Lesson 104
I seek but what belongs to me in truth.
And joy and peace are my inheritance. God's gifts of joy and peace are all I want.
L 104: (2:4) His are the gifts that are within us now, for they are timeless.
God’s gifts are outside of our ego’s dream, where ego has no power:
“The Kingdom is perfectly united and perfectly protected, and the ego will not prevail against it.” (T-4.III.1-12).
L 104: (2: 5-6) And we need not wait to have them. They belong to us today.
“Salvation is immediate… For a miracle is now. It stands already here, in present grace, within the only interval of time that sin and fear have overlooked, but which is all there is no time. The working out of all correction takes no time at all” (T-26. VIII).
It is only our guilt, originated in the past, that asks us to pay God back in the present for the hoped for promise of future salvation. Jesus, on the other hand, tells us that we need not wait for Heaven’s gifts; we need merely to accept them now.
