Forgiveness Guarantees Happiness

All false humility we lay aside today, that we may listen to God’s Voice reveal to us what He would have us do. We do not doubt our adequacy for the function He will offer us. We will be certain only that He knows our strengths, our wisdom and our holiness. And if He deems us worthy, so we are. It is but arrogance that judges otherwise.

His gentle Voice is calling from the known to the unknowing. He would comfort you, although He knows no sorrow. He would make a restitution, though He is complete; a gift to you, although He knows that you have everything already. He has Thoughts which answer every need His Son perceives, although He sees them not. For Love must give, and what is given in His Name takes on the form most useful in a world of form.

These are the forms which never can deceive, because they come from Formlessness Itself. Forgiveness is an earthly form of love, which as it is in Heaven has no form. Yet what is needed here is given here as it is needed. In this form you can fulfill your function even here, although what love will mean to you when formlessness has been restored to you is greater still. Salvation of the world depends on you who can forgive. Such is your function here. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 186, W-pI.186.4;13;14. See also ACIM Lesson 186 Insights.)

Forgiveness is our only function given us by God in His plan for our salvation. Fulfilling this function guarantees a happy outcome, for it takes away the barriers to Love’s presence.

As we are willing to welcome God’s Voice, He will teach us how to see past the images of guilt and fear to help us recognize that nothing can happen to change the truth of What we are as God’s one Son. God’s Son can neither harm nor be harmed because Love is wholly harmless. This is what God created us to be.

Today we practice bringing everything that disturbs our peace of mind to the Voice for God, willing to receive His gentle correction. Thus will we do our part in God’s plan for salvation.
