Today we try to understand the truth that giver and receiver are the same. You will need help to make this meaningful, because it is so alien to the thoughts to which you are accustomed. But the Help you need is there. Give Him your faith today, and ask Him that He share your practicing in truth today.”
“…seek sanctuary in the quiet place where thoughts are changed and false beliefs laid by. Repeat [“All that I give is given to myself”], and ask for help in understanding what it really means. Be willing to be taught. Be glad to hear the Voice of truth and healing speak to you, and you will understand the words He speaks, and recognize He speaks your words to you.”
“Do not let your mind forget this goal for long, but tell yourself:
All that I give is given to myself. The Help I need to learn
that this is true is with me now. And I will trust in Him.Then spend a quiet moment, opening your mind to His correction and His Love. And what you hear of Him you will believe, for what He gives will be received by you. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 126, W-pI.126.8:1-4;10:1-4;11:2-7. See also ACIM Lesson 126 Insights.)
When we see or think of someone we love, our hearts are filled with joy and we reach out to them with a warm embrace. This is but a tiny taste of how our Creator feels about us, who He knows are one with Him.
When we offer the gift of true forgiveness to a brother, we remove the barrier to the experience of the same Love and joy that our Creator feels about us. Forgiveness dissolves the illusion of division so that we can see the truth that we are indeed one with every brother. With that clear vision of the Holy Spirit, we naturally offer love and joy to our brother and simultaneously experience it in ourselves. We experience the gift we give.
