A Course in Miracles,

Lesson 334 Today I Claim the Gifts Forgiveness Gives I will not wait another day to find the treasures that my Father offers me.

Dreams are gone even while they are woven out of thoughts that rest on false perceptions.

Let me not accept such meager gifts again today.

God's voice is offering the peace of God to all who hear,

And to all who choose to follow Him.

This is my choice today,

And so I go to find the treasures God has given me.

Father,

I seek but The Eternal,

For Your child can be content with nothing less.

What,

Then,

Can be my solace but what You are offering to my bewildered mind and my frightened heart?

Father,

What can be my solace but to give me certainty and faith?

Father,

I would behold my brothers and my sisters sinless.

This is Your will for me,

For so will I behold my own sinlessness.

Today I claim the gifts forgiveness gives.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
