We are as God created us

While practicing A Course In Miracles, we are asked to devote one year to completing the Workbook for Students.  Each day, there is a new thought to help us reverse the ego’s belief system and redirect our minds towards the love and peace of God.  The lesson for the day is one of my favorites:  “I am as God created me.”  The Course explains that this one thought is enough to save the entire world if we only believed it.  It is what Jesus knew, and how he knew that he and his Father are One.  It is also how he became identified with the Christ, and how he brought forgiveness to all sinners because he recognized in them their inherent sinlessness and infinite worth as God’s children – part of himself in Christ!

As a Course student, I am constantly looking at my thoughts and actions with the Holy Spirit’s guidance and I see, time and time again, how much I do NOT believe that I am as God created me.  My entire life is exhausted trying to prove that I am not as God created me.  After all, I am what I make, not anyone or anything else … sound familiar?

Ahhh, the ego is ripe with arrogance and it really believes its puny presence can overturn the Will of God.  Today, let us be grateful that we are wrong, that the ego is mistaken and it is no friend to us.  Let us remember we are as God created us, then let us stop asserting who we are and accept God’s Will instead.

This morning, I meditated with the lesson for the day.  A stream of consciousness poem developed as I repeated the thought again and again in a sort of mantra.  That seemed to go really well with the Chakra Chant album playing softly through my headphones.   I scribbled the poem down in pieces while I meditated, then reworked it a little bit to share it with you here.  This poem is aptly called, “We Are As God Created Us”  😉
