Finding Our Strength

It is important to remember that miracles and vision necessarily go together. This needs repeating, and frequent repeating. It is a central idea in your new thought system, and the perception that it produces. The miracle is always there. Its presence is not caused by your vision; its absence is not the result of your failure to see. It is only your awareness of miracles that is affected. You will see them in the light; you will not see them in the dark.

Miracles are seen in light.
The body’s eyes do not perceive the light.
But I am not a body. What am I?

The question with which this statement ends is needed for our exercises today. What you think you are is a belief to be undone. But what you really are must be revealed to you. The belief you are a body calls for correction, being a mistake. The truth of what you are calls on the strength in you to bring to your awareness what the mistake conceals.

Remember that all sense of weakness is associated with the belief you are a body, a belief that is mistaken and deserves no faith.

It is from [God’s Thoughts] that your strength will come. It is through [God’s Thoughts’] strong support that you will feel the strength in you. (, A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 91,W-pI.91.1;6:2-10;9:3;10:2-3. See also ACIM Lesson 91 Insights.)

Miracles are seen in the Light of Love. The body is an image that denies the unity of Love and therefore cannot see Love’s Light. Vision is seen in our mind, which is joined with the Mind of God. This is the vision that sees the Light of Love and all Its miracles.

Here we are being taught that to know our true strength and be aware of the miracles of Love, we need to withdraw our belief that we are a body. We are not a body. We are Spirit, united eternally with our Creator. Here is our source of strength. Here is the vision that shows us the Light of Love in every brother.

God’s Thoughts are His extensions of Love, which are the truth in everyone, everywhere. As we withdraw our identification with the body, we make way for the Light to show us What we are in truth. Here we find our strength and our peace. We remember we are Love and nothing else. We are filled with gratitude for God’s gifts.
