Lesson 260 Let me remember God created me.

Lesson 260

Let me remember God created me.

Father, I did not make myself, although in my insanity I thought I did. Yet, as Your Thought, I have not left my Source, remaining part of Who created me. Your Son, my Father, calls on You today. Let me remember You created me. Let me remember my Identity. And let my sinlessness arise again before Christ's vision, through which I would look upon my brothers and myself today.

Now is our Source remembered, and Therein we find our true Identity at last. Holy indeed are we, because our Source can know no sin. And we who are His Sons are like each other, and alike to Him.

Lesson 260
"Let me remember God created me."

The sentence that stands out to me this time as I read this lesson is, "Yet, as Your Thought, I have not left my Source, remaining part of Who created me." Jesus reminds me that I am God's Thought. And if I am God's Thought, so is my brother God's Thought. We all came from the same Source -- the Mind of God and we remain There. We remain as Thought in the Mind of God.

It is helpful for me to remember that this and only this is the truth. It is helpful for me to remember that my dreams of something else being real are just illusions. It is helpful for me to remember that my brother's dreams are just illusions. It is helpful for me to return to remembering that the only truth of everyone in this world is that they are unified Thought in the one Mind of Love.

This remembering comforts me and brings me peace. This remembering cuts through all the ego's clutter and deception. All the conflict of the world is easy to cut through. It never happened. All the myriad stories of differences and separation are false. They are lies. They are substitutes for the truth of our one Identity. We all are the same Love in the Mind of Love. That alone is true.

Today I will rest in this remembering. Today I will be comforted in this remembering. Today I will practice remembering that I did not create myself. Let me remember God created me. How God would have me be, I am.


It's helpful to look at the implications of the recognition that God created me. First, the Course tells us that God is Love and nothing else. It then tells us the implication is, "God is but Love, and therefore so am I."

The Course also tells us that Love is eternal, changeless and forever extending Itself. Since I am Love, I must be changeless, eternal and forever extending Love. Therefore I am harmless and invulnerable, perfectly safe. Being harmless, guilt is impossible and fear inconceivable. Joy and peace are my natural state, for they are simply attributes of Love.

All this I recognize when I remember God created me. I remember my Self and share God's holiness when I remember God created me. I recognize my Self in all my brother's when I remember God created me. I am wholly free of conflict and filled with the joy of sharing Love with All That is when I remember God created me. Today, let me remember the truth that I am created by God. I could never create myself in truth.
