God is the Love in which I forgive.
³Forgiveness is the great need of this world, but that is because it is a world of illusions. ⁴Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves from illusions, while those who withhold forgiveness are binding themselves to them. ⁵As you condemn only yourself, so do you forgive only yourself.
Yet although God does not forgive, His Love is nevertheless the basis of forgiveness. ²Fear condemns and love forgives. ³Forgiveness thus undoes what fear has produced, returning the mind to the awareness of God. ⁴For this reason, forgiveness can truly be called salvation. ⁵It is the means by which illusions disappear.
⁴God is the Love in which I forgive you, [name].
³God is the Love in which I forgive myself.
⁵God is the Love with which I love myself.
⁶God is the Love in which I am blessed.³I cannot be guilty because I am a Son of God.
⁴I have already been forgiven.
⁵No fear is possible in a mind beloved of God.
⁶There is no need to attack because love has forgiven me. (A Course in Miracles, W-46.1:3–2:5;4:4;5:3,5-6;6:3-6. See also ACIM Lesson 46 Insights.)
Today we can remember God. Forgiveness clears away the veil which we have interposed between our separated mind and the Mind of God. His Love has been and always will be with us and in us. Only our judgment stands between our mind and the Mind of God.
God does not condemn. But we condemn ourselves when we believe we are limited to a body and believe our brothers are bodies. Love cannot be limited to any form. Today let us resolve to let the Holy Spirit help us look past forms to the presence of Love everywhere. This is how we remember God and our true Self.
