We Can Count on God’s Strength as Ours

God is your safety in every circumstance. His Voice speaks for Him in all situations and in every aspect of all situations, telling you exactly what to do to call upon His strength and His protection. There are no exceptions because God has no exceptions. And the Voice which speaks for Him thinks as He does.

…reach down into your mind to a place of real safety. You will recognize that you have reached it if you feel a sense of deep peace, however briefly. Let go all the trivial things that churn and bubble on the surface of your mind, and reach down and below them to the Kingdom of Heaven. There is a place in you where there is perfect peace. There is a place in you where nothing is impossible. There is a place in you where the strength of God abides. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 47, W-pI.47.3,7. See also ACIM Lesson 47 Insights.)

The truth in us is not weak, but strong. It is not doubtful, but certain. It is not fearful, but loving. These are the attributes of our true Self, ever present in our mind.

When we identify with the ego’s false image of what we are, we feel weak, fearful, confused and depressed. But we can leave this dark image behind by letting ourselves go past it to the Light of our true Self. It is ever present.

As we are ready to let go of the fear and guilt associated with believing in a false self image, we can redirect our attention to the Light within. As we let ourselves open to that Light by our willingness to receive the vision of our true Self, the dark shadows fade away. We feel the strength of God in us. We feel the certainty of the changeless Love that is our Self. We see that same Self in our brothers. We can count on the strength of God in us.
