This is the lesson God would have you learn: There is a way to look on everything that lets it be to you another step to Him, and to salvation of the world. To all that speaks of terror, answer thus:
I will forgive, and this will disappear.
To every apprehension, every care and every form of suffering, repeat these selfsame words. And then you hold the key that opens Heaven’s gate, and brings the Love of God the Father down to earth at last, to raise it up to Heaven. God will take this final step Himself. Do not deny the little steps He asks you take to Him.” (A Course in Miracles W-pI.193.13)
Today we were reminded of the verse from the 23rd Psalm: “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil. For God (Love) is with me.” The shadow of death is simply the ego thought system of being separate from God. When we remember that we always walk with God, there is truly nothing to fear.
The way to remember we are in God is through forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of belief in being separate from God. Forgiveness clears away the seeming barriers that interfere with our awareness that we remain as God created us, safe in His Love and filled with His joy. This is how we heal. This is how we remember there is nothing our holiness cannot do. This is how all distress, apprehension and suffering disappear.
Today is a day devoted to forgiveness, or letting go of our belief that we could ever be separate from our Source.
