Lesson 112

For morning and evening review:

1. (93) Light and joy and peace abide in me.

²I am the home of light and joy and peace. ³I welcome them into the home I share with God, because I am a part of Him.

This is a good one for me to do this morning because my peace was disrupted by my thoughts. I had to reassess and remember that the ego knows all about spirituality and will use the right words but if the meaning leads us into guilt and fear, it is not the truth. Simply remembering that light and joy and peace abide in me was enough to snap me out of the ego thought system. Whew! That’s a relief. There is still an issue to be dealt with, but now I am ready to look at it with the Holy Spirit instead of with the ego. It feels as if the sun has come out from behind a dark cloud.

2. (94) I am as God created me.

²I will remain forever as I was, created by the Changeless like Himself. ³And I am one with Him, and He with me.

I was thinking about this part of the review and wondering what to write. It makes me so happy just to read that I am one with Him, and He with me, and that can never change. But just saying it makes me happy doesn’t even begin to express the joy I feel. But then I realized I was thinking about lunch and what I would eat. Wow. Really, ego? Here, Holy Spirit, is an obstruction on my path Home. Please remove it.

The body presents all sorts of distractions the ego uses to keep me in the split mind playing around in the illusionary world. But the ego can’t take me anywhere I don’t want to go, so I release that thought and free my mind to contemplate the astounding truth that I am as God created me and I will never be anything else.

3. On the hour:
²Light and joy and peace abide in me.

³On the half hour:
⁴I am as God created me. (ACIM, W-112.1:1–3:4
