Today our theme is our defenselessness. We clothe ourselves in it, as we prepare to meet the day. We rise up strong in Christ, and let our weakness disappear, as we remember that His strength abides in us. We will remind ourselves that He remains beside us through the day, and never leaves our weakness unsupported by His strength. We call upon His strength each time we feel the threat of our defenses undermine our certainty of purpose. We will pause a moment, as He tells us, “I am here.”
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 Workbook Lesson 153, W-pI.153.19;20:4-7. See also ACIM Lesson 153 Insights.)
Whenever we seem to be facing problems, it is helpful to remember that we are not alone. The strength of Christ is ever present, supporting us in our remembrance that God’s strength is ours and we share His Will, which is to extend Love without limit. The appearance of a problem comes only because we have forgotten the strength of Love in us. We have forgotten it because we have identified with the ego thought system of separation, which is the denial of Love. But Love has not left us. We have only become unaware of it by our denial.
When we seem to be faced with a problem, it is helpful to step back and open to the strength of Christ within. As we quiet our mind and turn our thoughts to the Love within, we are assured by the Voice for God Which reminds us, “I am here.” As we let that thought fill our minds, we feel the strength of Christ grow stronger. Our vision becomes clearer and we are inspired with a new way of seeing. In quietness are all our problems quietly resolved.
