“I sought for many things, and found despair. Now do I seek but one, for in that one is all I need, and only what I need. All that I sought before I needed not, and did not even want. My only need I did not recognize. But now I see that I need only truth. In that all needs are satisfied, all cravings end, all hopes are finally fulfilled and dreams are gone. Now have I everything that I could need. Now have I everything that I could want. And now at last I find myself at peace.
“And for that peace, our Father, we give thanks. What we denied ourselves You have restored, and only that is what we really want.” (, A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 251, W-pII.251. See also ACIM Lesson 251 Insights.)
The world we experience of frustration, anger, fear, guilt, sadness and hopelessness is of our own making. It is the effect of denying the one gift given us by our Creator Who gave us all that He is, which is all that is real. We suffer from believing in illusions that anything other than the oneness of Love is real.
Because of this mistaken belief, our only need now is to accept the truth that we remain as Love created us. Here we remember the peace that has always been ours. We need seek for nothing else. This is all we really want.
