Freedom Through Forgiveness

Your Son is free, my Father. Let me not imagine I have bound him with the laws I made to rule the body. He is not subject to any laws I made by which I try to make the body more secure. He is not changed by what is changeable. He is not slave to any laws of time. He is as You created him, because he knows no law except the law of love.

“=Let us not worship idols, nor believe in any law idolatry would make to hide the freedom of the Son of God. He is not bound except by his beliefs. Yet what he is, is far beyond his faith in slavery or freedom. He is free because he is his Father’s Son. And he cannot be bound unless God’s truth can lie, and God can will that He deceive Himself. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 277, W-pII.277. See also ACIM Lesson 277 Insights.)

The body is an idol made by the ego as a substitute for God’s Son. When we believe we are a body, bound by its limits, are are worshipping an idol. Our belief in this idol makes it seem that we are bound by the ego’s laws for what the body is — a separate identity, limited in space by its reach and in time to change until it ultimately dies.

But our true Self is the Son of God. It lives forever in the changeless Love of God. This is our Reality. All we need do is stop believing we are a limited being, separate from our Source. Forgiveness is the means to release our self-imposed limitations is to let the Holy Spirit help us let go of our mistaken beliefs. As we turn to Him to receive His vision in place of our perceptions, we awaken to the peace and joy of our home in Love. Holy Spirit, help me see with Your vision.
