Day 156: I walk with God in perfect holiness.

"I am as God created me."  This lesson is repeated frequently throughout A Course in Miracles.  Today's meditation enunciates this belief once again.  We go arm in arm with God, wherever we go, whether we're aware of it or not.  How can we, of God's creation, be anything less than Holy?  Only when we forget from Where It Is we come - only when we falsely think that we could not be Pure - does our experience reflect those grim illusions that we make.  In recognizing that we are not sinners, but merely misguided dreamers, we can awake to the Truth that God and all of us are One.  This awareness lights the world around us, and brings along with each one all our brothers and our sisters who await to waken with us.

I walk with God in perfect holiness.  I light the world, I light my mind and all the minds which God created one with me.

Today's meditation reaffirms our place in the Universe.  We have no limits, for we are present Everywhere.  We are each a part of one another, tied together in an unbreakable link with our Creator.  When we forget this simple truth, our minds grow dark indeed.  We cut off the electric stream between ourselves and God, like unscrewing a light bulb from its safe and sturdy socket.  Electricity still flows, but we have closed off from receiving it.  All we must do is turn the bulb back into place, and we will see the brilliant light shine forth from each of us again.

Let us not forget that God walks with us all the time, in every possible way.  We are given constant reminders that He is here with us: A smile from a stranger on the street, a beautiful rainbow arching gracefully through the sky, the sounds of children laughing as they play with wild abandon... All these things and countless more are there to tell us we are not alone.  Our purity is permanent, for we cannot change who God created us to be.  Let us walk in confidence then today, that we are Whole and Perfect, and perfectly Holy.  As we do so, we light the world around us, and bring Light to the rest who choose to wake in our footsteps.

Until tomorrow,
Journeyman
