Why would you not be overjoyed to be assured that all the evil that you think you did was never done, that all your sins are nothing, that you are as pure and holy as you were created, and that light and joy and peace abide in you? ²Your image of yourself cannot withstand the Will of God. ³You think that this is death, but it is life. ⁴You think you are destroyed, but you are saved.
The self you made is not the Son of God. ²Therefore, this self does not exist at all. ³And anything it seems to do and think means nothing. ⁴It is neither bad nor good. ⁵It is unreal, and nothing more than that.
Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. ²Over and over this must be repeated, until it is accepted. ³It is true. ⁴Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. ⁵Nothing can touch it, or change what God created as eternal. ⁶The self you made, evil and full of sin, is meaningless. ⁷Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God, and light and joy and peace abide in you.
If a situation arises that seems to be disturbing, quickly dispel the illusion of fear by repeating these thoughts again. ²Should you be tempted to become angry with someone, tell him silently:
³Light and joy and peace abide in you.
⁴Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. (A Course in Miracles, W-93.4:1–5:5;6;11:1-4. See also ACIM Lesson 93 Insights.)
This lesson assures us that we live in Light, joy and peace. It is guaranteed by God. Nothing we do, say or think can void His guarantee. We can only make nightmares of darkness, unhappiness and conflict that are not real.
We can awaken from unhappy dreams of sin by applying the practice in this lesson. If we feel guilty for something we did or did not do, we can remind ourselves, “Light and joy and peace abide in me. My sinlessness is guaranteed by God.” If we feel lonely of afraid, we can remind ourselves that we dwell in the oneness of God’s Love, guaranteed by Him.
If our peace is disturbed by the words or actions of another, we need to affirm to that person in our mind, “Light and joy and peace abide in you. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God.” What we affirm to others, we affirm to ourselves.
As we observe the miracles that occur when we accept the truth of these statements, we will experience the fact that we abide in God’s Light, joy and peace, guaranteed.
