[I am as God created me is] the one idea which brings complete salvation; the one statement which makes all forms of temptation powerless; the one thought which renders the ego silent and entirely undone. ²You are as God created you. ³The 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. ⁴Here is salvation accomplished. ⁵Here is sanity restored.
True light is strength, and strength is sinlessness. ²If you remain as God created you, you must be strong and light must be in you. ³He Who ensured your sinlessness must be the guarantee of strength and light as well. ⁴You are as God created you.
⁵Now try to reach the Son of God in you. ⁶This is the Self that never sinned, nor made an image to replace reality. ⁷This is the Self that never left Its home in God to walk the world uncertainly. ⁸This is the Self that knows no fear, nor could conceive of loss or suffering or death.
…be sure to respond to anyone who seems to irritate you with these words:
⁶You are as God created you.
⁷You are His Son eternally. (A Course in Miracles, W-94.1:1–2:4;3:5-8;5:5-7. See also ACIM Lesson 94 Insights.)
Because we are as God created us, we must be Love and nothing else. Because Love is one and all of Reality, there is no greater strength. Love is our Reality. When we affirm that we are as God created us, we claim the strength of Love.
In this world we can remind ourselves of our strength and Love when we affirm, “I am as God created me.” We also remind ourselves of this Reality when we respond to another with the thought, “You are as God created you. You are His Son eternally.” This is our practice for today.
