Father, the peace of Christ is given us, because it is Your Will that we be saved. Help us today but to accept Your gift, and judge it not. For it has come to us to save us from our judgment on ourselves.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 305. 2:1-3.
What but Christ’s vision would I use today, when it can offer me a day in which I see a world so like to Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me?
Today I can forget the world I made. Today I can go past all fear, and be restored to love and holiness and peace.
Today I am redeemed, and born anew into a world of mercy and of care; of loving kindness and the peace of God.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 306. 1:1-4.
Nothing is difficult that is wholly desired.
Text-6. VB. 8:7.
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.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 308. 1:6-8.
The Holy Spirit’s Voice is as loud as your willingness to listen.
Text-8. VIII. 8:7.
This day, my Father, would I
spend with You, as You
have chosen all my days
should be. And what I will
experience is not of time
at all. The joy that comes to
me is not of days nor hours,
for it comes from Heaven
to Your Son. This day will be
Your sweet reminder to
remember You, Your gracious
calling to Your holy Son, the
sign Your grace has come to
me, and that it is Your Will
I be set free today.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 310. 1:1-4.
This is God’s Final Judgment:
“You are still My holy Son, forever innocent, forever loving and forever loved, as limitless as your Creator, and completely changeless and forever pure.
Therefore awaken and return to Me.
I am your Father and you are My Son.”
Workbook-p II. Lesson 310. 10. 5:1-3.
Look once again upon your brother, not without the understanding that he is the way to Heaven or to hell, as you perceive him.
But forget not this; the role you give to him is given you, and you will walk the way you pointed out to him because it is your judgment on yourself.
Text-25. V. 6:5-6.
Let us today behold each other in the sight of Christ.
How beautiful we are!
How holy and how loving!
Brother, come and join with me today.
We save the world when we have joined.
For in our vision it becomes as holy as the light in us.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 313. 2:1-6.
Fear is not of the present, but only of the past and future, which do not exist.
There is no fear in the present when each instant stands clear and separated from the past, without its shadow reaching out into the future.
Each instant is a clean, untarnished birth, in which the Son of God emerges from the past into the present.
And the present extends forever.
It is so beautiful and so clean and free of guilt that nothing but happiness is there.
No darkness is remembered, and immortality and joy are now.
Text-15. I. 8:2-7.
Each day a thousand treasures come to me with every passing moment.
I am blessed with gifts throughout the day, in value far beyond all things of which I can conceive.
A brother smiles upon another, and my heart is gladdened.
Someone speaks a word of gratitude or mercy, and my mind receives this gift and takes it as its own.
And everyone who finds the way to God becomes my savior, pointing out the way to me, and giving me his certainty that what he learned is surely mine as well.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 315. 1:1-5.
His grace is given me in every gift a brother has received throughout all time, and past all time as well.
My treasure house is full, and angels watch its open doors that not one gift is lost, and only more are added.
Let me come to where my treasures are, and enter in where I am truly welcome and at home, among the gifts that God has given me.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 316. 1:3-5.
Trust would settle every problem now.
Text-26. VIII. 2:3.
I am the means by which God’s Son is saved because salvation’s purpose is to find the sinlessness that God has placed in me.
I was created as the thing I seek.
I am the goal the world is searching for.
I am God’s Son, His one eternal Love.
I am salvation’s means and end as well.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 318. 1:4-8.
The ego thinks that what one gains, totality must lose.
And yet it is the Will of God I learn that what one gains is given unto all.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 319. 1:5-6.
The Son of God is limitless.
There are no limits on his strength, his peace, his joy, nor any attributes his Father gave in his creation.
What he wills with his Creator and Redeemer must be done.
His holy will can never be denied, because his Father shines upon his mind, and lays before it all the strength and love in earth and Heaven.
I am he to whom all this is given.
I am he in whom the power of my Father’s Will abides.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 320. 1:1-6.
The freedom to leave behind everything that hurts you and humbles you and frightens you cannot be thrust upon you, but it can be offered you through the grace of God.
And you can accept it by His grace, for God is gracious to His Son, accepting him without question as His Own.
Text-11. VI. 6:3-4.
There is nothing outside you.
That is what you must ultimately learn, for it is the realization that the Kingdom of Heaven is restored to you.
For God created only this, and He did not depart from it nor leave it separate from Himself.
The Kingdom of Heaven is the dwelling place of the Son of God, who left not his Father and dwells not apart from Him.
Heaven is not a place nor a condition. It is merely an awareness of perfect Oneness, and the knowledge that there is nothing else; nothing outside this Oneness, and nothing else within.
Text-18. VI. 1:1-6.
Here is the only “sacrifice” You ask
of Your beloved Son; You ask him
to give up all suffering, all sense of
loss and sadness, all anxiety and
doubt, and freely let Your Love
come streaming in to his
awareness, healing him of pain,
and giving him Your Own eternal
joy. Such is the “sacrifice” You ask
of me, and one I gladly make; the
only “cost” of restoration of Your
memory to me, for the salvation
of the world.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 323. 1:1-2.
Father, You are the One Who
gave the plan for my salvation to
me. You have set the way I am
to go, the role to take, and every
step in my appointed path. I
cannot lose the way. I can but
choose to wander off a while,
and then return. Your loving
Voice will always call me back,
and guide my feet aright. My
brothers all can follow in the
way I lead them. Yet I merely
follow in the way to You, as
You direct me and would
have me go.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 324. 1:1-7.
This is salvation’s keynote:
What I see reflects a process in my mind, which starts with my idea of what I want.
From there, the mind makes up an image of the thing the mind desires, judges valuable, and therefore seeks to find.
These images are then projected outward, looked upon, esteemed as real and guarded as one’s own. From insane wishes comes an insane world.
From judgment comes a world condemned.
And from forgiving thoughts a gentle world comes forth …
Workbook-p II. Lesson 325. 1:1-6.
Father, I was created in Your
Mind, a holy Thought that never
left its home. I am forever Your
Effect, and You forever and
forever are my Cause. As You
created me I have remained.
Where You established me I still
abide. And all Your attributes
abide in me, because it is Your
Will to have a Son so like his
Cause that Cause and Its Effect
are indistinguishable.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 326. 1:1-5.
Love always answers, being unable to deny a call for help, or not to hear the cries of pain that rise to it from every part of this strange world you made but do not want.
Text-13. VII. 4:3.
It is only because you think that you can run some little part, or deal with certain aspects of your life alone, that the guidance of the Holy Spirit is limited.
Text-14. XI. 8:4.
Father, I thought I wandered
from Your Will, defied it, broke
its laws, and interposed a second
will more powerful than Yours.
Yet what I am in truth is but
Your Will, extended and
extending. This am I, and this
will never change. As You are
One, so am I one with You. And
this I chose in my creation,
where my will became forever
one with Yours. That choice was
made for all eternity. It cannot
change, and be in opposition to
itself. Father, my will is Yours.
And I am safe, untroubled and
serene, in endless joy, because
it is Your Will that it be so.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 329. 1:1-9.
Healing is release from the fear of waking and the substitution of the decision to wake.
The decision to wake is the reflection of the will to love, since all healing involves replacing fear with love.
Text-8. IX. 5:1-2.
You love me, Father. You could
never leave me desolate, to die
within a world of pain and
cruelty. How could I think that
Love has left Itself? There is no
will except the Will of Love.
Fear is a dream, and has no will
that can conflict with Yours.
Conflict is sleep, and peace
awakening. Death is illusion;
life, eternal truth. There is no
opposition to Your Will. There
is no conflict, for my will
is Yours.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 331. 1:3-11.
Fear binds the world.
Forgiveness sets it free.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 332.
Father, forgiveness is the light
You chose to shine away all
conflict and all doubt, and
light the way for our
return to You. No light but this
can end our evil dream. No
light but this can save the
world. For this alone will
never fail in anything,
being Your gift to Your
beloved Son.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 333. 2:1-4.
Today I claim the gifts forgiveness gives.
Workbook-p II. Lesson 334.
