God is the only goal I have today.
The way to God is through forgiveness here. ²There is no other way. ³If sin had not been cherished by the mind, what need would there have been to find the way to where you are? ⁴Who would still be uncertain? ⁵Who could be unsure of who he is? ⁶And who would yet remain asleep, in heavy clouds of doubt about the holiness of him whom God created sinless? ⁷Here we can but dream. ⁸But we can dream we have forgiven him in whom all sin remains impossible, and it is this we choose to dream today. ⁹God is our goal; forgiveness is the means by which our minds return to Him at last.
And so, our Father, would we come to You in Your appointed way. ²We have no goal except to hear Your Voice, and find the way Your sacred Word has pointed out to us. (A Course in Miracles, W-256. See also ACIM Lesson 256 Insights.)
Today and every day offers opportunities to heal. The only question is whether or not we will accept the opportunity. If we are following the ego’s plan, we will overlook the opportunities. Instead our thoughts and actions will reinforce our sense of lack of Love. This misperception is the basis for all illness.
Every apprehension, sadness, fear, guilt or anger stems from the wish not to accept the all-inclusive oneness of God’s Love. But these misperceptions can be recognized as a sign of our need to forgive. If that recognition is followed by a willingness to accept the Holy Spirit’s help, we can seize the opportunity to heal. The opportunity to give ourselves the gift of healing is offered in every instant.
Today we can join in a shared commitment to seize the opportunities to bring healing to the world. We choose to forgive and remember we are Love and nothing else.
