…forgiveness is the means by which I will recognize my innocence. It is the reflection of God’s Love on earth.
It is not my own strength through which I forgive. It is through the strength of God in me, which I am remembering as I forgive.
God’s Voice speaks to me all through the day.
There is not a moment in which God’s Voice ceases to call on my forgiveness to save me. There is not a moment in which His Voice fails to direct my thoughts, guide my actions and lead my feet. I am walking steadily on toward truth. There is nowhere else I can go, because God’s Voice is the only Voice and the only Guide that has been given to His Son.
I am sustained by the Love of God.
As I listen to God’s Voice, I am sustained by His Love. As I open my eyes, His Love lights up the world for me to see. As I forgive, His Love reminds me that His Son is sinless. And as I look upon the world with the vision He has given me, I remember that I am His Son. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 60, W-pI.60.1:2-3;2:2-3;4-5. See also ACIM Lesson 60 Insights.)
The ego is the denial of God’s Love and strength. While we identify with the ego, true forgiveness is impossible because we are believing we are weak. Yet God gave all His strength to His Son in His creation. His strength is already ours. We can call on His strength in us to help us forgive, to overlook the ego’s image-making.
We cannot do this while we give credence to what the body perceives. The body is the ego’s chief tool for deception. But we have within our mind the ability to see the truth. Christ’s vision shows us the presence of Love that is everywhere to be seen. When we prefer His vision over the image-making of the ego, the vision of Love supersedes the ego’s fear and weakness.
Today we ask the Holy Spirit to heal our mind of the ego’s fearful thoughts and welcome the strength of God in us. Thus will we remember the reality of Love in which we live.
