Think what it means to help the Christ to heal! Can anything be holier than this? God thanks His healers, for He knows the Cause of healing is Himself, His Love, His Son, restored as His completion and returned to share with Him creation’s holy joy. Do not ask partial healing, nor accept an idol for rememberance of Him Whose Love has never changed and never will. You are as dear to Him as is the whole of His creation, for [His creation] lies in you as His eternal gift. What need have you for shifting dreams within a sorry world? Do not forget the gratitude of God. Do not forget the holy grace of prayer. Do not forget forgiveness of God’s Son. (A Course in Miracles, S-3.IV.3)
Think about the gratitude you feel when you extend Love to another and that Love is accepted and reflected back to you. You may say, “It warms my heart.” This feeling is but a tiny inkling of the gratitude God feels when we accept His Love by extending It.
Forgiveness removes the barriers to extending Love. God is grateful when we forgive, for attempts to limit Love have been removed. God is grateful when we join with His Love in prayer, for this is the holy communion of Love with Itself.
Forgiveness, prayer and gratitude are intertwined as we seek to awaken to the Love that we are. For they all work together to remove the barriers to Love’s presence. They lead to our acceptance of God’s gift of Himself. They awaken us to Love.
