I will there be light.
²I will use the power of my will today. ³It is not my will to grope about in darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of things unseen and unreal. ⁴Light shall be my guide today. ⁵I will follow it where it leads me, and I will look only on what it shows me. ⁶This day I will experience the peace of true perception.
There is no will but God’s.
²I am safe today because there is no will but God’s. ³I can become afraid only when I believe there is another will. ⁴I try to attack only when I am afraid, and only when I try to attack can I believe that my eternal safety is threatened. ⁵Today I will recognize that all this has not occurred. ⁶I am safe because there is no will but God’s.
²Let me perceive this in accordance with the Will of God.
³It is God’s Will you are His Son, [name], and mine as well.
⁴This is part of God’s Will for me, however I may see it. (A Course in Miracles, W-87.1;3;4:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 87 Insights.)
To “will there be Light” is to see all things in Love. Light is an attribute of Love. If we see our brother with Love, we see him one with us as the Son of God. Love’s Light dispels the shadows of the ego’s thoughts of separation. When we see with Love’s Light, we are at peace, for we know we are invulnerable in the sure protection of Love’s changelessness.
Due to our wish for specialness, we have aligned with the ego’s denial of God’s Love. The effect of this denial is a dream of fear and guilt, lack and loss. Whenever we do not feel peaceful, happy and loving, we have aligned with the ego’s thoughts. A sense of vulnerability and weakness is inevitable because the ego denies the only Source of strength.
But our true Self is one with the Source of all strength, which is ours now and forever. Today we remind ourselves that, in truth, we share God’s Will and accept His strength as our own.
