God in His mercy wills that I be saved.

I need but look upon all things that seem to hurt me, and with perfect certainty assure myself, God wills that I be saved from this, and merely watch them disappear. I need but keep in mind my Father's Will for me is only happiness, to ﬁnd that only happiness has come to me. And I need but remember that His Love surrounds His Son and keeps his sinlessness forever perfect, to be sure that I am saved and safe forever in His arms. I am the Son He loves. And I am saved because God in His mercy wills it so.

Father, Your holiness is mine. Your Love created me, and made my sinlessness forever part of You. I have no guilt or sin in me, for there is none inYou.

✨ Summary & practice

God, in His mercy, wills that you be saved.

This lesson gives you a simple and powerful process to dissolve all suffering. "I need only look at all things that seem to hurt me, then assure myself with perfect certainty: 'God wills that I be saved from this,' and I will see them simply disappear." This is a three-step process: look at what hurts you, a situation, an emotion, a person. Assure yourself with perfect certainty that you are saved and safe forever. Then remember that God’s Love surrounds His Son and keeps his innocence forever perfect.

The lesson continues: "I need only keep in mind that my Father’s Will for me is only happiness, to discover that only happiness has come to me." God’s Will for you is not ambiguous: it is only happiness.

The third step is remembering God’s protective Love: "And I need only remember that God’s Love surrounds His Son and keeps his innocence forever perfect, to be certain I am saved and safe forever in His Arms." You are surrounded by God’s Love like a protective veil that preserves your perfect innocence.

Practice:

Today, whenever something hurts you, a word, a situation, a thought, pause and apply the three-step process: 1) Look at what seems to hurt you. 2) Affirm with perfect certainty: "God wills that I be saved from this." 3) Remember that God’s Love surrounds you and your innocence is perfect.

God does not want you to suffer, never: suffering is always a call to remember that His Will for you is only happiness, and that this happiness is already present.
