I will accept Atonement for myself,

For I remain as God created me.

                                                     LESSON 139

Let the ancient learning pass away and Truth be reborn in me.

"There is no battle that must be prepared; no time to be expended, and no plans that need be laid for bringing in the new. There is an ancient battle being waged against the truth, but truth does not respond. Who could be hurt in such a war, unless he hurts himself? He has no enemy in truth. And can he be assailed by dreams?"

The truth about me is that I am as God created me - perfect.

Let me accept the truth about myself, and go my way rejoicing in the endless Love of God!

It is but this I am asked to do. This is my mission, here, on earth; to fulfill my function.

I did not come to reinforce the madness that I once believed in.

Let me not forget the goal that I accepted!

It is more than my happiness alone I came to gain. What I accept as what I am proclaims what everyone must be, anong with me.

Let me not fail my brothers, or I fail myself!

Let me look lovingly on them, that I may know that they are part of me, and me part of them.

Let me demonstrate the Oneness of the Son of God which is unassailed by any belief of his that he does not know what he is.

Let me accept Atonement, not to change reality, but merely to accept the truth about myself.

I have not lost the knowledge that God gave to me when He created me like Him.

Let me remember it for everyone, for in creation all minds are as one. And in my memory is the recall how dear my brothers are to me in truth and how much a part of me is every mind.

Amen.
