THE LORD'S PRAYER  Our Father, which art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy Kingdom come, thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven, give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive us our debtors, for thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, Forever, Amen.I AM SURROUNDED BY THE LOVE OF GOD Father, You stand before me and behind, 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 Own 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 264 CHRIST'S IS THE VISION I WILL USE TODAY Each day, each hour, every instant, I am choosing what I want to look upon, the sounds I want to hear, the witnesses to what I want to be the truth for me. Today I choose to look upon what Christ would have me see, to listen to God's Voice, and seek the witnesses to what is true in God's creation. In Christ's sight, the world and God's creation meet, and as they come together all perception disappears. His kindly sight redeems the world from death, for nothing that He looks on but must live, remembering the Father and the Son; Creator and creation unified. Father, Christ's vision is the way to You. What He beholds invites Your memory to be restored to me. And this I choose to be what I would look upon today. -LESSON 271 I FOLLOW IN THE WAY APPOINTED ME I have a special place to fill; a role for me alone. Salvation waits until I take this part as what I choose to do. Until I make this choice, I am the slave of time and human destiny. But when I willingly and gladly go the way my Father's plan appointed me to go, then will I recognize salvation is already here, already given all my brothers and already mine as well. Father, Your way is what I choose today. Where it would lead me do I choose to go; what it would have me do I choose to do. Your way is certain, and the end secure. The memory of You awaits me there. And all my sorrows end in Your embrace, which You have promised to Your Son, who thought mistakenly that he had wandered from the sure protection of Your loving Arms. -LESSON 317 |
Welcome!
