I am affected only by my thoughts.
It needs but this to let salvation come to all the world. ²For in this single thought is everyone released at last from fear. ³Now has he learned that no one frightens him, and nothing can endanger him. ⁴He has no enemies, and he is safe from all external things. ⁵His thoughts can frighten him, but since these thoughts belong to him alone, he has the power to change them and exchange each fear thought for a happy thought of love. ⁶He crucified himself. ⁷Yet God has planned that His beloved Son will be redeemed.
Your plan is sure, my Father,—only Yours. ²All other plans will fail. ³And I will have thoughts that will frighten me, until I learn that You have given me the only Thought that leads me to salvation. ⁴Mine alone will fail, and lead me nowhere. ⁵But the Thought You gave me promises to lead me home, because it holds Your promise to Your Son. (A Course in Miracles, W-338. See also ACIM Lesson 338 Insights.)
The ego is the thought of fear, the denial of Love. Our true Self is the Thought of Love extended without limit. Because Love is eternal and all that is real, ego thoughts have no effect on it whatsoever. Love is our safety, our certainty that we remain as God created us.
Though we may dream of fear, the thought of Love remains with us. It speaks to us. When we choose to listen, It guides us to see past the ego’s images of fear to the reality of Love. The Voice of Love inspires us to be the Love we truly are. It helps us see past the images of fear and recognize they have no effect whatsoever on our reality as God’s Son.
Today we choose to listen to this Voice. As we accept Its message, we find peace and joy.
