ACIM Workbook Lesson #354
"We stand together, Christ and I, in peace And certainty of purpose. And in Him Is His Creator, as He is in me."

Knowing the Truth and believing it to be True don't always occur at the same time. When we hear of some unspeakable horror, it's hard to believe that such things can happen when we've been holding our thought to all that is good and pure. Once again we have witnessed a massacre of children in our schools. It seems unthinkable, unspeakable, impossible. We find ourselves questioning God as to how this can happen. I find solace in knowing that God has nothing to do with it. God does not create material circumstance and push us out the door to face it alone. This Oneness we all share is Spirit, not form. In Spirit, we all "stand together". Looking with God's eyes shows us the Truth of our being, and that Being is the same whether it's Hitler or Mother Teresa. And so I will look with these eyes in true compassion, as I see the dear children and their families with the same eyes as I witness the perpetrator of this travesty and his loved ones: the same way we are all seen by God. When these people come to thought, I send them peace, Love, calm contented thought. We have all seen how our thoughts affect those around us. In our unity, they are beneficial to everyone. This "certainty of purpose" blesses all.

Mary Baker Eddy quote:
"The relations of God and man, divine Principle and idea, are indestructible in Science; and Science knows no lapse from nor return to harmony, but holds the divine order or spiritual law, in which God and all that He creates are perfect and eternal, to have remained unchanged in its eternal history."
