Fear is not justified in any form.
Fear is deception. It attests that you have seen yourself as you could never be, and therefore look upon a world which is impossible. Not one thing in this world is true. It does not matter what the form in which it may appear. It witnesses but to your own illusions of yourself. Let us not be deceived today. We are the Sons of God. There is no fear in us, for we are each a part of Love Itself.
How foolish are our fears! Would You allow Your Son to suffer? Give us faith today to recognize Your Son, and set him free. Let us forgive him in Your Name, that we may understand his holiness, and feel the love for him which is Your Own as well. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 240, W-pII.240. See also ACIM Lesson 240 Insights.)
We’ve all experienced being startled by an unfamiliar sound and instantly shifting into self-protection mode. Seconds later we learn that it was nothing to be concerned about, there was no potential harm to protect against.
The fear we experience in the world has no more substance to it than a meaningless noise which can do no harm. Fear comes only from believing in a vulnerable identity. To be free of fear we need only let go of our belief in a false identity that could never be true. The truth of What we are is forever safe in God’s changeless Love.
Today we ask the Holy Spirit to heal our minds of the fearful thoughts that come from believing in a false identity. He will help us remember we are God’s Son, complete and whole, forever in the Heart of God.
