How can I know who I am when I see myself as under constant attack? Pain, illness, loss, age and death seem to threaten me. All my hopes and wishes and plans appear to be at the mercy of a world I cannot control. Yet perfect security and complete fulfillment are my inheritance. I have tried to give my inheritance away in exchange for the world I see. But God has kept my inheritance safe for me. My own real thoughts will teach me what it is.
The world I see holds my fearful self-image in place, and guarantees its continuance. While I see the world as I see it now, truth cannot enter my awareness. I would let the door behind this world be opened for me, that I may look past it to the world that reflects the Love of God.
God is still everywhere and in everything forever. And we who are part of Him will yet look past all appearances, and recognize the truth beyond them all. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.56.1:2-8;3:2-4;4:5-6. See also ACIM Lesson 56 Insights.)
In our practice for today we consistently step back and let the Holy Spirit show us the truth behind illusions of separation. We let Holy Spirit show us the Love of God, which is eternally present. We let ourselves be shown the truth that we are still Perfect Love, as God created us.
We are Love. We are peace. We are joy forever. With Holy Spirit as our Guide, we see the world differently.
