I am not a body.

I am free.

For I am still as God created me.

1. (199) I am not a body.

²I am free.

³I am God’s Son.

⁴Be still, my mind, and think a moment upon this.

⁵And then return to earth, without confusion as to what my Father loves forever as His Son.

* This says to me that I am NOT THE STORY I AM WALKING.

* I am not the “sick to my stomach because I am not sure that I have not thrown myself into an escape hatch that my subconscious holds to defeat my attempts to have a healthy relationship with people.”

* I am not the terror at making such a bold move as if the (W)holy Spirit were guiding me when it could be that the ego mind is gaslighting me.

* I am not the “here we go again, who can I get angry at me today” mentality that wants to eat me up.

* I am NOT ANY OF THOSE THINGS.

* I am a Child of God doing my best to bear witness of His Love for His Son by taking care of myself and reaching for a “space” where I feel safe and welcome.

* Nothing TOUCHES my Peace, that passes understanding because I know that God IS.

* Nothing TOUCHES my Happiness, that knows that each and every part of the United Consciousness of Christ will know God and His Love and His Place Therein.

* Nothing TOUCHES my Joy in existence in the service and Presence of God, regardless of how that Presents Itself.

⁶I am not a body.

⁷I am free.

⁸For I am still as God created me.

* I walk the path I am given while I give it to God completely and surrender any claim to understanding anything. I trust His Guidance and His Love for His Son a part of Whom I am.

(ACIM, W-219.1:1–8)

Till next time, God bless, debi.
