ACIM Lesson 235 Contemplation

"God in His mercy wills that I be saved."
This lesson emphasizes that God's will for us is salvation, which comes from recognizing that only love is real. It encourages us to look upon anything that seems to hurt us and affirm with certainty that God wills for us to be saved from it. The lesson teaches that by aligning our will with God's will, we can experience the truth that we are eternally safe in God's love and cannot truly be harmed. It reminds us that we remain as God created us - perfect, innocent, and immersed in love - and that this reality cannot change because it is God's will.

A Course in Miracles Lesson 235 God in His Mercy Wills that I be Saved I need to look upon all things that seem to hurt me.

I need with perfect certainty to assure myself that God wills that I be saved from this,

And then merely watch all the things that seem to hurt me disappear.

I need only to keep in mind my Father's will for me is only happiness,

And I will find that only happiness has come to me.

I need only to remember that God's love surrounds me and keeps my sinlessness forever perfect,

To be sure that I am saved and safe forever in God's arms.

I am the child God loves.

I am saved because God in His mercy wills it so.
