Review of Lessons 41 - 50 41) "God goes with me wherever I go." How can I be alone when God always goes with me? How can I be doubtful and unsure of myself when perfect certainty abides in Him? How can I be disturbed by anything when He rests in me in absolute peace? How can I suffer when love and joy surround me through Him? Let me not cherish illusions about myself. I am perfect because God goes with me wherever I go. 42) "God is my Strength. Vision is His gift." Let me not look to my own eyes to see today. Let me be willing to exchange my pitiful illusion of seeing for the vision that is given by God. Christ's vision is His gift, and He has given it to me. Let me call upon this gift today, so that this day may help me to understand eternity. 43) "God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him." I can see what God wants me to see. I cannot see anything else. Beyond His Will lie only illusions. It is these I choose when I think I can see apart from Him. It is these I choose when I try to see through the body's eyes. Yet the vision of Christ has been given me to replace them. It is through this vision that I choose to see. 44) "God is the Light in which I see." I cannot see in darkness. God is the only light. Therefore, I am to see, it must be through Him. I have tried to define what seeing is, and I have been wrong. Now it is given me to understand that God is the Light in which I see. Let me welcome vision and the happy world it will show me. 45) "God is the Mind with which I think." I have no thoughts I do not share with God. I have no thoughts apart from Him, because I have no mind apart from his. As part of His Mind, my thoughts are his and his Thoughts are mine. 46) God is the Love in which I forgive." God does not forgive because He has never condemned. The blameless cannot blame, and those who have accepted their innocence see nothing to forgive. Yet forgiveness is the means by which I will recognize my innocence. It is the reflection of God's Love on earth. It will bring me near enough to Heaven that the Love of God can reach down to me and raise me up to Him. 47) "God is the Strength in which I trust." It is not my own strength through which I forgive. It is through the strength of God in me, which I am remembering as I forgive. As I begin to see, I recognize His reflection on earth. I forgive all things because I feel the stirring of His strength in me. And I begin to remember the Love I chose to forge,t but Which has not forgotten me. 48) "There is nothing to fear." How safe the world will look to me when I can see it! It will not look anything like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and everything I see will lean toward me to bless me. I will recognize in everyone my dearest Friend. What could there be to fear in a world that I have forgiven, and that has forgiven me? 49) "God's Voice speaks to me all through the day." There is not a moment in which God's Voice ceases to call on my forgiveness to save me. There is not a moment in which his Voice fails to direct my thoughts, guide my actions and lead my feet. I am walking steadily on toward truth. There is nowhere else I can go, because God's Voice is the only voice and the only guide that has been given to His Son. 50) "I am sustained by the Love of God." As I listen to God's Voice, I am sustained by His Love. As I open my eyes, His Love light up the world for me to see. As I forgive, His Love reminds me that His Son is sinless. And as I look upon the world with the vision He has given me. i remember that I am His Son.
