Remembering Our Safety in God’s Love

God is my refuge and security.

I will identify with what I think is refuge and security. ²I will behold myself where I perceive my strength, and think I live within the citadel where I am safe and cannot be attacked. ³Let me today seek not security in danger, nor attempt to find my peace in murderous attack. ⁴I live in God. ⁵In Him I find my refuge and my strength. ⁶In Him is my Identity. ⁷In Him is everlasting peace. ⁸And only there will I remember Who I really am.

Let me not seek for idols. ²I would come, my Father, home to You today. ³I choose to be as You created me, and find the Son whom You created as my Self. (A Course in Miracles, W-261. See also ACIM Lesson 261 Insights.)

The body is an ego image of vulnerability. It needs constant vigilance to protect its ‘life’. If we identify with the body as what we are, we cannot feel safe. We will be constantly looking for a place or circumstance where we feel protected. All this only seems to be needed in a dream of separation.

In reality, we are always perfectly safe. We remain at home in the safety and certainty of our Father’s eternal Love. Today we remind ourselves that our true Identity is one with God. Our safety is guaranteed by our Creator. And we are grateful that this is so.
