Accepting the Eternal Gift of Love

All gifts I give my brothers are my own.

As every gift my brothers give is mine, so every gift I give belongs to me. ²Each one allows a past mistake to go, and leave no shadow on the holy mind my Father loves. ³His grace is given me in every gift a brother has received throughout all time, and past all time as well. ⁴My treasure house is full, and angels watch its open doors that not one gift is lost, and only more are added. ⁵Let me come to where my treasures are, and enter in where I am truly welcome and at home, among the gifts that God has given me.

Father, I would accept Your gifts today. ²I do not recognize them. ³Yet I trust that You Who gave them will provide the means by which I can behold them, see their worth, and cherish only them as what I want. (A Course in Miracles, W-316. See also ACIM Lesson 316 Insights.)

When we forgive someone, the ego tells us we are giving them a gift. But we are actually setting ourselves free from being the prison warden to hold the person of the guilt the ego believes they deserve. The ego’s judgments are always based on illusions, which are meaningless because they are not real.

Today we ask the Holy Spirit to help us give the gift of forgiveness to all our brothers. We want to be free of judgment so we can accept the gift of Love that has been given us for eternity.
