Love holds no grievances.
²Grievances are completely alien to love. ³Grievances attack love and keep its light obscure. ⁴If I hold grievances I am attacking love, and therefore attacking my Self. ⁵My Self thus becomes alien to me. ⁶I am determined not to attack my Self today, so that I can remember Who I am.
These specific forms for applying this idea would be helpful:
²This is no justification for denying my Self.
³I will not use this to attack love.
⁴Let this not tempt me to attack myself. (A Course in Miracles, W-84.3:1–4:4. See also ACIM Lesson 84 Insights.)
Consider some of the many forms of grievances—frustration, impatience, sadness, irritation, guilt, fear, loneliness—are a few. The dream of separation is itself a grievance against the oneness of Love. Our habit of holding grievances needs to be undone if we want to experience the joy and peace that is the eternal condition of our true Self.
There is nothing we need do to qualify for God’s Love. But we do need to undo our grievances that block our awareness of His gift. That is why forgiveness is our only meaningful purpose in this world. It undoes the barriers that hide the Light of Love from our awareness.
Today we will be vigilant to bring every sigh of impatience, every form of grievance to the Holy Spirit for His help to let them go. We want to remember the Love we are. We want to experience the joy that comes with joining with the Love in every brother. We want to accept the gift of Love God has given His one Son. With the Holy Spirit’s help, we will be messenger’s of Love today.
