LESSON 285

My holiness shines bright and clear today.

1. 1Today I wake with joy, expecting but the happy things of God to come to me. 2I ask but them to come, and realize my invitation will be answered by the thoughts to which it has been sent by me. 3And I will ask for only joyous things the instant I accept my holiness. 4For what would be the use of pain to me, what purpose would my suffering fulfill, and how would grief and loss avail me if insanity departs from me today, and I accept my holiness instead?

2. 1Father, my holiness is Yours. 2Let me rejoice in it, and through for­giveness be restored to sanity. 3Your Son is still as You created him. 4My holiness is part of me, and also part of You. 5And what can alter Holi­ness Itself?
