Accepting God’s Attributes as Ours

Today we continue with the one idea which brings complete salvation; the one statement which makes all forms of temptation powerless; the one thought which renders the ego silent and entirely undone. You are as God created you.

Begin …with these words:

I am as God created me.
I am His Son eternally.

Now try to reach the Son of God in you. This is the Self that never sinned, nor made an image to replace reality. This is the Self that never left Its home in God to walk the world uncertainly. This is the Self that knows no fear, nor could conceive of loss or suffering or death.

Nothing is required of you to reach this goal except to lay all idols and self-images aside; go past the list of attributes, both good and bad, you have ascribed to yourself; and wait in silent expectancy for the truth. God has Himself promised that it will be revealed to all who ask for it. You are asking now. You cannot fail because He cannot fail. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 94, W-pI.94.1:1-2;3🔢4-4:4. See also ACIM Lesson 94 Insights.)

The ego is simply a temptation to perceive separation as real. Identifying with a body is an ego temptation. It is driven by the wish for specialness, to have something we can call ours alone. This wish blocks our awareness that we already have all of God’s Love, joy and peace.

We were created by God with these attributes. As we accept the Self that God created one with Him, we accept His attributes as ours. The limited attributes the ego assigns to an idol of a separate identity are an illusion with no meaning in truth. God has promised that His Will will never change.

Today we practice laying aside the temptation to seek temporary satisfaction in images of separation and accept the perfect happiness, peace and changeless Love of God as What we are.
