LESSON 281

I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts.

1. 1Father, Your Son is perfect. 2When I think that I am hurt in any way, it is because I have forgotten who I am, and that I am as You created me. 3Your Thoughts can only bring me happiness. 4If ever I am sad or hurt or ill, I have forgotten what You think, and put my little meaningless ideas in place of where Your Thoughts belong, and where they are. 5I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts. 6The Thoughts I think with You can only bless. 7The Thoughts I think with You alone are true.

2. 1I will not hurt myself today. 2For I am far beyond all pain. 3My Father placed me safe in Heaven, watching over me. 4And I would not attack the Son He loves, for what He loves is also mine to love.
