A Course in Miracles.

Lesson 359.

God's answer is some form of peace.

All misery is replaced with joy.

All prison doors are open.

All sin is understood as merely a mistake.

Creation be your own.

We have misunderstood all things,

But we have not made sinners of the holy children of God.

What you created,

Sinless,

So abides forever.

We rejoice to learn that we have made mistakes which have no real effects on us.

In fact,

Forgiveness rests upon a certain base.

A base more solid than the shadow world we see.

Mother,

Help us forgive,

For we would be redeemed.

Learn that I have made mistakes which have no real effects on me.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
