July 13th 2015 Lesson 63
The light of the world bring peace to every mind
through my forgiveness.
How holy are you who have the power to bring peace to every mind! How blessed are you who can learn to recognize the means for letting this be done through you! What purpose could you have that would bring you greater happiness? You are indeed the light of the world with such a function. The Son of God looks to you for his redemption. It is your s to give him, for it belongs to you. Accept no trivial purpose or meaningless desire in its place, or you will forget your function and leave the Son of God in hell. This is no idle request that is being asked of you. You are being asked to accept salvation that it may be yours to give.
- Intention: Recognizing the importance of
this function, we will be happy to remember it very often today. We
will begin the day by acknowledging it, and close the day with the
thought of it in our awareness. .
- Practice: Throughout the day we will repeat
this as often as we can:
The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. I am the means God has appointed for the salvation of the world. - Application: If you close your eyes, you will probably find it easier to let the related thoughts come to you in the minute or two that you should devote to considering this. Do not, however, wait for such an opportunity. No chance should be lost for reinforcing today's idea. Remember that God's Son looks to you for his salvation. And Who but your Self must be His Son?
Insights/comments:
- Today's idea extends the understanding of our function. Being the holy Son of God, we are the light of the world, and our function is forgiveness. The effect of performing our function is to bring peace to every mind. We are the means God has appointed for the salvation of the world. This is our function, our mission, our destiny, so sooner or later we will decide to accept it, for God's will cannot be thwarted. God has given us the choice of when we will accept our destiny, so let us not postpone the joy that comes from performing our function, when it is so simple and its effect so universal that every mind benefits. All minds are affected by our forgiveness because all minds are joined. We are all a part of God's one mind, and it is through our thinking that we communicate with each other and with God. Let us therefore think the thoughts of forgiveness and fulfill our function as the light of the world by bringing joy to every mind.
I and my Creator are One.
