God has condemned me not. No more do I.
My Father knows my holiness. ²Shall I deny His knowledge, and believe in what His knowledge makes impossible? ³Shall I accept as true what He proclaims as false? ⁴Or shall I take His Word for what I am, since He is my Creator, and the One Who knows the true condition of His Son?
Father, I was mistaken in myself, because I failed to realize the Source from which I came. ²I have not left that Source to enter in a body and to die. ³My holiness remains a part of me, as I am part of You. ⁴And my mistakes about myself are dreams. ⁵I let them go today. ⁶And I stand ready to receive Your Word alone for what I really am. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 228. See also ACIM Lesson 228 Insights.)
The world we experience as a body is a dream founded in a mistaken belief about what we are. We do not have to experience the pain, loss, loneliness, fear and guilt that we experience in this dream. Mistaken thoughts about ourselves can be corrected. God has given us His Corrector to help us learn the truth of What we are. We remain eternally united with our Creator. As we let go of our mistaken thoughts about ourself, the dream fades and we become increasingly aware of the sure protection of our Home in the Heart of God.
Anytime we think we can be harmed by any thing or circumstance, we are belittling or condemning our self. We are seeing our self as less than God created us — vulnerable to a force greater than our true Self. Yet God gave us all His power when He created us like Himself. There is no greater power. We are safe, for we are the strength and power of God.
