357: Truth answers every call we make to God
Lesson 357 “Truth answers every call we make to God, Responding first with miracles, and then Returning unto us to be Itself.”
“Forgiveness, truthʹs reflection, tells me how to offer miracles, and thus escape the prison house in which I think I live. Your holy Son is pointed out to me, first in my brother; then in me. Your Voice instructs me patiently to hear Your Word and give as I receive. And as I look upon Your Son today, I hear Your Voice instructing me to find the way to You as You appointed that the way shall be: ʹBehold his sinlessness and be you healedʹ.”
356: Sickness is another name for sin
Lesson 356 “Sickness is but another name for sin. Healing is but another Name for God. The miracle is thus a call to Him.”
“Father, You promised You would never fail to answer any call Your Son might make to You. It does not matter where he is, what seems to be his problem, nor what he believes he has become. He is Your Son, and You will answer him. The miracle reflects Your Love, and thus it answers him. Your Name replaces every thought of sin, and who is sinless cannot suffer pain. Your Name gives answer to Your Son, because to call Your Name is but to call his own.”
353: My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today, have but one purpose
Lesson 353 “My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today Have but one purpose; to be given Christ To use to bless the world with miracles.”
“Father, I give all that is mine today to Christ, to use in any way that best will serve the purpose which I share with Him. Nothing is mine alone, for He and I have joined in purpose. Thus has learning come almost to its appointed end. A while I work with Him to serve His purpose. Then I lose myself in my Identity, and recognize that Christ is but my Self.”
352:Judgement and love are opposites
“Judgment and love are opposites. From one
Come all the sorrows of the world. But from
The Other comes the peace of God Himself.”
“Forgiveness looks on sinlessness alone, and judges not. Through this I come to You. Judgment will bind my eyes and make me blind. Yet love, reflected in forgiveness here, reminds me You have given me a way to find Your peace again. I am redeemed when I elect to follow in this way. You have not left me comfortless. I have
within me both the memory of You, and One Who leads me to It. Father, I would hear Your Voice, and find Your peace today. For I would love my own Identity, and find in Him the memory of You.”
351: My sinless brother is my guide to peace
Lesson 351 “My sinless brother is my guide to peace. My sinful brother is my guide to pain. And which I choose to see I will behold.”
“Who is my brother but Your holy Son? And if I see him sinful, I proclaim myself a sinner; not a Son of God; alone and friendless in a fearful world. Yet this perception is a choice I make, and can relinquish. I can also see my brother sinless, as Your holy Son. And with this choice I see my sinlessness, my everlasting Comforter and Friend beside me, and my way secure and clear. Choose, then, for me, my Father, through Your Voice. For He alone gives judgment in Your Name.”
349: Today I let Christ’s vision look upon all things
Lesson 349 “Today I let Christʹs vision look upon all things for me and judge them not, but give each one a miracle of love instead.”
“So would I liberate all things I see, and give to them the freedom that I seek. For thus do I obey the law of love, and give what I would find and make my own. It will be given me because I have chosen it as the gift I want to give. Father, Your gifts are mine. Each one that I accept gives me a miracle to give. And giving as I would receive, I learn Your healing miracles belong to me.”
Our Father knows our needs. He gives us grace to meet them all. And so we trust in Him to send us miracles to bless the world and heal our minds as we return to Him.
346: Today the peace of God envelops me
Lesson 346 “Today the peace of God envelops me, And I forget all things except His Love.”
“Father, I wake today with miracles correcting my perception of all things. And so begins a day I share with You as I will share eternity, for time has stepped aside today. I do not seek the things of time, and so I will not look upon them. What I seek today transcends all laws of time and things perceived in time. I would forget all things except Your Love. I would abide in You, and know no laws except Your law of Love. And I would find the peace which You created for Your Son, forgetting all the foolish toys I made as I behold Your glory and my own.”
And when the evening comes today, we will remember nothing but the peace of God. For we will learn today what peace is ours when we forget all things except Godʹs Love.
344: Today I learn the law of love
Lesson 344 “Today I learn the law of love;
that what I give my brother is my gift to me.”
“This is Your law, my Father, not my own. I did not understand what giving means, and thought to save what I desired for myself alone. And as I looked upon the treasure which I thought I had, I found an empty place where nothing ever was, or is or will be. Who can share a dream? And what can an illusion offer me? Yet he whom I forgive will give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. Let my forgiven brothers fill my store with Heavenʹs treasures, which alone are real. Thus is the law of love fulfilled. And thus Your Son arises and returns to You.”
How near we are to one another, as we go to God. How near is He to us. How close the ending of the dream of sin, and the redemption of the Son of God.
343: I am not asked to make a sacrifice
Lesson 343 “I am not asked to make a sacrifice to find the mercy and the peace of God.”
“The end of suffering can not be loss. The gift of everything can but be gain. You only give. You never take away. And You created me to be like You, so sacrifice becomes impossible for me as well as You. I, too, must give, and so all things are given unto me forever and forever. As I was created, I remain. Your Son can make no sacrifice, for he must be complete, having the function of completing You. I am complete because I am Your Son. I cannot lose, for I can only give. And everything is mine eternally.”
The mercy and the peace of God are free. Salvation has no cost. It is a gift that must be freely given and received, and it is this that
we would learn today.
