Review (125 and 126)

Stillness and giving: the two wings that carry you to peace

Child, today we make a precious review of lessons 125 and 126, guided by the thought that your mind holds only what you think with God. This review is not a mere mechanical repetition, but an invitation to let these truths sink more deeply into your heart. You may arrive tired, your ears still ringing with the noise of the world. Yet these moments of review are gifts you give yourself to remember who you truly are, beyond the illusions that seem so real.

Lesson 125 invites you to be still within, to receive God’s Word in quietness. It is not about seeking God far away, but about letting go of the petty thoughts that make so much noise in your mind. Lesson 126 reveals the secret of true giving: everything you give, you give to yourself. These two ideas intertwine like two rivers meeting in the ocean of truth. In the silence of your heart, when you stop struggling, you discover that giving and receiving are one.

When you truly forgive, you make no sacrifice. You discover that the forgiveness you offer sets you free, because there is no real separation between minds. Do you see the deep connection? The stillness you cultivate by letting God’s Word enter becomes the sacred space where authentic forgiveness can be born. In this silence, you recognize that your brother is not separate from you, and everything you give him returns to you a hundredfold, immediately and effortlessly.

To practice this today, take a few minutes of silence each hour. Breathe deeply and gently repeat: « In stillness, I receive the Word of God. » Then, when an opportunity for judgment arises, pause and choose to give. Give a sincere smile, a gentle word, a silence that understands without condemning. Notice how peace immediately fills you, like a soft wave erasing every trace of conflict within.

Remember this today: in stillness, you remember that everything you give, you give to yourself, and thus you discover the peace that has never left your heart.
