ACIM Lesson 235

God in His mercy wills that I be saved.


God’s mercy is not offered because we are guilty, but because we have forgotten our innocence. Nothing that happens within the dream can alter what Love created. When something appears to hurt, frighten, or condemn us, we can place it before the Holy Spirit and remember: God wills that we be saved from the belief that we could ever be separate from Him.

His will for us is only happiness. Beneath every fearful appearance, our holiness remains untouched, because it is part of God’s Own holiness. We do not have to earn His protection or find our way back into His arms. We are already held there.

Today, I let every troubling thought become an invitation to remember. I am surrounded by Love, accompanied by the gentle Friend within, and safe in the truth of what God created me to be.


A Listening Practice

Before entering the silence, you may wish to listen to today’s Prayer Song.

Let the words and music be with you for a while. There is nothing to understand and nothing you need to accomplish.

When the music ends, allow the quiet to remain.

Rest with the lesson.

Listen.
