Lesson
110 - I am as God created me.
We will repeat today’s
idea from time to time. For this one thought would be enough to
save you and the world, if you believed that it is true. Its truth
would mean that you have made no changes in yourself which have
reality, nor changed the universe so that what God created was replaced
by...
- fear and evil,
- misery and death.
If you remain as God
created you...
- fear has no meaning,
- evil is not real,
and
- misery and death do
not exist.
Today's idea is therefore
all you need to let complete correction heal your mind, and give
you perfect vision which will heal all the mistakes that any mind
has made at any time or place.
It is enough to heal the past and make the future free.
It is enough to
let the present be accepted as it is. It is enough to let time be
the means for all the world to learn escape from time, and every
change that time appears to bring in passing by.
If you remain as God created you...
- appearances cannot replace the
truth,
- health cannot turn to sickness,
- nor can death be substitute for
life,
- or fear for love.
All this has not occurred,
if you remain as God created you. You need no thought but just this
one, to let redemption come to light the world and free it from
the past.
In this one thought
is all the past undone; the present saved to quietly extend into
a timeless future. If you are as God created you, then there has
been...
- no separation of your mind from
His,
- no split between your mind and
other minds, and
- only unity within your own.
The healing power
of today's idea is limitless. It is the birthplace of all miracles,
the great restorer of the truth to the awareness of the world. Practice
today's idea with gratitude.
Practice Instructions
This is the truth that comes to set
you free.
This is the truth that God has promised you.
This is the Word in which all sorrow ends.
1.
For your five-minute practice periods, begin with this quotation
from the text:
“I am
as God created me. His Son can suffer nothing. And I am His
Son.”
Then, with this statement
firmly in your mind, try to discover in your mind this Self Who
is the holy Son of God Himself.
Seek Him within you,
who is Christ in you...
- the Son of God and
Brother to the world;
- the Savior Who has
been forever saved, with power to save whoever touches Him, however
lightly, asking for the Word that tells him he is brother unto
Him.
You are as God created
you. Today honor your Self. Let graven images you made to be the
Son of God instead of what he is be worshipped not today. Deep in
your mind the holy Christ in you is waiting your acknowledgment
as you. And you are lost and do not know yourself while He is unacknowledged
and unknown.
Seek Him today, and
find Him. He will be your Savior from all idols you have made. For
when you find Him, you will understand how worthless are your idols,
and how false the images which you believed were you. Today we make
a great advance to truth by letting idols go, and opening our hands
and hearts and minds to God today.
2.
We will remember Him throughout the day with thankful hearts
and loving thoughts for all who meet with us today. For it is thus
that we remember Him. And we will say, that we may be reminded of
His Son, our holy Self, the Christ in each of us:
“I am as
God created me.”
Let us declare this
truth as often as we can. This is the Word of God that sets you
free. This is the key that opens up the gate of Heaven, and which
lets you enter in the peace of God and His eternity.
