⁷Your gratitude is due to Him alone Who made all cause of sorrow disappear throughout the world.
…Who offers you the certain means whereby all pain is healed, and suffering replaced with laughter and with happiness.
Walk, then, in gratitude the way of love. ²For hatred is forgotten when we lay comparisons aside. ³What more remains as obstacles to peace? ⁴The fear of God is now undone at last, and we forgive without comparing. ⁵Thus we cannot choose to overlook some things, and yet retain some other things still locked away as “sins.” ⁶When your forgiveness is complete you will have total gratitude, for you will see that everything has earned the right to love by being loving, even as your Self.
Our gratitude will pave the way to Him, and shorten our learning time by more than you could ever dream of. ²Gratitude goes hand in hand with love, and where one is the other must be found. ³For gratitude is but an aspect of the Love which is the Source of all creation. (A Course in Miracles, W-195.1:7;2:2;8;10:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 195 Insights.)
Only when differences are believed to be real are comparisons justified. But in Love’s oneness, there are no differences. Love does not compare nor judge. It sees only Itself everywhere. This is what our true Self knows.
Our function in this world is to let go of our belief in differences. As we let the Holy Spirit show us the consistency of Love that is always behind appearances of differences, we forgive the world for all we thought it was.
Today we are willing to bring our perceptions to the Holy Spirit for His loving correction. We want to remember the oneness of Love in which we live.
