Forgiveness is the home of miracles. The eyes of Christ deliver them to all they look upon in mercy and in love. Perception stands corrected in His sight, and what was meant to curse has come to bless. Each lily of forgiveness offers all the world the silent miracle of love.
The miracle is taken first on faith, because to ask for it implies the mind has been made ready to conceive of what it cannot see and does not understand. Yet faith will bring its witnesses to show that what it rested on is really there. And thus the miracle will justify your faith in it, and show it rested on a world more real than what you saw before; a world redeemed from what you thought was there. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 1, W-pII.13.3:1-4;4. See also ACIM Lesson 341 Insights.)
Ego-directed perception will always show us lies, illusions that hide the truth. But we have an alternate Guide that offers true perception. We can call upon Christ’s vision, which will show us the presence of Love beyond the masks of differences and separation in the world. Love may seem hidden but It has never left the world because only Love is real. Love is everywhere, without limit.
Do we want to see a world of hate and fear? Or do we want to see a world where Love prevails, our unity with every brother is recognized and our mind is at peace? Do we want to continue with the ego’s quest for specialness and separation? Or do we want to remember the certainty of our Home in changeless Love where we share God’s joy and peace. In every moment we make this choice. When we choose Christ’s vision, we are accepting the Love of our true Self.
Today we offer our perceptions to the Holy Spirit to be exchanged for Christ’s vision. We want to awaken to Love. We want the peace of God. We want to be truly happy, at Home in Heaven.
