lesson 287
“You are my goal, my Father. Only You.”Where would I go but Heaven? What could be a substitute for
happiness? What gift could I prefer before the peace of God? What
treasure would I seek and find and keep that can compare with my
Identity? And would I rather live with fear than love?
“You are my goal, my Father. What but You could I desire to have?
What way but that which leads to You could I desire to walk? And what
except the memory of You could signify to me the end of dreams and futile
substitutions for the truth? You are my only goal.Your Son would be as You
created him.What way but this could I expect to recognize my Self, and be at
one with my Identity?”
lesson 288
“Let me forget my brother’s past today.”“This is the thought that leads the way to You, and brings me to my goal. I
cannot come to You without my brother. And to know my Source, I first must
recognize what You created one with me. My brother’s is the hand that leads
me on the way to You. His sins are in the past along with mine. And I am
saved because the past is gone. Let me not cherish it within my heart, or I will
lose the way to walk to You. My brother is my Savior. Let me not attack the
Savior You have given me. But let me honor him who bears Your Name, and
so remember that It is my own.”
Forgive me, then, today. And you will know you have forgiven
me if you behold your brother in the light of holiness. He cannot be
less holy than can I, and you can not be holier than he.
