always been. So today I will practice this lesson and make it the center of all my efforts so that I can
get a firmer grip on that rope.

"God is but Love, and therefore so am I."

"All things are echoes of the Voice for God. The power of decision is my own."”

An echo is a reflection of sound. Thus all things are a reflection of God's Voice. All things, seen truly,
are messages from God, reflected through what I am seeing. If I don't see those messages, then I
have used my power of decision to deny them. When I deny His messages, I deny God and therefore
I deny my Self. When I deny God, I deny Love.

This world seems to show me everything but Love, which is sharing one Self. But Love is there to be
seen. It is not the body's eyes that will show me this. It is through Christ's vision that I see the Love
that is everywhere. In every moment I make the decision: Will I accept Christ's vision or will I believe
literally what the body's eyes show me?

If I want to know my Self as created by God, I must accept Christ's vision. To do this, I must let go of
believing that I am a body and that it is my identity. Being an illusion, the body cannot offer me
anything I really want. It cannot offer me happiness. It cannot offer me peace. It cannot offer me
Love. If I use the body to seek the attention of other bodies, I have forgotten who I am. I am not a
body. I am Love and nothing else.

Love is complete in Itself and therefore so am I. I lack nothing because I am Love. I am alone in
nothing because I am Love. My joy is shared with all that is because I am Love. I am free and
unlimited because I am Love. I am whole and perfectly safe because I am Love. I am Holiness Itself
because I am Love and nothing else. I recognize that all this is mine when I choose to accept the
awareness of my Self. I have the power to claim It in every instant.

Today I will practice listening to His Voice in all things so that I may remember that God is but Love
and therefore so am I.

In this world we have tried to change the meaning of Love. We have tried to change God. We have
tried to change what we think we are. If we see a world of separate images which are unique and
alone, we have joined with the false mind, which makes up millions of separate images that are not
true.

God is one and will forever remain so. God is all inclusive. In lesson 169 it says, "We say 'God is.' and
then we cease to speak, for in that knowledge words are meaningless." (5:4) God is all. There is
nothing outside of God. God is synonymous with the Mind of Love. What we all truly are is
synonymous with the Mind of Love.

When we are in our right mind, we remember that we are Love. We remember our true Identity.
Today I use the power of decision to return to my right mind. I return to my true Identity as Love. I
remember that I cannot change myself or my identity. My Identity is Love. It could never really be
anything else.
