In times of "challenge" I find comfort knowing that I am sustained by the love of God.
I have to admit that since starting the Course what I at one time had thought were challenges have turned into nothings and blessings at the same time, they bring me closer to God and my loved ones and I find that I am able to help reassure others that it is nothing more than a challenge bringing them closer also.
We had a recent event that because of the greed of another my husband was (for only a moment I may add) distressed that he wouldn't be able to financially care for all the children we have. I went back to Lesson 50 and read to him. The smile that was on his face, of knowing, realizing, understanding was so awesome, what he thought was going to be a horrible day, turned into a wonderful, great day, Thanks be to God.
ACIM Lesson 50:
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.
As I listen to God's Voice, I am sustained by His Love. As I open my eyes, His Love lights up the world for me to see. As I forgive, His Love reminds me that His Son is sinless. And as I look upon the world with the vision He has given me, I remember that I am His Son.
To add, I felt that the need to share this, not sure for who but this reminder is needed for someone. We are also praying that the love and light of our Father will shine on all of us, our friends and family, and those who are not, isn't that what it is all about....Love....Peace and Happiness
Peace and smiles
