I want to be as God created me now.
1. Today I will accept the truth about myself.I
²I will rise in glory and let the light within me shine upon the world today.II
³I bring the world the glad tidings of salvation I hear when my Father God speaks to me.
⁴And I behold the world Christ wants me to see, knowing the bitter dream of death is over, knowing it is my Father’s Call I hear.
2. Today Christ is my eyes,
and His the ears that listen to the Voice of God.
²Father,
I come to You through Him who is Your Son,
and also my true Self.
³Amen.
I The idea you have of yourself has no importance—except to you. To God you have always been, and will always be, the holy Son He created in Love; Heaven beholds you unchangingly with eyes of tenderness. You alone have cultivated a negative opinion of yourself, and salvation is nothing more than letting go of that mistaken idea and accepting the truth.
Grant yourself today the gift of your own benevolence. Forgive yourself even for that strange habit of feeling estranged from the happiness of Creation. Remember that your worth does not depend on your thoughts about yourself, but on what you are in God—His perfect and beloved extension.
To be “as God created you” is not an ideal to be reached through effort, but a state that is already yours, simply waiting to be recognized. To exchange the distorted self-image for the vision of Christ is the very core of salvation. Today, decide to see yourself as God sees you—with absolute Love and without a trace of condemnation.
Think only that God loves you, and that you too are learning to love yourself with that same Love. Allow that light, which already dwells within you, to shine upon the world and announce the end of the bitter dream of separation. Today, let Christ be your eyes and your ears, and see all things with the innocence that has always been yours.
II T-23.I.3:1 “Walk in glory, with your head held high, and fear no evil.”
Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.”
I would be now as God created me.
I let the light of Christ within me shine, and I listen to the Voice of my Father.
