    The Holy Spirit always sides with you and with your strength.
    As long as you avoid His guidance in any way, you want to be weak.

    Your peace surrounds me,
    Father. Where I go, Your peace
    goes there with me. It sheds its
    light on everyone I meet. I bring
    it to the desolate and lonely and
    afraid. I give Your peace to
    those who suffer pain, or grieve
    for loss, or think they are bereft
    of hope and happiness.
    Send them to me, my Father.
    Let me bring Your peace with me.
    For I would save Your Son, as
    is Your Will, that I may come
    to recognize my Self.

    Let me not think that I can find the way to God, if I have hatred in my heart.
    Let me not try to hurt God’s Son, and think that I can know his Father or my Self.
    Let me not fail to recognize myself, and still believe that my awareness can contain my Father, or my mind conceive of all the love my Father has for me, and all the love which I return to Him.

    And all that stood between your image of yourself and what you are, forgiveness washes joyfully away.

    Whatever suffers is not part of me.
    What grieves is not myself.
    What is in pain is but illusion in my mind.
    What dies was never living in reality, and did but mock the truth about myself.
    Now I disown self-concepts and deceits and lies about the holy Son of God.
    Now am I ready to accept him back as God created him, and as he is.

    Forgiveness paints a picture of a world where suffering is over, loss becomes impossible and anger makes no sense.
    Attack is gone, and madness has an end. What suffering is now conceivable? What loss can be sustained?
    The world becomes a place of joy, abundance, charity and endless giving.
    It is now so like to Heaven that it quickly is transformed into the light that it reflects.
    And so the journey which the Son of God began has ended in the light from which he came.

    Who would attempt to fly with the tiny wings of a sparrow when the mighty power of an eagle has been given him?
    And who would place his faith in the shabby offerings of the ego when the gifts of God are laid before him?

    All that I sought before I needed not, and did not even want.
    My only need I did not recognize. But now I see that I need only truth.
    In that all needs are satisfied, all cravings end, all hopes are finally fulfilled and dreams are gone.
    Now have I everything that I could need.
    Now have I everything that I could want.
    And now at last I find myself at peace.

    My Self is holy beyond all the thoughts of holiness of which I now conceive.
    Its shimmering and perfect purity is far more brilliant than is any light that I have ever looked upon.
    Its love is limitless, with an intensity that holds all things within it, in the calm of quiet certainty.
    Its strength comes not from burning impulses which move the world, but from the boundless Love of God Himself.
    How far beyond this world my Self must be, and yet how near to me and close to God!

    â€œExcept ye become as little children” means that unless you fully recognize your complete dependence on God, you cannot know the real power of the Son in his true relationship with the Father.
