Our footsteps have not been unwavering, and doubts have made us walk uncertainly and slowly on the road this course sets forth. But now we hasten on, for we approach a greater certainty, a firmer purpose and a surer goal.
Steady our feet, our Father. Let our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be still, and speak to us. We have no words to give to You. We would but listen to Your Word, and make it ours. Lead our practicing as does a father lead a little child along a way he does not understand. Yet does he follow, sure that he is safe because his father leads the way for him.
So do we bring our practicing to You. And if we stumble, You will raise us up. If we forget the way, we count upon Your sure remembering. We wander off, but You will not forget to call us back. Quicken our footsteps now, that we may walk more certainly and quickly unto You. And we accept the Word You offer us to unify our practicing, as we review the thoughts that You have given us.
God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
This Self alone knows Love. This Self alone is perfectly consistent in Its Thoughts; knows Its Creator, understands Itself, is perfect in Its knowledge and Its Love, and never changes from Its constant state of union with Its Father and Itself. (, A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson Review V, W-pI.revV.1:5-3:6;4:3-5)
The ego tells us that God is judgmental, punitive and may, at a whim, end our life and condemn us to hell. This image is certainly frightening. But it’s really the ego’s projection of its own image. The ego’s version of eternity is unforgivable guilt. It is this ego fantasy that needs to be undone for us to remember the changeless of God’s Love.
Reminding ourselves frequently that “God is but Love, and therefore, so am I” is a way to undo the ego’s definition of God. Love does not condemn. Love is one and there is nothing real outside of Love. Love does not change nor come and go with a whim. It has no degrees or variations. It gives wholly of Itself with no limitations as It extends Itself to all.
This is the Love that we are, united with our Creator. This is the Love that will bring us certainty, a sense of safety and peace that cannot be disturbed. It brings the gift of joy beyond description. This is what we claim when we remind ourselves, “God is but Love and therefore so am I.”
