²It is God’s Will your mind be one with His. ³It is God’s Will that He has but one Son. ⁴It is God’s Will that His one Son is you. ⁵Think of these things in practicing today, and start the lesson that we learn today with this instruction in the way of truth:
⁶Salvation is my only function here.
⁷Salvation and forgiveness are the same.⁸Then turn to Him Who shares your function here, and let Him teach you what you need to learn to lay all fear aside, and know your Self as Love which has no opposite in you.
Forgive all thoughts which would oppose the truth of your completion, unity and peace. ²You cannot lose the gifts your Father gave. ³You do not want to be another self. ⁴You have no function that is not of God. ⁵Forgive yourself the one you think you made. ⁶Forgiveness and salvation are the same. ⁷Forgive what you have made and you are saved.
⁴Salvation is my only function here.
⁵Thus do you lay forgiveness on your mind and let all fear be gently laid aside, that love may find its rightful place in you and show you that you are the Son of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-99.9:2–10:7;12:4-5. See also ACIM Lesson 99 Insights.)
Again and again, in many ways, the Course reminds us Who we are. We are God’s one Son, united in His oneness. We are not a body. We are Love and nothing else.
We have made up a false self image. The price we have paid for identifying with this image is a sense of lack of Love. This lack is not true because this false image is simply a veil that hides the Love we are from our awareness.
All the stories we believe about our existence in the world are not true. We are still Love and nothing else. To remember this, we need to forgive the stories—let them go. Forgiveness saves us from the sense of loss of Love that has left us feeling empty, alone, fearful and guilty.
Forgiveness is our only function here. This is how we will remember we are God’s Son—Love and nothing else.
