ACIM Lesson 327 Contemplation

"I need but call and You will answer me."
This lesson emphasizes that God's love is always available and responsive to our calls. It teaches that we are not required to take salvation on faith alone, as God has promised to answer us directly. We are encouraged to test this promise by calling upon God and observing the response in our experiences, which will strengthen our faith and trust in His love. By doing so, we learn that God's promises are reliable and that He awaits our call to provide us with the help we need to return home.

Lesson 327.

Father,

I need but call,

And you will answer me.

I am not asked to take salvation on the basis of an unsupported faith,

For God has promised He will hear my call and answer me Himself.

Let me but learn from my experience that this is true,

And faith in God must surely come to me.

This is the faith that will endure.

This is the faith that will take me farther and still farther on the road that leads to God.

Thus,

I will be sure that God has not abandoned me and loves me still,

Waiting for my call to give me all the help I need to come to Him.

Father,

I thank you that your promises will never fail in my experience if I test them out.

Let me attempt,

Therefore,

To try them and to judge them not.

Father,

Your word is one with you.

You give the means whereby conviction comes,

And surety of your abiding love is gained at last.

I am not asked to take salvation on the basis of an unsupported faith,

For God has promised He will hear my call and answer me Himself.

Let me but learn from my experience that this is true,

And faith in God must surely come to me.

Call,

And you will answer me.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
