Finding Lasting Happiness

It is your forgiveness that will bring the world of darkness to the light. ²It is your forgiveness that lets you recognize the light in which you see. ³Forgiveness is the demonstration that you are the light of the world. ⁴Through your forgiveness does the truth about yourself return to your memory. ⁵Therefore, in your forgiveness lies your salvation.

Illusions about yourself and the world are one. ²That is why all forgiveness is a gift to yourself. ³Your goal is to find out who you are, having denied your Identity by attacking creation and its Creator. ⁴Now you are learning how to remember the truth. ⁵For this attack must be replaced by forgiveness, so that thoughts of life may replace thoughts of death.

Remember that in every attack you call upon your own weakness, while each time you forgive you call upon the strength of Christ in you. ²Do you not then begin to understand what forgiveness will do for you? ³It will remove all sense of weakness, strain and fatigue from your mind. ⁴It will take away all fear and guilt and pain. ⁵It will restore the invulnerability and power God gave His Son to your awareness.

²Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world.
³I would fulfill my function that I may be happy. (A Course in Miracles, W-62.1:1–3:5;5:2-3. See also ACIM Lesson 62 Insights.)

It does not seem that we attack our Creator. But we see ourselves as vulnerable, inadequate, unhappy and lacking Love. What can this be but an attack on our Creator’s gift of all of His strength, joy and eternal Love?

We need to forgive the alternate identity we have given ourselves. As we let go of this false identity with the Holy Spirit’s help, we let the gifts of God’s strength and Love return to our awareness. We find the lasting happiness that has seemed to elude us.
