True light is strength, and strength is sinlessness. If you remain as God created you, you must be strong and light must be in you. He Who ensured your sinlessness must be the guarantee of strength and light as well. You are as God created you. Darkness cannot obscure the glory of God’s Son. You stand in light, strong in the sinlessness in which you were created, and in which you will remain throughout eternity. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.94.2). See also ACIM Lesson 94 Insights.
In this world it seems that we must be constantly alert to defend ourselves against potential harm. This need for vigilance could only come from a belief that we are weak and vulnerable. But we are told in the Course that we are held safely and eternally in God’s Light, which is strength. We could only be susceptible to harm if there were some spot of weakness in God. But since God is the Source of all strength, there can be no weakness in Him.
The sense of weakness we experience in the world can only be relieved by letting go of the false image that we are separate from God. It is impossible that this image be true. God’s light and strength are ours and could never leave us.
As long as we identify with the ego thought system of separation, we will believe we are weak and in the dark. But belief can be changed. We need help from outside the false belief to correct the mistaken idea. By the grace of God we have been given a Link which keeps us joined with the Self that never bought into the false belief. That Self never left the light and strength and innocence of God.
Today we practice setting aside the beliefs we have about ourselves, the attributes and images we have identified with. We bring these to the Holy Spirit, our Link to remember the truth. His Light will shine away the dark false images so that we will remember we stand in the Light and strength of God.
