This course is a beginning, not an end.
Your Friend goes with you. You are not alone. No-one who calls on Him can call
in vain. Whatever troubles you, be certain that He has the answer, and will
gladly give it to you if you simply turn to Him and ask it of Him. He will not
withhold all answers that you need for anything that seems to trouble you. He
knows the way to solve all problems and resolve all doubts. His certainty is
yours. You need but ask it of Him, and it will be given you.
You are as certain of arriving home as is the pathway of the sun laid down
before it rises, after it has set, and in the half-lit hours in between. Indeed,
your pathway is more certain still, for it can not be possible to change the
course of those whom God has called to Him. Therefore obey your will, and follow
Him Whom you accepted as your voice, to speak of what you really want and really
need. His is the Voice for God, and also yours. And thus He speaks of freedom and of truth.
No more specific lessons are assigned, for there is no more need of them.
Henceforth, hear but the Voice for God and for your Self when you retire from
the world, to seek reality instead. He will direct your efforts, telling you
exactly what to do, how to direct your mind, and when to come to Him in silence,
asking for His sure direction and His certain Word. His is the Word that God has
given you. His is the Word you chose to be your own.
And now I place you in His hands, to be His faithful followers, with Him as
Guide through every difficulty and all pain that you may think is real. Nor will
He give you pleasures that will pass away, for He gives only the eternal and the
good. Let Him prepare you further. He has earned your trust by speaking daily to
you of your Father and your brother and your Self. He will continue; now you
walk with Him as certain as is He of where you go; as sure as He of how you
should proceed, as confident as He is of the goal, and of your safe arrival in
the end.
The end is certain, and the means as well. To this we say "Amen."We will be
told exactly what God wills for us each time there is a choice to make. And He
will speak for God and for your Self, thus making sure that hell will claim you
not, and that each choice you make brings Heaven nearer to your reach. And so we
walk with Him from this time on, and turn to Him for guidance and for peace and
right direction. Joy attends our way. For we go homeward to an open door which
God has held unclosed to welcome us.
We trust our ways to Him and say "Amen." In peace we will continue in His
way, and trust all things to Him. In confidence we wait His answers, as we ask
His will in everything we do. He loves God's Son as we would love him, and He
teaches us how to behold him through His eyes, and love him as He does. You do
not walk alone. God's angels hover close, and all about. His Love surrounds
you, and of this be sure: that I will never leave you comfortless.
