There is a light in you which cannot die; whose presence is so holy that the world is sanctified because of you.”
This is the way salvation works. As you step back, the Light in you steps forward and encompasses the world. It heralds not the end of sin in punishment and death. In lightness and in laughter is sin gone, because its quaint absurdity is seen. It is a foolish thought, a silly dream, not frightening, ridiculous perhaps, but who would waste an instant in approach to God Himself for such a senseless whim?
Yet you have wasted many, many years on just this foolish thought. The past is gone, with all its fantasies. They keep you bound no longer. The approach to God is near.
“Who walks with me?” This question should be asked a thousand times a day, till certainty has ended doubting and established peace. Today let doubting cease. God speaks for you in answering your question with these words:
I walk with God in perfect holiness. I light the world, I light my mind and all the minds which God created one with me. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 156, W-pI.156.4:1;6:1-7:4;8. See also ACIM Lesson 156 Insights.)
The world we see is a reflection of what we believe we are. If we accept the ego belief that we are separate from the Source of Love and Light, we see the reflection of a loveless world. It is a world of fear and guilt defined by images of separation. Our true Self is Love and when we identify with Love, Its Light shines on the world we see. This Light reveals our unity with the same Light that is in every brother. Light always joins with Light as Love always joins with Love.
The answer to the question, “Who walks with me?” is the Light of Love within us and in every brother. We need to ask this question a thousand times a day because we need to reverse the habit of believing we are separate and alone, disconnected from eternal Love. It is a false belief that needs to be undone.
Asking this question opens our mind to the Answer: Love walks with us eternally. Each time we ask and accept the answer, the grip of our old, mistaken belief weakens. We become increasingly confident of our perfect safety in the changeless Love of God. This practice is a gift we give ourselves and all the world.
