Accepting God’s Help to Forgive

God’s answer is some form of peace. All pain is healed; all misery replaced with joy. All prison doors are opened. And all sin is understood as merely a mistake.

Father, today we will forgive Your world, and let creation be Your Own. ²We have misunderstood all things. ³But we have not made sinners of the holy Sons of God. ⁴What You created sinless so abides forever and forever. ⁵Such are we. ⁶And we rejoice to learn that we have made mistakes which have no real effects on us. ⁷Sin is impossible, and on this fact forgiveness rests upon a certain base more solid than the shadow world we see. ⁸Help us forgive, for we would be redeemed. ⁹Help us forgive, for we would be at peace. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 359, W-359. See also ACIM Lesson 359 Insights.)

The ego doesn’t like to ask for help. It believes it knows what to do and is entirely on its own. This attitude is carefully contrived to keep the Love of God out of this world. This is top priority for the ego because, were Love allowed into the ego’s realm, it would be transformed and the ego would simply cease to seem to be.

To escape from the ego’s loveless world, we need only ask for Help that comes from beyond the ego’s proclaimed domain. Our Father is always with us, ready to help us forgive. We need only be willing to accept His Help. God wants us to know His peace and joy. He wants us to know we share His domain of limitless Love.

Today we are willing to acknowledge we need help to escape from the fear and guilt the ego propagates. We ask for His Help to forgive today.
