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.)
Grievances take many forms. At their core they are a grievance against God because He could not grant us the specialness the ego demands and remain Himself. The body is the primary symbol of the ego’s grievance against God. By making a dream of individual bodies, the ego made a world of uniqueness and differences. This could only seem to occur in a dream because differences are impossible in the oneness of God’s Love.
Our release from grievances comes with forgiveness. Grievances always depend upon perceiving differences. As we forgive these perceptions with the Holy Spirit’s help, Love comes forth. The Love we are is then allowed to join with the Love in which we live. This Love includes every brother as we recognize we share one Self, God’s Son.
Today we dedicate to letting the Holy Spirit help us heal our grievances that seem to separate us from our Father.
