…[God] wills the happiness His Son inherited of Him be undisturbed; eternal and forever gaining scope, eternally expanding in the joy of full creation, and eternally open and wholly limitless in Him.
⁴God does not perceive at all. ⁵Yet it is He Who gives the means by which perception is made true and beautiful enough to let the light of Heaven shine upon it.
These are the lessons God would have you learn. …⁵They are the same in fundamental content. ⁶It is this:
⁷Forgive, and you will see this differently.
Certain it is that all distress does not appear to be but unforgiveness. ²Yet that is the content underneath the form.
This is the lesson God would have you learn: There is a way to look on everything that lets it be to you another step to Him, and to salvation of the world. ²To all that speaks of terror, answer thus:
³I will forgive, and this will disappear.
⁴To every apprehension, every care and every form of suffering, repeat these selfsame words. ⁵And then you hold the key that opens Heaven’s gate, and brings the Love of God the Father down to earth at last, to raise it up to Heaven. (A Course in Miracles, W-193.1:2;2:4-5;3:1,5-7;4:1-2;13:1-5. See also ACIM Lesson 193 Insights.)
Forgiveness is the way we change our mind about the world. Each time we forgive a mistaken belief, our experience of the world changes. Stress diminishes. We experience less depression and more happiness. More and more we recognize the gifts of opportunities to heal our brothers offer us every day. We are on a path of return to awareness that we are Love and nothing else; created by Love and forever united with It.
Today we will be offered many gifts. Will we recognize them? If we choose to let the Holy Spirit guide our vision, we will accept many treasures today that lead us Home.
