The Gift of Sight

ACIM Workbook Lesson #42:
“God is my strength. Vision is His gift.”

I had a good friend whose two daughters died in tragic ways. After that, dear Betty wanted to quit living, and so she did. First of all she stayed incredibly busy, so she wouldn't have time to think. Then she died of multiple cancers. During this time I would have given anything to impart to her today's lesson; to have the ability to show her this "Vision [which] is His gift". But only she could have done that. What I did do was to offer her a cup of cold water in the form of divine Love: I showed it to her, I gave it to her, I let her know it was hers. So today, dear friend, I will think of you while I go about the day's activities, remembering that I have the strength of eternity and the infinite vision which I share with you and everyone in the Oneness of divine Mind. This cup I raise to you, Betty Lou!

Mary Baker Eddy quotes:
“Rise in the strength of Spirit to resist all that is unlike good. God has made man capable of this, and nothing can vitiate the ability and power divinely bestowed on man.”
