Answering the Call for Forgiveness

I feel the Love of God within me now.

There is a light in you the world can not perceive. And with its eyes you will not see this light, for you are blinded by the world. Yet you have eyes to see it. It is there for you to look upon. It was not placed in you to be kept hidden from your sight. This light is a reflection of the thought we practice now. To feel the Love of God within you is to see the world anew, shining in innocence, alive with hope, and blessed with perfect charity and love.

This is the world the Love of God reveals. …A world in which forgiveness shines on everything, and peace offers its gentle light to eve­ryone, is inconceivable to those who see a world of hatred rising from attack, poised to avenge, to murder and destroy.

Yet is the world of hatred equally unseen and inconceivable to those who feel God’s Love in them. Their world reflects the qui­etness and peace that shines in them; the gentleness and inno­cence they see surrounding them; the joy with which they look out from the endless wells of joy within. What they have felt in them they look upon, and see its sure reflection everywhere.

If you feel the Love of God within you, you will look out on a world of mercy and of love. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 189, W-pI.189.1;3:1,5;4;5:5. See also ACIM Lesson 189 Insights.)

What kind of world are we seeing? If we are seeing a world of danger, conflict and guilt, we are seeing the projection of our unforgiving mind. Only a mind convinced that separation is real could see such a world. The fact that we see this world is our own call for forgiveness. It reflects our yearning to remember the eternal Love of our true Self.

If we answer this call with forgiveness of the belief that we are separate and alone, apart from Love, we open to our true Mind, one with the Mind of Love. The specific need for forgiveness reflected in our perception can be the focus of our forgiveness.

The practice of bringing that perception to the Holy Spirit, with willingness to receive His perception in place of ours, brings healing to our mind. This practice leads to full forgiveness of our belief in separation. It leads to acceptance of the reality of Love’s innocence and peace that our true Self shares with God. We want to see the world of mercy and of Love, so we dedicate today to this practice.
