lesson 253
“My Self is ruler of the universe.”It is impossible that anything should come to me unbidden by
myself. Even in this world, it is I who rule my destiny.What happens
is what I desire. What does not occur is what I do not want to
happen. This must I accept. For thus am I led past this world to my
creations, children of my Will, in Heaven where my holy Self abides
with them, and Him Who has created me.
“You are the Self Whom You created Son, creating like Yourself and one
with You. My Self,Which rules the universe, is but Your Will in perfect union
with my own, Which can but offer glad assent to Yours, that It may be
extended to Itself.”
lesson 254
“Let every voice but God’s be still in me.”“Father, today I would but hear Your Voice. In deepest silence I would come to
You, to hear Your Voice and to receive Your Word. I have no prayer but this: I
come to You to ask You for the truth. And truth is but Your Will, which I
would share with You today.”
Today we let no evil thoughts direct our words or actions.When
such thoughts occur, we quietly step back and look at them, and then
we let them go.We do not want what they would bring with them.
And so we do not choose to keep them.They are silent now. And in
the stillness, hallowed by His Love, God speaks to us and tells us of
our Will, as we have chosen to remember Him.
