Complete Forgiveness

Perhaps it is not yet quite clear to you that each decision that you make is one between a grievance and a miracle. Each grievance stands like a dark shield of hate before the miracle it would conceal. And as you raise it up before your eyes, you will not see the miracle beyond. Yet all the while it waits for you in light, but you behold your grievances instead.

Then let us ask of Him Who knows this Son of God in his reality and truth, that we may look on him a different way, and see our savior shining in the light of true forgiveness, given unto us. We ask Him in the holy Name of God and of His Son, as holy as Himself:

Let me behold my savior in this one You have appointed as the one for me to ask to lead me to the holy light in which he stands, that I may join with him.

The body’s eyes are closed, and as you think of him who grieved you, let your mind be shown the light in him beyond your grievances.” (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 78,W-pI.78.1;7. See also ACIM Lesson 78 Insights.)

The body’s eyes cannot see the Light of the Son of God in our brothers. The Light of God’s Son is seen in the Mind we share with God. It is through the Holy Spirit in our mind that we are shown the truth in our brothers and ourselves.

The Holy Spirit teaches us that the images of the world are meaningless, have no value and can do no harm. Forgiveness is accomplished as we lay aside the images of the world because we have learned the images do nothing.

As we withdraw the value we have placed on the world’s images, our grievances fade away and we see the Light of God’s Son. As this Light shines upon us, we realize It is our own as well. There is only one Light. The adversary we thought stood before us is now recognized as our one Self, united in Love. Forgiveness is complete.
