lesson 249
“Forgiveness ends all suffering and loss.”Forgiveness paints a picture of a world where suffering is over, loss
becomes impossible and anger makes no sense. Attack is gone, and
madness has an end.What suffering is now conceivable? What loss can
be sustained? The world becomes a place of joy, abundance, charity
and endless giving. It is now so like to Heaven that it quickly is
transformed into the Light that it reflects. And so the journey which
the Son of God began has ended in the Light from Which he came.
“Father, we would return our minds to You. We have betrayed them;
held them in a vise of bitterness, and frightened them with thoughts of
violence and death. Now would we rest again in You, as You created us.”
lesson 250
“Let me not see myself as limited.”Let me behold the Son of God today, and witness to his glory. Let me
not try to obscure the holy light in him, and see his strength
diminished and reduced to frailty; nor perceive the lacks in him with
which I would attack his sovereignty.
“He is Your Son, my Father. And today I would behold his gentleness
instead of my illusions. He is what I am, and as I see him so I see myself.
Today I would see truly, that this day I may at last identify with him.”
