A Course in Miracles,

Lesson 231 Father,

I will but to remember you.

What can I seek for,

Father,

But your love?

Perhaps I think I seek for something else.

Perhaps I think I seek for something I have called by many names.

Father,

Your love is the only thing I seek or ever sought.

Father,

There is nothing else but your love that I could ever really want to find.

Father,

Let me remember you.

Father,

What else could I desire but the truth about myself?

This is your will,

My brother.

This is your will,

My sister,

To seek our Father's love.

You share your will with me,

And you share your will with the one as well who is our Father.

To remember our Father is heaven.

It is heaven we seek.

It is only heaven that will be given us to find.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
