LESSON 86.  Second Review

(71) Only Love’s plan or salvation will work.

Love’s plan for salvation will save me from my perception of this.
This is no exception in Love’s plan for my salvation.
Let me perceive this only in the light of Love’s plan for salvation.

(72) Holding grievances is an attack on Love’s plan for salvation.

I am choosing between misperception and salvation as I look on this.
If I see grounds for grievances in this, I will not see the grounds for my salvation.
This calls for salvation, not attack.

Comment:

Following through on the idea of switching out the word Love for the word God, I thought I’d action that from now on in these posts.

Today I wonder what it is about being here that makes attack seem such an attractive option?

Could it be we are just afraid of love?  I know that has been true in my case in my past and still sometimes in my present.

Is there any other reason to be afraid of love, other than feeling so guilty that we are not able to feel the guilt?  For some reason it’s easier to project the guilt out in anger at the world and those that populate it.  Until one day it just isn’t anymore.

That day comes when we realise that even if we can’t let ourselves off the hook that Love already has.
