God is the Love in which I forgive.
²God does not forgive because He has never condemned. ³The blameless cannot blame, and those who have accepted their innocence see nothing to forgive. ⁴Yet forgiveness is the means by which I will recognize my innocence. ⁵It is the reflection of God’s Love on earth. ⁶It will bring me near enough to Heaven that the Love of God can reach down to me and raise me up to Him.
God is the strength in which I trust.
²It is not my own strength through which I forgive. ³It is through the strength of God in me, which I am remembering as I forgive. ⁴As I begin to see, I recognize His reflection on earth. ⁵I forgive all things because I feel the stirring of His strength in me. ⁶And I begin to remember the Love I chose to forget, but which has not forgotten me.
There is nothing to fear.
²How safe the world will look to me when I can [truly] see it! ³It will not look anything like what I imagine I see now. ⁴Everyone and everything I see will lean toward me to bless me. ⁵I will recognize in everyone my dearest Friend. ⁶What could there be to fear in a world that I have forgiven, and that has forgiven me? (A Course in Miracles, W-60.1–3. See also ACIM Lesson 60 Insights.)
It is possible to see God’s reflection on earth. But we will not see it while we prefer to identify with the ego. Forgiveness is Love’s reflection in the world the ego made. The strength of God supports our forgiveness when we are willing to accept His help. He gave us His Teacher to lovingly guide us to true perception that overlooks the ego’s false images to see the unity of Love. Our forgiveness awakens us to remember the Love we are and the Love that created us one with Itself.
Today we remind ourselves that God’s strength supports our forgiveness. As we remember we awaken to the Love we are. We recognize our brothers as our dearest Friends, for we are eternally united with them in God’s Love.
