LESSON 85. Second Review
(69) My grievances hide the light of the world in me.
Let me not use this as a block to sight.
The light of the world will shine all this away.
I have no need for this. I want to see.
(70) My salvation comes from me.
Let this not tempt me to look away from me for my salvation.
I will not let this interfere with my awareness of the Source of my salvation.
This has no power to remove salvation from me.

Comment:
When I read this lesson today the thought came into mind of having two options to weigh up. Like choosing whether to stay home for the weekend or go somewhere. But in this case, in one hand we have grievances, in the other hand we have salvation.
It’s up to us to choose between them and the choice is ours to make. No one else but us can make this choice.
Holding onto grievances will mean our happiness will always be up to something out there, outside of ourselves. Something or someone will have to change out there in the world for us to be happy.
Salvation however is simply up to us to choose or rather salvation is a given if we give up our grievances. It doesn’t depend on anything outside ourselves as it’s already complete and waiting, inside us.
Now lets see, a painfully hot baked potato in one hand or a warm fuzzy in the other? Which do I let go of and which do I keep?
Tough choice:)!
