ACIM Lesson 357 Contemplation

"Truth answers every call we make to God, responding first with miracles, and then returning unto us to be itself."
Truth always responds to our calls to God, initially by manifesting miracles and then by revealing itself to us. This lesson teaches that forgiveness is a reflection of truth, guiding us to offer miracles and escape the illusions of the world. By recognizing the sinlessness in our brothers and sisters, we are healed and reminded of our own innocence, aligning with God's love and experiencing peace.
