6. What Is The Christ?

Lesson 272

How Can Illusions Satisfy God’s Son?

Father, the truth belongs to me. My home is set in Heaven by Your will and mine. Can dreams content me? Can illusions bring me happiness? What but Your memory can satisfy Your Son? I will accept no less than You have given me. I am surrounded by Your love, forever still, forever gentle, and forever safe. God’s Son must be as You created him.

2. Today we pass illusions by. And if we hear temptation call to us to stay and linger in a dream, we turn away and ask ourselves if we, the Sons of God, could be content with dreams,⁷⁹ when Heaven can be chosen just as easily as hell, and love will happily replace all fear.^[1]

Footnote 79. These are instructions for response to temptation. We are supposed to “pass illusions by” today, but if, instead, we hear those illusions calling to us, tempting us to turn aside from our journey to Heaven and “stay and linger” with them instead, we should turn away from them and ask ourselves, “How can illusions satisfy God’s Son?”

Personal Notes:

How can illusions satisfy God’s Son? I meditate on above prayer today, and in quiet I wait to hear my Father’s Voice. I pray for all my brothers and myself for continued guidance, wisdom, discernment, protection, and illumination, of The Way, The Truth, The Life, in Christ Jesus, Amen. Thank you for sharing with me. Walk in Love my friend!
