" Lesson 168 May 4, 1970

"Your grace is given me. I claim it now."

- God speaks to us. Shall we not speak to Him?
He is not distant. He makes no attempt
to hide from us. We try to hide from Him,
and suffer from deception. He remains
entirely accessible. He loves
His Son. There is no certainty but this,
yet this suffices. He will love His Son
forever. [While] his mind remains asleep,
He loves him still. And when his mind awakes,
He loves him with a never-changing Love.

- If you but knew the meaning of His Love,
hope and despair would be impossible,
for hope would be forever satisfied;
despair of any kind unthinkable.
His grace His answer is to all despair,
for in it lies remembrance of His Love.
Would He not gladly give the means by which
His Will is recognized? His grace is yours
by your acknowledgment. And {the} memory
of Him awakens in the mind [which] asks
the means of Him whereby its sleep is done.

- Today we ask of God the gift He has
most carefully preserved within our hearts,
waiting to be acknowledged. This the gift
by which God leans to us and lifts us up,
taking salvation's final step Himself.
All steps but this we learn, instructed by
His Voice. But finally He comes Himself
and takes us in His arms, and sweeps away
the cobwebs of our sleep. His gift of grace
is more than just an answer. It restores
all memories the sleeping mind forgot;
all certainty of what love's meaning is.

- God loves His Son. Request Him now to give
the means by which this world will disappear,
and vision first will come, with knowledge but
an instant later. For in grace you see
a light that covers all the world [in] love,
and watch fear disappear from every face
as hearts rise up and claim the light as theirs.
What now remains that Heaven be delayed
an instant longer? What [remains] undone
when your forgiveness rests on everything?

- It is a new and holy day today,
for we receive what has been given us.
Our faith lies in the Giver, not our own
acceptance. We acknowledge our mistakes,
but He to Whom all error is unknown
is yet the One Who answers our mistakes
by giving us the means to lay them down,
and rise to Him in gratitude and love.

- And He descends to meet us as we come
to Him, for what He has prepared for us
He gives and we receive. Such is His Will
because He loves His Son. To Him we pray
today, returning but the words He gave
to us through His Own Voice, His Word, His Love:

"Your grace is given me. I claim it now.
Father, I come to You. And You will come
To me who ask[s]. I am the Son You love." "

" Lesson 168 May 4, 1970
"Your grace is given me. I claim it now."

Worship is for fools. When you worship anything you give your
power and worth to the object pf worship.

Anyone who wants you to do this, is clueless or they want to
control you by telling you what the object of worship (which
doesn't even exist) suposedly wants.

Sure, there's a real God, but It is nothing like the Christian
false god, which is what they are talking about here

"The Nature of Personal Reality" by Jane Roberts contains
what Jesus actally tried to tell us.

Check it out and leave these religious basket cases to
their la-la land where Big Brother watches their every
move.
