<center>'''I am as God created me.'''</center>



We will repeat today's idea from time to time. For this one thought would
be enough to save you and the world, if you believed that it is true. Its truth
would mean that you have made no changes in yourself that have reality,
nor changed the universe so that what God created was replaced by fear and
evil, misery and death. If you remain as God created you fear has no
meaning, evil is not real, and misery and death do not exist.

Today's idea is therefore all you need to let complete correction heal your
mind, and give you perfect vision that will heal all the mistakes that any
mind has made at any time or place. It is enough to heal the past and make
the future free. It is enough to let the present be accepted as it is. It is
enough to let time be the means for all the world to learn escape from time,
and every change that time appears to bring in passing by.

If you remain as God created you, appearances cannot replace the truth,
health cannot turn to sickness, nor can death be substitute for life, or fear for
love. All this has not occurred, if you remain as God created you. You need
no thought but just this one, to let redemption come to light the world and
free it from the past.

In this one thought is all the past undone; the present saved to quietly
extend into a timeless future. If you are as God created you, then there has
been no separation of your mind from His, no split between your mind and
other minds, and only unity within your own.

The healing power of today's idea is limitless. It is the birthplace of all
miracles, the great restorer of the truth to the awareness of the world.
Practice today's idea with gratitude. This is the truth that comes to set you
free. This is the truth that God has promised you. This is the Word in which
all sorrow ends.

For your five-minute practice periods, begin with this quotation from the
text:

<center>''I am as God created me.'''</center>
<center>''His Son can suffer nothing.'''</center>
<center>''And I am His Son.'''</center>

Then, with this statement firmly in your mind, try to discover in your mind
the Self Who is the holy Son of God Himself.

Seek Him within you Who is Christ in you, the Son of God and brother to
the world; the Savior Who has been forever saved, with power to save
whoever touches Him, however lightly, asking for the Word that tells him
he is brother unto Him.

You are as God created you. Today honor your Self. Let graven images you
made to be the Son of God instead of what he is be worshipped not today.
Deep in your mind the holy Christ in you is waiting your acknowledgment
as you. And you are lost and do not know yourself while He is
unacknowledged and unknown.

Seek Him today, and find Him. He will be your Savior from all idols you
have made. For when you find Him, you will understand how worthless are
your idols, and how false the images which you believed were you. Today
we make a great advance to truth by letting idols go, and opening our hands
and hearts and minds to God today.

We will remember Him throughout the day with thankful hearts and loving
thoughts for all who meet with us today. For it is thus that we remember
Him. And we will say, that we may be reminded of His Son, our holy Self,
the Christ in each of us:

<center>''I am as God created me.'''</center>

Let us declare this truth as often as we can. This is the Word of God that
sets you free. This is the key that opens up the gate of Heaven, and that lets
you enter in the peace of God and His eternity.
