I am sustained by the Love of God.
Here is the answer to every problem that will confront you,
today and tomorrow and throughout time. In this world, you believe you are
sustained by everything but God. Your faith is placed in the most trivial and
insane symbols; pills, money, "protective" clothing, influence,
prestige, being liked, knowing the "right" people, and an endless
list of forms of nothingness that you endow with magical powers.
All these things are your replacements for the Love of God. All
these things are cherished to ensure a body identification. They are songs of
praise to the ego. Do not put your faith in the worthless. It will not sustain
you.
Only the Love of God will protect you in all
circumstances. It will lift you out of every trial, and raise you high above
all the perceived dangers of this world into a climate of perfect peace and
safety. It will transport you into a state of mind that nothing can threaten,
nothing can disturb, and where nothing can intrude upon the eternal calm of the
Son of God.
Put not your faith in illusions. They will fail you. Put all
your faith in the Love of God within you; eternal, changeless and forever
unfailing. This is the answer to whatever confronts you today. Through the Love
of God within you, you can resolve all seeming difficulties without effort and
in sure confidence. Tell yourself this often today. It is a declaration of
release from the belief in idols. It is your acknowledgment of the truth about
yourself.

Workbook Lesson 50
God is Love. Love stays with us till all our
thoughts are thoughts of love. "God is a consuming fire." "God
is Love." Love melts all error; I have been much helped by this
affirmation: "Divine Love has melted my errors all away, and I now see the
Truth clearly." HEILBRDUN; OR, DROPS FROM THE FOUNTAIN OF HEALTH. BY FANNY
M. HARLEY 1898
The Bible repeatedly states that you should praise God. This
hardly means that you should tell him how wonderful he is. He has no ego with
which to accept such praise, and no perception with which to judge it. But
unless you take your part in the creation, his joy is not complete because
yours is incomplete. And this he does know. He knows it in his own being and
its experience of his son's experience. The constant going out of his love is
blocked when his channels are closed, and he is lonely when the minds he
created do not communicate fully with him. A Course in Miracles Text - Chapter Four - The
Illusions of the Ego - Creation and Communication
