ACIM Workbook Lesson #161
“Give me your blessing, holy Son of God.”
Have you ever heard these statements? "It's my cross to bear." "He/She's a thorn in my side." These are ways of saying that some things and/or people seem to be a problem in our life, and we're carrying them around as though they're a part of us and we have no choice but to bear it. There's a particular topic of contention in our town that never fails to get me riled. I like to think nothing bothers me, but this seems to be my "cross to bear." Motorcycles. Big, loud, revving motorcycles. Obviously I can change the way I think about them. It should be easy to see the drivers as reflections of God, unified by our humanity, not separated by our mode of transportation. Today I choose to look at this differently. Another saying comes to mind: God, give me strength!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"’Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.’ It should be thoroughly understood that all men have one Mind, one God and Father, one Life, Truth, and Love. Mankind will become perfect in proportion as this fact becomes apparent, war will cease and the true brotherhood of man will be established." Science & Health Page 467:16-20
