ACIM Lesson 261 Contemplation

"God is my refuge and security."
This lesson emphasizes finding true safety and comfort in God rather than in worldly things or the body. It teaches that we often mistakenly seek security in external sources, but our genuine refuge lies in our connection with the Divine. The lesson encourages us to release our attachment to false identities and remember our Higher Self as created by God. By recognizing God as our ultimate source of strength and peace, we can let go of fear and attack thoughts, finding everlasting security in our spiritual identity
