lesson 283
“My true Identity abides in You.”“Father, I made an image of myself, and it is this I call the Son of God.Yet is
creation as it always was, for Your creation is unchangeable. Let me not
worship idols. I am he my Father loves. His holiness remains the light of
Heaven and the Love of God. Is not what is beloved of You secure? Is not the
light of Heaven infinite? Is not Your Son my true Identity, when You created
everything that is?”
Now are we one in shared Identity, with God our Father as our
only Source, and everything created part of us. And so we offer
blessing to all things, uniting lovingly with all the world, which our
forgiveness has made one with us.
lesson 284
“I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt.”Loss is not loss when properly perceived. Pain is impossible.There is
no grief with any cause at all. And suffering of any kind is nothing
but a dream. Such is the truth; at first to be but said, and then
repeated many times; and next, to be accepted as but partly true, with
many reservations. Then to be considered seriously more and more,
and finally accepted as the truth. I can elect to change all thoughts
that hurt. And I would go beyond the words today, go past all
reservations, and arrive at full acceptance of the truth in them.
“Father, what You have given cannot hurt, and grief and pain must be
impossible. Let me not fail to trust in You today, accepting but the joyous as
Your gifts; accepting but the joyous as the truth.”
