June 25th 2014 Lesson 50
I am sustained by the Love of God.
Here is the answer to every problem that will confront you, today and tomorrow and throughout time. In this world, you believe you are sustained by everything but God. Your faith is placed in the most trivial and insane symbols; pills, money, "protective" clothing, influence, prestige, being liked, knowing the "right" people, and an endless list of forms of nothingness that you endow with magical powers.All these things are your replacements for the Love of God. All these things are cherished to ensure a body identification. They are songs of praise to the ego. Do not put your faith in the worthless. It will not sustain you.
Only the Love of God will protect you in all circumstances. It will lift you out of every trial, and raise you high above all the perceived dangers of this world into a climate of perfect peace and safety. It will transport you into a state of mind that nothing can threaten, nothing can disturb, and where nothing can intrude upon the eternal calm of the Son of God.
Put not your faith in illusions. They will fail you, Put all your faith in the Love of God within you; eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. This is the answer to whatever confronts you today. Through the Love of God within you, you can resolve all seeming difficulties without effort and in sure confidence. Tell yourself this often today. It is a declaration of release from the belief in idols. It is your acknowledgment of the truth about yourself.
- Intention: Two ten-minute practice periods are required for today, one in the morning and one in the evening.
- Practice: In each practice period, let today's idea sink deep into your
consciousness. Repeat it, think about it, let related thoughts come to
help you recognize its truth, and allow peace to flow over you like a blanket of protection and surety. Let no idle and foolish
thoughts enter to disturb the holy mind of the Son of God. Such is the
Kingdom of Heaven. Such is the resting place where your Father has
placed you forever..
- Application:
Do not forget to repeat today's idea very frequently.
Insights/comments:
- Today's idea is indeed the complete answer to every problem, for only One who is all-knowing and all-powerful can respond to any situation in a way that is beneficial to all. Any solution we arrive at can, at best, be incomplete, for our ego mind lacks the vision to know, far less satisfy, what everyone needs, and for all time. So if we really want a complete solution, our only recourse is to place our trust in God. This is an easy task if we recognize that God indeed loves us and wants exactly what we want for ourselves, that which is in our own best interest. Not the best interest of our ego, but the best interest of our true Self as He created us: perfect, Spirit, free. Our self-made ego can perceive only so far and it is time we realize that ego solutions only cause additional problems, create unwanted side effects, and provide only limited and temporary solutions, if at all. The question we mus ask and answer truly is simply this: "Do we want a complete solution?".
I and my Creator are One.
