You are as God created you. Today honor your Self. Let graven images you made to be the Son of God instead of what he is be worshipped not today. Deep in your mind the holy Christ in you is waiting your acknowledgment as you. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.110.9:1-4)
It certainly doesn’t seem that there is a holy Christ in us that is actually What we are. But that is because we are identifying with an image of what we are that is a false idol. This image is actually a defense against accepting the holy Christ in us.
The Course is giving us a way to disconnect from this false idol so that we can open our hearts and minds and acknowledge our Self that is the Christ. This is what forgiveness does.
Letting go of the past, forgiving all grievances, and letting go of judgment are the means to clear away the barriers to the recognition that we remain as God created us — Love and nothing else.
We dedicate this day to reminding ourselves frequently that we are as God created us, united in the one Love of God. It does not matter if we wholeheartedly believe this or not. The frequent reminders will help us open to the truth. That is all we really want.
