Day 223 - A Course in Miracles
Chapter Twenty: The Promise of the Resurrection
V. Entering the Ark
28 Nothing can hurt you unless you give it the power to do so. For you give power as the laws of this world interpret giving—as you give you lose. It is not up to you to give power at all. Power is of God, given by Him and reawakened by the Holy Spirit, Who knows that as you give you gain. He gives no power to sin, and therefore it >has none; nor to its results as this world sees them—sickness and death and misery and pain. These things have not occurred because the Holy Spirit sees them not and gives no power to their seeming source. Thus would He keep you free of them. Being without illusion of what you are, the Holy Spirit merely gives everything to God, Who has already given and received all that is true. The untrue He has neither received nor given.
