Lesson 249

W-pII.249.1. Forgiveness paints a picture of a world where suffering is over, loss becomes impossible and anger makes no sense. ² Attack is gone, and madness has an end. ³ What suffering is now conceivable? ⁴ What loss can be sustained? ⁵ The world becomes a place of joy, abundance, charity and endless giving. ⁶ It is now so like to Heaven that it quickly is transformed into the light that it reflects. ⁷ And so the journey which the Son of God began has ended in the light from which he came.

W-pII.249.2. Father, we would return our minds to You. ² We have betrayed them, held them in a vise of bitterness, and frightened them with thoughts of violence and death. ³ Now would we rest again in You, as You created us.
