Reclaiming the Security if God’s Love

God is my refuge and security.

I will identify with what I think is refuge and security. ²I will behold myself where I perceive my strength, and think I live within the citadel where I am safe and cannot be attacked. ³Let me today seek not security in danger, nor attempt to find my peace in murderous attack. ⁴I live in God. ⁵In Him I find my refuge and my strength. ⁶In Him is my Identity. ⁷In Him is everlasting peace. ⁸And only there will I remember Who I really am.

Let me not seek for idols. ²I would come, my Father, home to You today. ³I choose to be as You created me, and find the Son whom You created as my Self. (A Course in Miracles, W-261. See also ACIM Lesson 261 Insights.)

In this dream world our identity is defined by a body, personality and beliefs. None of these are permanent and therefore not of God. God does not change and His Creations are changeless and formless like Himself. Our mistaken identification with a separate identity is an idol which has no meaning and substance in truth. It is a substitute for the Identity that God created as our one Self.

Being unreal, this substitute needs constant defense to protect it from change. Yet because its foundation is not true, this idol is constantly vulnerable. It is time to let it go, for this false identity keeps us in fear and guilt. This is not God’s Will for His Son.

Our refuge can only be found in the security of God’s changeless Love. This is our Home, our Life, our Being. We can reclaim this Identity we threw away by following the Holy Spirit’s guidance in our thoughts and actions. He will always lead us in the way of Love. He leads us to the security of the Home God wills for us where we rest in the certainty of His peace.
