Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.
Let me realize today that the problem is always some form of grievance that I would cherish. Let me also understand that the solution is always a miracle with which I let the grievance be replaced. Today I would remember the simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the lesson that there is one problem and one solution. The problem is a grievance; the solution is a miracle. And I invite the solution to come to me through my forgiveness of the grievance, and my welcome of the miracle that takes its place.
Specific applications of this idea might be in these forms:
This presents a problem to me which I would have resolved.
The miracle behind this grievance will resolve it for me.
The answer to this problem is the miracle that it conceals. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 90, W-pI.90.1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 90 Insights.)
Everything we see in the world is some kind of form. The physical forms we define by shape, size, color and distance. We also define psychological characteristics by attitudes, likes and dislikes and emotions. All these definitions make everything different. These differences represent the ego’s grievance against the oneness of God’s Love. Love does not judge nor condemn. It sees only Itself everywhere. The safety of our true Self lies in this oneness. Without differences, change or harm, are impossible.
Our only problem comes from aligning with the ego’s wish for specialness, differences. The ego’s core grievance against God is that He could not grant specialness or differences and remain the oneness of Love. When we accept the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive our grievance, represented by the perceived problem, the oneness of Love is welcome. The problem of differences dissolves in the presence of Love’s Light.
Today we choose to accept the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive our judgments, our grievances and let Him light our way back to God.
