Forgiveness Recognizes Innocence

My holiness envelops everything I see. From my holiness does the perception of the real world come. Having forgiven, I no longer see myself as guilty. I can accept the innocence that is the truth about me. Seen through understanding eyes, the holiness of the world is all I see, for I can picture only the thoughts I hold about myself.

And what are all illusions except false ideas about myself? My holiness undoes them all by asserting the truth about me. In the presence of my holiness, which I share with God Himself, all idols vanish.

I cannot suffer any loss or deprivation or pain because of Who I am. My Father supports me, protects me, and directs me in all things. His care for me is infinite, and is with me forever. I am eternally blessed as His Son. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 58, W-pI.58.1;3:4-6;5:5-7. See also ACIM Lesson 58 Insights.)

We are holy because we share the oneness of God. God is our completion as we, His one Son, complete Him. There is no separation or difference between What we are and What God Is. All His Love, His peace, His joy is ours.

We do not experience ourselves as holy because we have accepted the ego thought system of separation. Separation is demonstrated by illusions of isolation, differences, loss and deprivation. This appears to be the world we live in only because we have accepted separation as real. This belief makes our holiness invisible to us. As we learn to forgive this belief, the veil of separation fades and the Light of our holiness shines through. This Light shines away the illusions that portray our belief in separation.

Forgiveness welcomes the truth of What we are. Forgiveness accepts our holiness. As we forgive, the Love that we are fills our heart and joins with the Love that is everyone. Love is innocent and sees only innocence. Love is holy and sees only holiness. This is how we bring salvation to the world.
