We Are Eternally Safe in God’s Love

The ego is insane. ²In fear it stands beyond the Everywhere, apart from All, in separation from the Infinite. ³In its insanity it thinks it has become a victor over God Himself.

The Son of God is egoless. ²What can he know of madness and the death of God, when he abides in Him? ³What can he know of sorrow and of suffering, when he lives in eternal joy? ⁴What can he know of fear and punishment, of sin and guilt, of hatred and attack, when all there is surrounding him is everlasting peace, forever conflict-free and undisturbed, in deepest silence and tranquility?

To know reality is not to see the ego and its thoughts, its works, its acts, its laws and its beliefs, its dreams, its hopes, its plans for its salvation, and the cost belief in it entails.

Yet will one lily of forgiveness change the darkness into light; the altar to illusions to the shrine of Life Itself. ²And peace will be restored forever to the holy minds which God created as His Son, His dwelling place, His joy, His love, completely His, completely one with Him. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.12.2:1-3;3:1–4:1;5)

The ego is a demand that God provide it special favor so it can claim something that belongs to it alone. It is a rebellion against the oneness of God’s Love. Dissatisfied with God’s gift to His Son of all His Love, the ego hallucinates a world of differences in which it sets itself apart from all ‘others’. The ego did not fall from God’s grace; it denied God’s grace.

By God’s grace, our true Self remains eternally united with our Father, forever at peace, safe in His sure protection, and sharing His joy.
