Fear is not justified in any form.
Fear is deception. ²It attests that you have seen yourself as you could never be, and therefore look upon a world which is impossible. ³Not one thing in this world is true. ⁴It does not matter what the form in which it may appear. ⁵It witnesses but to your own illusions of yourself. ⁶Let us not be deceived today. ⁷We are the Sons of God. ⁸There is no fear in us, for we are each a part of Love Itself.
How foolish are our fears! ²Would You allow Your Son to suffer? ³Give us faith today to recognize Your Son, and set him free. ⁴Let us forgive him in Your Name, that we may understand his holiness, and feel the love for him which is Your Own as well. (A Course in Miracles, W-240. See also ACIM Lesson 240 Insights.)
The world we perceive as a body is a reflection of what we believe about ourselves. If we react to these perceptions as if they are real, we deceive ourselves into believing the body is our reality. This is why the Course tells us “All things are lessons God would have us learn.”
If we let the Holy Spirit interpret our perceptions for us, we will learn to look past our perceptions to the one truth that never changes: Only Love is real.
As we practice asking Holy Spirit to interpret our perceptions on our behalf, we learn that we are Love and nothing else. We are safe. We are kind. Our experience brings us joy as we join with the Love that is all around us and learn It is in us. Fear diminishes, for we know that we are safe eternally in God’s Love.
We dedicate today to accepting the Holy Spirit’s lessons in Love.
