Lesson 267 My heart is beating in the peace of God.

Intro to Lessons 261-270

My heart is beating in the peace of God.

Surrounding me is all the life that God created in His Love. It calls to me in every heartbeat and in every breath, in every action, and in every thought. Peace fills my heart and floods my body with the purpose of forgiveness. Now my mind is healed and all I need to save the world is given me. Each heartbeat brings me peace, each breath infuses me with strength. I am a messenger of God, directed by His Voice, assuring me I am at home in Him.

Let me attend Your Answer, not my own. Father. My heart is beating in the peace the Heart of Love created. It is there and only there that I can be at home.

Lesson 265 Creation’s gentleness is all I see.

Creation’s gentleness is all I see.

I have indeed misunderstood the world because I laid my “sins” on it and saw them looking back at me. How fierce they seemed! And how deceived was I to think that what I feared was in the world instead of in my mind alone. Today I see the world in the celestial gentleness with which creation shines. There is no fear in it. Let no appearance of my “sins” obscure the light of Heaven shining on the world. What is reflected here is in God’s Mind. The images I see reflect my thoughts. Yet is my mind at one with God’s. And so, I can perceive creation’s gentleness.

In quiet would I look upon the world which but reflects Your Thoughts and mine as well. Let me remember that they are the same and I will see creation’s gentleness.

Lesson 264 I am surrounded by the Love of God.

What is the body?
Intro to Lessons 261-270

I am surrounded by the Love of God.

Father, You stand before me, behind and beside me, in the place I see myself and everywhere I go. You are in all the things I look upon, the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches for my own. In You, time disappears and place becomes a meaningless belief, for what surrounds Your son and keeps him safe is Love Itself. There is no Source but This, and nothing is that does not share Its holiness, that stands beyond Your one creation, or without the Love Which holds all things within Itself. Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We come to You in Your one Name today, to be at peace within Your everlasting Love.

My brothers, join with me in this today. This is salvation’s prayer. Must we not join in what will save the world, along with us?

Lesson 263 My Holy Vision sees all things as pure.

Intro to Lessons 261-270

My holy vision sees all things as pure.

Father, Your Mind created all that is. Your Spirit entered into it. Your Love gave life to it. Would I look upon what You created as if it could be made sinful? I would not perceive such dark and fearful images. A madman’s dream is hardly fit to be my choice instead of all the loveliness with which You blessed creation, all its purity, its joy, and its eternal quiet home in You.

While we still remain outside the gate of Heaven, let us look on all we see through Holy Vision and the Eyes of Christ. Let all appearances seem pure to us, that we may pass them by in innocence and walk together to our Father’s house as brothers and the holy Sons of God.
