Our Opportunities to Bless the World

I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts.

Father, Your Son is perfect. ²When I think that I am hurt in any way, it is because I have forgotten who I am, and that I am as You created me. ³Your Thoughts can only bring me happiness. ⁴If ever I am sad or hurt or ill, I have forgotten what You think, and put my little meaningless ideas in place of where Your Thoughts belong, and where they are. ⁵I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts. ⁶The Thoughts I think with You can only bless. ⁷The Thoughts I think with You alone are true.

I will not hurt myself today. ²For I am far beyond all pain. ³My Father placed me safe in Heaven, watching over me. ⁴And I would not attack the Son He loves, for what He loves is also mine to love. (A Course in Miracles, W-281. See also ACIM Lesson 281 Insights.)

To see ourselves as a body is to place a limit on the Son of God. Our true Self shares God’s Love, strength and peace. His Will for us is perfect happiness. If we are not joyous, we are misperceiving the Self God created one with Him.

Today we choose to lay down our self-imposed limitations. They represent a false idea. With the Holy Spirit’s help, we can forgive these false ideas and remember that we are blessed as the Son of God. Each time we forgive a false idea, we bring blessing to the world. Today offers opportunities to forgive. We dedicate this day to recognizing opportunities to bless the world.
