A Course in Miracles,

Lesson 301 And God himself shall wipe away all tears.

Father,

Unless I judge,

I cannot weep.

Unless I judge,

I cannot suffer pain.

Unless I judge,

I cannot feel I am abandoned or unneeded in the world.

Father,

This world is my home because I judge it not.

It is only what you will.

Let me today behold the world uncondemned.

Through happy eyes,

Forgiveness has released from all distortion.

Father,

Let me see your world instead of mine.

Father,

When I see your world,

All the tears I shed will be forgotten.

The source of my tears will be gone.

Father,

I will not judge your world today.

God's world is happy.

Those who look on God's world can only add their joy to it and bless it as a cause of further joy in them.

We wept because we did not understand.

We have learned the world we saw was false.

We will look upon God's world today.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
