Accepting the Limitless Love of Our Creator

Today I claim the gifts forgiveness gives.

I will not wait another day to find the treasures that my Father offers me. ²Illusions are all vain, and dreams are gone even while they are woven out of thoughts that rest on false perceptions. ³Let me not accept such meager gifts again today. ⁴God’s Voice is offering the peace of God to all who hear and choose to follow Him. ⁵This is my choice today. ⁶And so I go to find the treasures God has given me.

I seek but the eternal. ²For Your Son can be content with nothing less than this. ³What, then, can be his solace but what You are offering to his bewildered mind and frightened heart, to give him certainty and bring him peace? ⁴Today I would behold my brother sinless. ⁵This Your Will for me, for so will I behold my sinlessness. (A Course in Miracles, W-334. See also ACIM Lesson 334 Insights.)

God has one law, the law of Love. It guarantees that only His Love is real, eternally and without exception. Love cannot change or contain any differences. As His Son, His Love is our natural habitat.

Any perception of differences or change can only be an attempt to circumvent God’s law. It is a false perception which could never be true. With the Holy Spirit’s help, we look past our misperceptions to see the sinlessness in our brothers and ourselves. Forgiveness opens our mind to receive our Father’s gift of all of His Love.

The Light That Sets Us Free to Be Love

Forgiveness ends the dream of conflict here.

Conflict must be resolved. ²It cannot be evaded, set aside, denied, disguised, seen somewhere else, called by another name, or hidden by deceit of any kind, if it would be escaped. ³It must be seen exactly as it is, where it is thought to be, in the reality which has been given it, and with the purpose that the mind accorded it. ⁴For only then are its defenses lifted, and the truth can shine upon it as it disappears.

Father, forgiveness is the light You chose to shine away all conflict and all doubt, and light the way for our return to You. ²No light but this can end our evil dream. ³No light but this can save the world. ⁴For this alone will never fail in anything, being Your gift to Your beloved Son. (A Course in Miracles, W-333. See also ACIM Lesson 333 Insights.)

It is important that we learn to recognize what the ego is and what it does to distort our perception of reality. If every day we forgive one judgment, one perception of conflict, we will set ourselves on path to full recovery from our distorted self image.

As we practice this we will begin to recognize the common thread that winds through the myriad forms the ego uses to disguise its denial of Love, our Reality. We will see that there is only one problem — the choice for specialness. We will see that, despite their seeming differences, they are all the same problem. We can forgive the perceived problem and it will disappear.

Remembering the Love That Is Our Home

There is no conflict, for my will is Yours.

How foolish, Father, to believe Your Son could cause himself to suffer! ²Could he make a plan for his damnation, and be left without a certain way to his release? ³You love me, Father. ⁴You could never leave me desolate, to die within a world of pain and cruelty. ⁵How could I think that Love has left Itself? ⁶There is no will except the Will of Love. ⁷Fear is a dream, and has no will that can conflict with Yours. ⁸Conflict is sleep, and peace awakening. ⁹Death is illusion; life, eternal truth. ¹⁰There is no opposition to Your Will. ¹¹There is no conflict, for my will is Yours.

Forgiveness shows us that God’s Will is One, and that we share it. ²Let us look upon the holy sights forgiveness shows today, that we may find the peace of God. ³Amen. (A Course in Miracles, W-331. See also ACIM Lesson 331 Insights.)

There is an unbreakable link between our true Self and our Creator. It is the changeless unity of His Love. Our unity with our Father is unassailable.

Forgiveness awakens us from the dream of separation. We give ourselves and the world a gift when we forgive our misperceptions. With the Holy Spirit’s help, our forgiving eyes awaken us to the universe of Love that is our Home.

Accepting the Self God Created Holy

I can attack but my own sinlessness, and it is only that which keeps me safe.

Father, Your Son is holy. ²I am he on whom You smile in love and tenderness so dear and deep and still the universe smiles back on You, and shares Your Holiness. ³How pure, how safe, how holy, then, are we, abiding in Your Smile, with all Your Love bestowed upon us, living one with You, in brotherhood and Fatherhood complete; in sinlessness so perfect that the Lord of Sinlessness conceives us as His Son, a universe of Thought completing Him.

Let us not, then, attack our sinlessness, for it contains the Word of God to us. ²And in its kind reflection we are saved. (A Course in Miracles, W-341. See also ACIM Lesson 341 Insights.)

We all were created holy as an extension of God’s Love. But the ego feeds us a constant stream of thoughts that tell us we are guilty of causing harm and loss; that we are under constant attack by others who would take what we value and harm us. It portrays a world of danger fostered by the wish for specialness. But this world is an illusion, a dream.

All the while, our true Self remains as God created It. His Love surrounds and protects us, keeping us safe from our fearful dreams. We remember our holiness by forgiving our fearful dream. We accept Christ’s vision which shows us that we live in Love. The fearful images of the dream are dispelled in the Light of our Father’s Love.

Remembering Our True Identity Is Love

⁵God would not have Heaven incomplete. ⁶It waits for you, as I do. ⁷I am incomplete without your part in me. ⁸And as I am made whole we go together to our ancient home, prepared for us before time was and kept unchanged by time, immaculate and safe, as it will be at last when time is done.

²For this alone I need; that you will hear the words I speak, and give them to the world. ³You are my voice, my eyes, my feet, my hands through which I save the world. ⁴The Self from which I call to you is but your own. ⁵To Him we go together. ⁶Take your brother’s hand, for this is not a way we walk alone. ⁷In him I walk with you, and you with me. ⁸Our Father wills His Son be one with Him. ⁹What lives but must not then be one with you?

⁵You are His Son, completing His extension in your own. ⁶We practice but an ancient truth we knew before illusion seemed to claim the world. ⁷And we remind the world that it is free of all illusions every time we say:

⁸God is but Love, and therefore so am I. (A Course in Miracles, W-rV.in.8:5-8;9:2-9;10:5-8)

Our true Identity is Love and nothing else. This is the central message the Course is teaching. The only thing that interferes with remembering our Identity is the wish for specialness. There can be no differences in Love, which is one and the same, everywhere and always.

Judgments are based on perception of differences, which cannot exist in Love’s presence. We set ourselves free from our limited perceptions by offering them to the Holy Spirit for Him to interpret on our behalf. He will sort the false from the True and offer It to us to reveal the shining Light of Love that is our true Self.

Freeing Ourselves to Extend the Love We Are

Salvation is my only function here.

Salvation and forgiveness are the same. ²They both imply that something has gone wrong; something to be saved from, forgiven for; something amiss that needs corrective change; something apart or different from the Will of God.

²The mind that sees illusions thinks them real. ³They have existence in that they are thoughts. ⁴And yet they are not real, because the mind that thinks these thoughts is separate from God.

⁴Unshaken does the Holy Spirit look on what you see; on sin and pain and death, on grief and separation and on loss. ⁵Yet does He know one thing must still be true; God is still Love, and this is not His Will.

³Let in the light, and you will look upon no obstacle to what He wills for you. ⁴Open your secrets to His kindly light, and see how bright this light still shines in you. (A Course in Miracles, W-99.1:1-2;3:2-4;5:4-5;8:3-4. See also ACIM Lesson 99 Insights.)

Our desire for a special, unique identity has led us to build a false world of differences. It is a denial of our one Identity in the oneness of God’s Love. This denial imprisons us in a loveless fantasy where loss and harm seem real.

The Holy Spirit is ever present on our mind, ready to shine the Light of Love on our mistaken perceptions. He needs only our willingness to accept His help to set us free. By letting in His Light of Love, our misperceptions are dispelled. We free ourselves to be unlimited extensions of our Father’s Love.

Welcoming the Grace of God’s Love

Fear binds the world. Forgiveness sets it free.

The ego makes illusions. ²Truth undoes its evil dreams by shining them away. ³Truth never makes attack. ⁴It merely is. ⁵And by its presence is the mind recalled from fantasies, awaking to the real. ⁶Forgiveness bids this presence enter in, and take its rightful place within the mind. ⁷Without forgiveness is the mind in chains, believing in its own futility. ⁸Yet with forgiveness does the light shine through the dream of darkness, offering it hope, and giving it the means to realize the freedom that is its inheritance.

We would not bind the world again today. ²Fear holds it prisoner. ³And yet Your Love has given us the means to set it free. ⁴Father, we would release it now. ⁵For as we offer freedom, it is given us. ⁶And we would not remain as prisoners, while You are holding freedom out to us. (A Course in Miracles, W-332. See also ACIM Lesson 332 Insights.)

The Will of our Father is that we be free to give and receive His Love without limit. His Love unifies all of Reality. In Its oneness, we are certain of our safety. We live in perfect peace in the Home held unaltered by our Father.

Today we practice letting the Holy Spirit interpret all we perceive. He will show us the changeless Love beyond all appearances of change. His vision will help us forgive our fantasies of differences and welcome the certainty of God’s Love. In gratitude we heal.
