My Safety Is in Defenselessness

Your practicing will now begin to take the earnestness of love, to help you keep your mind from wandering from its intent. Be not afraid nor timid. There can be no doubt that you will reach your final goal. The ministers of God can never fail, because the love and strength and peace that shine from them to all their brothers come from Him. These are His gifts to you. Defenselessness is all you need to give Him in return. You lay aside but what was never real, to look on Christ and see His sinlessness. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.153.20)

Today my practice for today is to focus on accepting the constancy of Love and strength and peace that come from our one true Self — the Holy Spirit. My job is to be willing to step back from the dream and accept the gift consistently through the day. The Holy Spirit does the rest. The gift of truth is everything and shows me that the dream of separation is really nothing. There is nothing to fear as I am willing to step back and accept the Light of Love’s oneness all through the day.


A sense of vulnerability and a need to protect myself is a sure sign that I am believing in a false image of what I am. The Self that God created is changeless and shares His strength. No protection is needed because there is no strength but His.

Today I will practice being mindful of when I feel a need for protection and offer that thought to the Holy Spirit. With His help I will see that the need is based on a false idea and I will let it go. This is how I return to the joy of Heaven.
