lesson 271
“Christ’s is the vision I will use today.”Each day, each hour, every instant, I am choosing what I want to look
upon, the sounds I want to hear, the witnesses to what I want to be
the truth for me. Today I choose to look upon what Christ would
have me see, to listen to God’s Voice, and seek the witnesses to what
is true in God’s creation. In Christ’s sight, the world and God’s
creation meet, and as they come together all perception disappears.
His kindly sight redeems the world from death. For nothing that He
looks on but must live, remembering the Father and the Son; Creator
and Creation unified.
“Father, Christ’s vision is the way to You.What He beholds invites Your
memory to be restored to me. And this I choose to be what I would look
upon today.”
lesson 272
“How can illusions satisfy God’s Son?”“Father, the truth belongs to me. My home is set in Heaven by Your Will and
mine. Can dreams content me? Can illusions bring me happiness? What but
Your memory can satisfy Your Son? I will accept no less than You have given
me. I am surrounded by Your Love, forever still, forever gentle and forever safe.
God’s Son must be as You created him.”
Today we pass illusions by. And if we hear temptation call to us
to stay and linger in a dream, we turn aside and ask ourselves if we,
the Sons of God, could be content with dreams, when Heaven can
be chosen just as easily as hell, and love will happily replace all fear.
