Love Sees Only Innocence

God does not forgive because He has never condemned. And there must be condemnation before forgiveness is necessary. Forgiveness is the great need of this world, but that is because it is a world of illusions. Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves from illusions, while those who withhold forgiveness are binding themselves to them. As you condemn only yourself, so do you forgive only yourself.

Yet although God does not forgive, His Love is nevertheless the basis of forgiveness. Fear condemns and love forgives. Forgiveness thus undoes what fear has produced, returning the mind to the awareness of God. For this reason, forgiveness can truly be called salvation. It is the means by which illusions disappear. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.46.1-2)

The ego’s greatest need is to project guilt. To let go of the bondage of the ego, our greatest need is to open to God’s Love, Which sees past the ego’s guilt to the innocence which is eternally there. Love sees past separation to our true Identity as eternal Love. This means that we all are eternal Love right now.

Today we open to the Light of true forgiveness and recognize that only Love is everywhere. We bring all thoughts of fear and guilt to the Voice of Love within to help us see as Love sees. We are grateful that only Love is real

The Gifts of Forgiveness

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, W-pI.122.8;11:2;12:2)

All our stress, anxiety, fear and guilt are the effect of unforgiveness, of hanging on to the belief that we succeeded in separating from our Source. Forgiveness dismantles the veil that hides God’s gifts given us in our creation. Forgiveness reveals the Love we are that is everywhere to be seen. Forgiveness lets us rejoin the Self we share with all our brothers so that once again we remember that we dwell in perfect peace and quiet joy eternally. The gifts forgiveness gives are beyond words to describe. As we accept these gifts we know that we have no needs for all that we could ever need is already given us.

Today we are given another opportunity to clear away the veil and welcome the vision offered us by our true Self that shows us we are in Heaven now.

Choosing True Vision

In every moment we have the opportunity to see the illusions of the dream or look past them to the Presence of Love, the only Reality. If anything occurs in the dream that seems to disturb our peace, it is because we are focused on appearances instead of looking beyond them to the truth.

By the ego’s design, the body’s vision is nearsighted, incapable of looking beyond form to the reality of Love. Seeing the Love that is everywhere requires a different kind of seeing, an inward vision guided by the Holy Spirit, our true Self. In every moment we choose between the body’s false vision and the true vision of our Self.

Our practice today is to hold our mind open to the true vision that will always show us the innocence of Love that is in everyone, including ourselves. This practice clears the way for a happy day of joining in Love. It is a gift we give to ourselves and all our brothers.

We Accept God’s Strength Today

We accept God’s strength with all our activities today. We practice bringing Holy Spirit’s inspiration with us into all our doing. We remember to be grateful for all the assistance we receive from Holy Spirit with every situation we encounter.

We accept the peace, joy, the awareness of oneness and the fact that we are still as God created us. We are willing to be happy as we listen to Holy Spirit’s inspiration all through the day.

Awakening to Life Eternal

The death of specialness is not your death, but your awaking into life eternal. You but emerge from an illusion of what you are to the acceptance of yourself as God created you. (A Course in Miracles, T-24.II.14:4-5)

God gave all of Himself to every brother, knowing we all are one. God created each of us as the same Love, knowing there are no differences.

Today we practice knowing every brother as God knows them — as Love and nothing else. In truth we are all the same Love that God created us to be. As we learn to accept this, we awaken to life eternal.

We Accept God’s Universal Presence

There is no time, no place, no state where God is absent. There is nothing to be feared. There is no way in which a gap could be conceived of in the Wholeness that is His. (A Course in Miracles, T-29.I.1:1-3)

God’s Love is always present. We were created as Love, eternally in Love. Today we open our minds and hearts to Holy Spirit’s vision, which always shows us the Love that is everywhere to be recognized.

As we accept Holy Spirit’s guidance, we see everyone as one with us, we see everyone as Love. With His certainty, we know that we are perfectly safe in Love; there is nothing to fear. We have no need to defend because we remember we are in Love eternally, in need of nothing and cannot lose the Love we are. This is our practice for today.

Letting Ourselves Be Led to Quietness

Whenever you are tempted to undertake a useless journey that would lead away from light, remember what you really want, and say:

The Holy Spirit leads me unto Christ, and where else would I go? What need have I but to awake in Him?

Then follow Him in joy, with faith that He will lead you safely through all dangers to your peace of mind this world may set before you. …Content yourself with what you will as surely keep, and be not restless, for you undertake a quiet journey to the peace of God, where He would have you be in quietness. (A Course in Miracles, T-13.VII.14;15:1,3)

As we allow ourselves to be led to quietness, every problem is quietly resolved. In quietness there is peace and joy, and awareness that we are enfolded in God’s Love. In quietness there is an awareness that in truth we still remain as God created us. In truth we have never left God and are in Heaven now.

Allowing our mind to be still is an invitation for the Holy Spirit to enter. The Holy Spirit has great gifts to give as we are willing to step back and let Him lead the way. He gladly returns us to the awareness of Love’s eternal presence. He shows us that we are safe, we are innocent, we are loved, we are Home. And for this we are filled with gratitude as we quiet our minds and let Holy Spirit in.
