lesson 251
“I am in need of nothing but the truth.”
I sought for many things, and found despair. Now do I seek but one,
for in that one is all I need, and only what I need. All that I sought
before I needed not, and did not even want. My only need I did not
recognize. But now I see that I need only truth. In that, all needs are
satisfied, all cravings end, all hopes are finally fulfilled and dreams are
gone. Now have I everything that I could need. Now have I
everything that I could want. And now at last I find myself at peace.
“And for that peace, our Father, we give thanks. What we denied
ourselves You have restored, and only that is what we really want.”
lesson 252
“The Son of God is my identity.”
My Self is holy beyond all the thoughts of holiness of which I now
conceive. Its shimmering and perfect purity is far more brilliant than
is any light that I have ever looked upon. Its love is limitless, with an
intensity that holds all things within it in the calm of quiet certainty.
Its strength comes not from burning impulses which move the
world, but from the boundless Love of God Himself. How far
beyond this world my Self must be, and yet how near to me and close
to God!
“Father,You know my true identity. Reveal it now to me who am Your
Son, that I may waken to the truth in You, and know that Heaven is restored
to me.”
