L e s s o n 268
Let all things be exactly as they are.
1 Let me not be Your critic,
Lord, today, and judge against You. Let me not attempt to interfere
with Your creation and distort it into sickly forms. Let me be
willing to withdraw my wishes from its unity and thus to let it be as
You created it. For thus will I be able, too, to recognize my Self as
You created me. In Love was I created, and in Love will I remain
forever. What can frighten me when I let all things be exactly as
they are?
2 Let not our sight be
blasphemous today nor let our ears attend to lying tongues. Only
reality is free of pain. Only reality is free of loss. Only reality
is wholly safe. And it is only this we seek today.
