Forgiveness is the only gift I give.
Forgiveness is the only gift I give, because it is the only gift I want. ²And everything I give I give myself. ³This is salvation’s simple formula. ⁴And I, who would be saved, would make it mine, to be the way I live within a world that needs salvation, and that will be saved as I accept Atonement for myself.
Father, how certain are Your ways; how sure their final outcome, and how faithfully is every step in my salvation set already, and accomplished by Your grace. ²Thanks be to You for Your eternal gifts, and thanks to You for my Identity. (A Course in Miracles, W-297. See also ACIM Lesson 297 Insights.)
It is important to the ego to see everything in the world as separate from ourselves. That is how it seems that we are without God’s Love and vulnerable to outside forces beyond our control. This separation also provides outside targets to project our guilt upon for denying out Identity as God’s Son.
But this dream of separation has no effect on the reality that remain one with God. He has shared all that He is with the one Self we share with everyone. The fact that our Identity is the one Son of God is why everything we give is given to our Self. We accept this fact by forgiving the wish for specialness and let go of all judgments. We practice this today.
