, fear would be inevitable. Yet the Course asks us to repeat many times a day for 20 days, “I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.” (Lessons 201-220) This fact, fully accepted as true, releases us of all fear. It returns us to the awareness of the invulnerability of the Love we are eternally.
In the world there seems to be much justification for fear of pain, loss and death. This comes only from believing the body is our identity. The Holy Spirit can help each of us release this fear if we are willing to open our minds to His vision. He will help heal our fear-based thoughts by showing us our invulnerability as God’s one Son. The Holy Spirit’s vision sees past the illusions of the world to the eternal, universal Presence of God’s Love.
Today, whenever we notice a fearful, guilty or judgmental thought, we ask the Holy Spirit to heal our fear-based thoughts. As we accept His healing, we become messengers of Love in a fearful and loveless world.
