I feel the Love of God within me now.
The Love of God is what created me. The Love of God is everything I am. The Love of God proclaimed me as His Son. The Love of God within me sets me free.
I choose the joy of God instead of pain.
Pain is my own idea. It is not a Thought of God, but one I thought apart from Him and from His Will. His Will is joy, and only joy for His beloved Son. And that I choose, instead of what I made.
I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 209, W-pI.209:1-5;210:1-8. See also ACIM Lesson 209 Insights.)
The body is an image made by the ego. It represents thoughts that deny our oneness in the Love of God and reinforces thoughts of separation. All pain, whether physical or emotional, is associated with our identification as a body. This is why the Course emphasizes repeatedly that we are not a body.
As we learn that we are not a body, we free ourselves from the limits belief in the body imposes. The seeming reality of the body comes entirely from our belief. Without our belief, the body would hold no value to us. We would know that we are free to accept that we are at one with God, that we have all of His Love, joy and peace.
We need the help of our inner Teacher to help us see beyond the body with Christ’s vision. His vision shows us the limitless Love hidden by the forms of the world. With practice, the vision of Christ becomes more real to us and identification with the body fades.
Today we welcome Christ’s vision, for we choose the Love of God instead of the ego’s denial of Love.
