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. (W-46.1:3–2:5;4:4;5:3,5-6;6:3-6)
Love does not condemn. A thought of judgment must therefore not be a thought of Love. Judgment denies Love. It is a construct of the thought of separation which is impossible in the oneness of Love.
Love is the basis of all forgiveness. When we forgive, the Light of Love brightens our mind. We see the world in Its Light, which dispels the darkness of judgment.
Today we choose Love as our guiding Light, for we would see the world that God sees. Thus we will remember we remain one with Him in perfect holiness.
