To overcome the world is no more difficult than to surmount your little wall. ²For in the miracle of your holy relationship, without this barrier, is every miracle contained. ³There is no order of difficulty in miracles, for they are all the same. ⁴Each is a gentle winning over from the appeal of guilt to the appeal of love. ⁵How can this fail to be accomplished, wherever it is undertaken? ⁶Guilt can raise no real barriers against [the appeal of Love]. ⁷And all that seems to stand between you and your brother must fall away because of the appeal you answered. …⁹His home is in your holy relationship. ¹⁰Do not attempt to stand between Him and His holy purpose, for it is yours. ¹¹But let Him quietly extend the miracle of your relationship to everyone contained in it as it was given.
There is a hush in Heaven, a happy expectancy, a little pause of gladness in acknowledgment of the journey’s end. ²For Heaven knows you well, as you know Heaven. ³No illusions stand between you and your brother now. ⁴Look not upon the little wall of shadows. ⁵The sun has risen over it. ⁶How can a shadow keep you from the sun? ⁷No more can you be kept by shadows from the light in which illusions end. ⁸Every miracle is but the end of an illusion. ⁹Such was the journey; such its ending. ¹⁰And in the goal of truth which you accepted must all illusions end. (A Course in Miracles, T-19.IV-A.5:1-7,9-11;6. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
Love calls to us unceasingly. Our unwillingness to answer Its call is the cause of our loneliness, sadness, fear and guilt. Whenever we experience these emotions, we are being reminded of the Love we have been unwilling to accept.
Forgiveness is the means to let go of our unwillingness. Forgiveness lets go of our barriers to Love. We forgive by being willing to accept the Holy Spirit’s help to see the world anew. His vision shows us the Love we have hidden behind our unwillingness, our pursuit of specialness.
We have surely seen that specialness offers no lasting peace nor happiness. Now, today, this moment, we have the opportunity to accept the Holy Spirit’s help. This acceptance clears away the shadows of our unwillingness. It welcomes the Light of Love which is ever present. We live and have our being in Love. We can accept It now.
