LESSON 294

My body is a wholly neutral thing.

1. 1I am a Son of God. 2And can I be another thing as well? 3Did God create the mortal and corruptible? 4What use has God’s beloved Son for what must die? 5And yet a neutral thing does not see death, for thoughts of fear are not invested there, nor is a mockery of love bestowed upon it. 6Its neutrality protects it while it has a use. 7And afterwards, without a purpose, it is laid aside. 8It is not sick nor old nor hurt. 9It is but functionless, unneeded and cast off. 10Let me not see it more than this today; of service for a while and fit to serve, to keep its usefulness while it can serve, and then to be replaced for greater good.

2. 1My body, Father, cannot be Your Son. 2And what is not created cannot be sinful nor sinless; neither good nor bad. 3Let me, then, use this dream to help Your plan that we awaken from all dreams we made.
