I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts.
Father, Your Son is perfect. ²When I think that I am hurt in any way, it is because I have forgotten who I am, and that I am as You created me. ³Your Thoughts can only bring me happiness. ⁴If ever I am sad or hurt or ill, I have forgotten what You think, and put my little meaningless ideas in place of where Your Thoughts belong, and where they are. ⁵I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts. ⁶The Thoughts I think with You can only bless. ⁷The Thoughts I think with You alone are true.
I will not hurt myself today. ²For I am far beyond all pain. ³My Father placed me safe in Heaven, watching over me. ⁴And I would not attack the Son He loves, for what He loves is also mine to love. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 281. See also ACIM Lesson 281 Insights.)
To believe the ego is our identity is to believe in limitation which could only occur if separation were real. Accepting any form, including the body, as real is a choice against our true Self. Our true Self knows no limitation, for It shares God’s limitlessness. Our true Self knows only the reality of God—His peace, His joy, His changeless Love.
We are hurting ourselves when we believe we are a body in a world defined by forms. These are the limiting, meaningless thoughts that we need to let go. The Holy Spirit calls us to lean on Him as our Guide to release ourselves from our self-imposed limitations. He recognizes our mistaken beliefs and provides a bridge for us to walk across from our world of make believe to the reality of our Home in Heaven’s Love.
Today we choose to lean on Him, for we would have a happy, peaceful and loving day.
