serenity quotes from a course in miracles

Today it will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness offers, and the joy the lifting of the veil holds out to you.īefore the light you will receive today the world will fade until it disappears, and you will see another world arise you have no words to picture. Sink into happiness as you begin these practice periods, for they hold out the sure rewards of questions answered and what your acceptance of the answer brings. We are close indeed to the appointed ending of the dream. And now the way is short that yet we travel. Begin in hopefulness, for we have reached the turning point at which the road becomes far easier. Morning and evening do we gladly give a quarter of an hour to the search in which the end of hell is guaranteed. Earnestly and gladly will we seek for it today, aware we hold the key within our hands, accepting Heaven’s answer to the hell we made, but where we would remain no more. Remembering the gifts forgiveness gives, we undertake our practicing today with hope and faith that this will be the day salvation will be ours.

What you will remember then can never be described. In quietness it rises up to greet your open eyes, and fill your heart with deep tranquility as ancient truths, forever newly born, arise in your awareness.

Forgiveness is the means by which it comes to take the place of hell. Open your eyes today and look upon a happy world of safety and of peace. God wills salvation be received today, and that the intricacies of your dreams no longer hide their nothingness from you. The world can give no gifts of any value to a mind that has received what God has given as its own. It is the gift of God, and not the world. Here is the answer! Do not turn away in aimless wandering again. All the complexities the world has spun of fragile cobwebs disappear before the power and the majesty of this extremely simple statement of the truth. Let us today rejoice that this is so, for here we have an answer, clear and plain, beyond deceit in its simplicity. There is no plan but this for the salvation of the Son of God. Here is the answer! Would you stand outside while all of Heaven waits for you within? Forgive and be forgiven. Changelessly it stands before you like an open door, with warmth and welcome calling from beyond the doorway, bidding you to enter in and make yourself at home, where you belong. Be thankful it remains exactly as He planned it. God’s plan for your salvation cannot change, nor can it fail. Why would you seek an answer other than the answer that will answer everything? Here is the perfect answer, given to imperfect questions, meaningless requests, halfhearted willingness to hear, and less than halfway diligence and partial trust. What would you want forgiveness cannot give? What gifts but these are worthy to be sought? What fancied value, trivial effect or transient promise, never to be kept, can hold more hope than what forgiveness brings? It lets you recognize the Son of God, and clears your memory of all dead thoughts so that remembrance of your Father can arise across the threshold of your mind. All this forgiveness offers you, and more.įorgiveness lets the veil be lifted up that hides the face of Christ from those who look with unforgiving eyes upon the world. And when you wake again, it offers you another day of happiness and peace. It soothes your forehead while you sleep, and rests upon your eyelids so you see no dreams of fear and evil, malice and attack. It sparkles on your eyes as you awake, and gives you joy with which to meet the day. Do you want happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of purpose, and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world? Do you want care and safety, and the warmth of sure protection always? Do you want a quietness that cannot be disturbed, a gentleness that never can be hurt, a deep abiding comfort, and a rest so perfect it can never be upset?Īll this forgiveness offers you, and more. What could you want forgiveness cannot give? Do you want peace? Forgiveness offers it.
