Accepting the Strength of God in Our Mind

It is God’s strength in you that is the light in which you see, as it is His Mind with which you think. His strength denies your weakness. It is your weakness that sees through the body’s eyes, peering about in darkness to behold the likeness of itself;

The light of strength is constant, sure as love, forever glad to give itself away, because [it knows] it cannot give but to itself.

The strength in you will offer you the light, and guide your seeing so you do not dwell on idle shadows that the body’s eyes provide for self-deception. Strength and light unite in you, and where they meet, your Self stands ready to embrace you as Its Own. Such is the meeting place we try today to find and rest in, for the peace of God is where your Self, His Son, is waiting now to meet Itself again, and be as One.

Let yourself be brought unto your Self. Its strength will be the light in which the gift of sight is given you. Leave, then, the dark a little while today, and we will practice seeing in the light, closing the body’s eyes and asking truth to show us how to find the meeting place of self and Self, where light and strength are one. (, A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 92, W-pI.92.3:1-3;8:1;9;10:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 92 Insights.)

The Course emphasizes that we are not a body. If we believe what we see through the body’s eyes, we are deceiving ourselves. The truth is seen through inner vision — the vision of our true Self. To heal our minds and release ourselves from identification with the limitations of the body, we need to direct our attention to our inner vision.

This inner vision brings the experience that Light and strength are one. It is in the Light of Love that we see our unity with the Self that we share with everyone. This Self has the strength of God, for It is one with God, Its Creator. Any perception of limitation, weakness, guilt or fear is a deception. It comes from identifying with the body instead of the one Self that is God’s Creation.

Today we ask our true Self for help to share Its vision and remember the strength of God in us. With this practice, the seeming weakness and fear we experience in the world will fade as we remember we are one in God’s strength.
