Open your eyes today and look upon a happy world of safety and of peace. Forgiveness is the means by which it comes to take the place of hell. In quietness it rises up to greet your open eyes, and fill your heart with deep tranquility as ancient truths, forever newly born, arise in your awareness. What you will remember then can never be described. Yet your forgiveness offers it to you.
Today it will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness offers, and the joy the lifting of the veil holds out to you.
Before the light you will receive today the world will fade until it disappears, and you will see another world arise you have no words to picture. Now we walk directly into light, and we receive the gifts that have been held in store for us since time began, kept waiting for today. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 122, W-pI.122.8;11:2-12:2. See also ACIM Lesson 122 Insights.)
We condemn ourselves to hell when we subscribe to the ego belief system of separation. Separation is the denial of the oneness of Heaven. Being all that is real, Heaven is everything and hell is nothing. Only our made up illusions make hell appear to be something. Yet it is only empty images that have no meaning of their own.
Forgiveness is letting go of trying to give meaning to empty images. The body, itself an empty image, is the ego’s mechanism for making images seem real. Don’t believe it! As we forgive, let go of believing in images, the joy of Heaven returns to our awareness.
To fully experience Heaven’s joy, we cannot bring one false image with us. The path to complete forgiveness is taken step by step as we accept the Holy Spirit’s help. He takes our small efforts and magnifies them, bringing blessing to all the world.
Today we will take many wonderful little easy forgiveness steps on our journey of return to the Heaven of our Home.
