lesson 307
“Conflicting wishes cannot be my will.”“Father,Your Will is mine, and only That. There is no other will for me to
have. Let me not try to make another will, for it is senseless and will cause me
pain.Your Will alone can bring me happiness, and only Yours exists. If I would
have what only You can give, I must accept Your Will for me, and enter into
peace where conflict is impossible,Your Son is one with You in being and in
will, and nothing contradicts the holy truth that I remain as You created me.”
And with this prayer, we enter silently into a state where
conflict cannot come, because we join our holy will with God’s in
recognition that they are but one.
lesson 308
“This instant is the only time there is.”I have conceived of time in such a way that I defeat my aim. If I elect
to reach past time to timelessness, I must change my perception of
what time is for. Time’s purpose cannot be to keep the past and
future one. The only interval in which I can be saved from time is
now. For in this instant has forgiveness come to set me free.The birth
of Christ is now, without a past or future. He has come to give His
present blessing to the world, restoring it to timelessness and love.
And love is ever-present, here and now.
“Thanks for this instant, Father. It is now I am redeemed.This instant
is the time You have appointed for Your Son’s release, and for salvation of the
world in him.”
