It is as certain you will fear what you attack as it is sure that you will love what you perceive as sinless. He walks in peace who travels sinlessly along the way love shows him. For love walks with him there, protecting him from fear. And he will see only the sinless, who can not attack.
Walk you in glory, with your head held high, and fear no evil. The innocent are safe because they share their innocence. Nothing they see is harmful, for their awareness of the truth releases everything from the illusion of harmfulness. And what seemed harmful now stands shining in their innocence, released from sin and fear and happily returned to love. They share the strength of love because they looked on innocence. (A Course in Miracles, T-23.in.2:4-3:5. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
Do I want to see myself as weak and vulnerable, in constant danger? Or do I want to be certain of my safety, living in peace and knowing that I am eternally loved? I say “yes” to the first question when I choose to align with the ego. I say “yes” to the second question when I choose the Holy Spirit, my true Self, as my Guide.
When I identify with a body as what I am and believe what the body’s eyes show me, I am choosing the ego. But in every moment I can change my allegiance. It seems difficult to change because of the well established habit of choosing the ego. But habits can be broken and new habits established. It only takes willingness and persistent practice.
We need to choose the Holy Spirit’s rehab program. Holy Spirit’s rehab program gives us all His strength, all His Love. We need only check ourselves in to His program with our willingness. We can’t do it alone. One day at a time, as we dedicate our willingness to stick with the Holy Spirit’s program, we get the reinforcement we need to kick the addiction to the ego’s thought system.
The Holy Spirit is always present with His strength and Love, ready to support us when we are tempted to revert to our old thinking with the ego. We just need to practice accepting His help by letting Him guide us moment by moment. This is our choice today.
