Where could your peace arise but from forgiveness? The Christ in you looks only on the truth, and sees no condemnation that could need forgiveness. He is at peace because He sees no sin. Identify with Him, and what has He that you have not? He is your eyes, your ears, your hands, your feet. How gentle are the sights He sees, the sounds He hears. How beautiful His hand that holds His brother’s, and how lovingly He walks beside him, showing him what can be seen and heard, and where he will see nothing and there is no sound to hear. (A Course in Miracles, T-24.V.3. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
If we want to be at peace, we need to see the world through our inner vision, the vision of Christ. This vision is available to us through forgiveness, because Christ, our true Self, looks only on innocence. The body and all its senses can never show us justification for forgiveness, because it can only show images of separation.
We need to redirect our attention to the inner vision that overlooks the world of separate forms. This inner vision shows the unity of Love that joins us all as one in Love. In this unity, harm is impossible. There can be no judgment, no condemnation. The unity of Love will always show us Love reflected back to us.
Today our practice is to bring our perceptions in the world to the inner vision of Christ with willingness to see the Love that is eternally present. With that vision, forgiveness is automatic, for there is no condemnation. As our willingness to accept this vision grows, we experience deepening peace. And we give thanks.
