Love Created Me Like Itself

Love created me like itself, lesson 67. Lisa from Gorgeous for God said something very helpful about this lesson in her blog. She said, "If you’ve been having any difficulty it is for one reason, and one reason only: you must still be focusing on the problem." That was a very eye-opening statement for me. Because, yes, when I considered that statement, I realized I am still focusing on my problems. Not as much as I used to, but nevertheless, I am thinking of them.

She said that you can't think of your problems and God at the same time. I can't realize my true Self while focusing on my false Self. She also said, "As you focus on the truth of yourself (light, love, joy, perfect and holy) all your problems and false ideas about yourself will disappear immediately, with no effort."

Makes sense when I consider how I came up with false ideas about myself. I focused on them until I believed they were true. If I can make the false ideas about who I am true in my own mind then I am confident that I can recognize and remember what I truly am as God created me and make the true, true.

Here is what the lesson says and so this is what I will do today:

"Today's idea is a complete and accurate statement of what you are. This is why you are the light of the world. This is why God appointed you as the world's savior. This is why the Son of God looks to you for his salvation. He is saved by what you are. We will make every effort today to reach this truth about you, and to realize fully, if only for a moment, that it is the truth."

"Be confident that you will do much today to bring that awareness nearer(the awareness of a blazing light in which you recognize yourself as love created you), whether you feel you have succeeded or not."

"Four or five times an hour, and perhaps even more, it would be most beneficial to remind yourself that love created you like itself. Hear the truth about yourself in this."

"Try to realize in the shorter practice periods that this is not your tiny, solitary voice that tells you this. This is the Voice for God, reminding you of your Father and of your Self. This is the Voice of truth, replacing everything that the ego tells you about yourself with the simple truth about the Son of God. You were created by love like itself."
