Here is the answer! Would you stand outside while all of Heaven waits for you within? Forgive and be forgiven. As you give you will receive. There is no plan but this for the salvation of the Son of God.
Open your eyes today and look upon a happy world of safety and of peace. Forgiveness is the means by which [a happy world] comes to take the place of hell. In quietness it rises up to greet your open eyes, and fill your heart with deep tranquility as ancient truths, forever newly born, arise in your awareness. What you will remember then can never be described. Yet your forgiveness offers it to you.
Forgiveness offers everything I want.
Today I have accepted this as true.
Today I have received the gifts of God.(A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 122, W-pI.122.5:1-6:6;8;14:3-5. See also ACIM Lesson 122 Insights.)
God’s Love is our Home. We already have all of His Love. Forgiveness clears the barriers we have made in our mind against the awareness of Love’s presence.
We give the gift of forgiveness by accepting Holy Spirit’s help to reinterpret our perceptions of guilt and fear. We cannot forgive while we believe our mistaken perceptions are true. Forgiveness is the Holy Spirit’s gift to us when we are willing to set aside our judgments; when we are willing to remember that we do not know what anything means.
We receive of the gift of a happy world when we accept Holy Spirit’s help. We receive this gift by joining with the Holy Spirit’s vision of innocence, seen in every brother.
