Remembering Our Loving Identity

Fear is a stranger to the ways of love. ²Identify with fear, and you will be a stranger to yourself. ³And thus you are unknown to you. ⁴What is your Self remains an alien to the part of you which thinks that it is real, but different from yourself. ⁵Who could be sane in such a circumstance? ⁶Who but a madman could believe he is what he is not, and judge against himself?

⁵There is no home can shelter [both] love and fear. ⁶They cannot coexist. ⁷If you are real, then fear must be illusion. ⁸And if fear is real, then you do not exist at all.

⁴Hear His Voice assure you, quietly and sure, that you are not a stranger to your Father, nor is your Creator stranger made to you. ⁵Whom God has joined remain forever one, at home in Him, no stranger to Himself.

Today we offer thanks that Christ has come to search the world for what belongs to Him. ²His vision sees no strangers, but beholds His Own and joyously unites with them. ³They see Him as a stranger, for they do not recognize themselves. ⁴Yet as they give Him welcome, they remember. ⁵And He leads them gently home again, where they belong.

³[Christ] has not forgotten you. ⁴But you will not remember Him until you look on all as He does. ⁵Who denies [oneness with] his brother is denying Him, and thus refusing to accept the gift of sight by which his Self is clearly recognized, his home remembered and salvation come. (A Course in Miracles, W-160.1;4:5-8;8:4–9:5;8:4–9:5;10:3-5. See also ACIM Lesson 160 Insights.)

The ego sees everyone as an enemy. It is this judgment that maintains the sense of individuality the ego needs to keep its specialness. It fears anything or anyone that would seem to question its carefully constructed separate image. The ego is fearful. When we identify with the ego, we are fearful, a stranger in a strange land.

But the ego is not our identity. Our true Identity is the Self created by Love and held eternally one with Love. This Self sees no adversary, no threat to Its identity. With Christ’s vision, this Self sees Itself everywhere and in everyone. It sees nothing to fear for it sees only the Love It is.

Today we ask for Christ’s vision to guide us in all our thoughts, words and actions. With His help, we will remember we are God’s Son, eternally Love, eternally loving.
