ACIM Lesson 283 Prayer

"My true Identity abides in You."
This lesson emphasizes that our true identity is not the false self-image we have created, but rather our unchangeable nature as God's creation. It encourages us to let go of worshipping idols (false self-concepts) and recognize our holiness as the light of Heaven and the love of God. The lesson reminds us that we are one with God and all creation, sharing a unified identity with our Father as our only Source. By accepting this truth, we can offer blessings to all things, uniting lovingly with the world through forgiveness.

A Course in Miracles,

Lesson 283 My True Identity Abides in You Father,

I made an image of myself,

And it is this I call the Child of God.

Yet,

Creation is as it always was.

For your creation,

Father,

Is unchangeable.

Let me not worship idols.

I am the one my Father loves.

My holiness remains the Light of Heaven and the Love of God.

Is not what is beloved of you,

Father,

Secure?

Is not the Light of Heaven infinite?

Father,

Is not your Child my true identity?

When you created everything,

That is,

Now we are all one in shared identity,

With God our Father as our only Source.

We are all one in shared identity.

Everything created is a part of us.

So we offer blessing to all things,

Uniting lovingly with all the world.

The world which our forgiveness has made one with us.

Father,

My true identity abides in you.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
