Only you can deprive yourself of anything. Do not oppose this realization, for it is truly the beginning of the dawn of light. Remember also that the denial of this simple fact takes many forms, and these you must learn to recognize and to oppose steadfastly, without exception. ~ Schucman, Dr. Helen. A Course in Miracles. Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition.

Surely we are our own worst enemies.
We believe ourselves unworthy, undeserving.
We don’t trust ourselves. But when we feel this way
we’re wrong. Our God is Love and we are His sons.
Only you can deprive yourself of anything,
and you do that by self-deprecation.
You do that by believing the lies you tell yourself.
Seek God’s truth to recognize and to oppose these lies
steadfastly, without exception.
Our God is Love and we are His sons.
