LESSON 256

God is the only goal I have today.

1. 1The way to God is through forgiveness here. 2There is no other way. 3If sin had not been cherished by the mind, what need would there have been to find the way to where you are? 4Who would still be uncertain? 5Who could be unsure of who he is? 6And who would yet remain asleep, in heavy clouds of doubt about the holiness of him whom God created sinless? 7Here we can but dream. 8But we can dream we have forgiven him in whom all sin remains impossible, and it is this we choose to dream today. 9God is our goal; forgiveness is the means by which our minds return to Him at last.

2. 1And so, our Father, would we come to You in Your appointed way. 2We have no goal except to hear Your Voice, and find the way Your sacred Word has pointed out to us.
