Let me remember God created me.
Father, I did not make myself, although in my insanity I thought I did. ²Yet, as Your Thought, I have not left my Source, remaining part of Who created me. ³Your Son, my Father, calls on You today. ⁴Let me remember You created me. ⁵Let me remember my Identity. ⁶And let my sinlessness arise again before Christ’s vision, through which I would look upon my brothers and myself today.
Now is our Source remembered, and Therein we find our true Identity at last. ²Holy indeed are we, because our Source can know no sin. ³And we who are His Sons are like each other, and alike to Him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 260. See also ACIM Lesson 260 Insights.)
If we believe the world we see through the body’s eyes is real, we suffer from an identity crisis. We have denied our true Identity. What remains is but an ephemeral fantasy of a substitute identity that seems to change with the mood of the hour. This fantasy is vulnerable to apparent attacks from other identities, machines, politics, weather, even the earth. Nothing is stable in this fantasy. Anxiety and uncertainty are ever present. This need not be.
Our true Identity is as changeless as God Himself, for It is one with Him. We share His power and His eternal Love, His sinlessness and peace. We join with Him in the joyful, eternal extension of Love. Suffering is impossible when we accept our Identity as God’s Creation, His Son. We remember our Identity by forgiving the fantasy conjured by the ego’s wish to be separate. Our acceptance of our eternal oneness with our Creator is our salvation.
