Letting Forgiveness Take Us Home to Love

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.)

The world we see is a reflection of our projections of what we believe we are. When we forgive our mistaken belief that we are a separate identity, the world we perceive changes. Thus forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves.

We want to be happy. Each time we forgive a perception of differences, we let the Light we are dispel a barrier that has hidden the presence of Love. We take another step toward awakening to the Love in which we live. Forgiveness is the way Home.
