Forgiveness recognizes what you thought your brother did to you has not occurred. It does not pardon sins and make them real. It sees there was no sin. And in that view are all your sins forgiven. What is sin, except a false idea about God’s Son? Forgiveness merely sees its falsity, and therefore lets it go. What then is free to take its place is now the Will of God.
An unforgiving thought is one which makes a judgment that it will not raise to doubt, although it is not true.”
Forgiveness, on the other hand, is still, and quietly does nothing. …It merely looks, and waits, and judges not. He who would not forgive must judge, for he must justify his failure to forgive. But he who would forgive himself must learn to welcome truth exactly as it is.
Do nothing, then, and let forgiveness show you what to do, through Him Who is your Guide, your Savior and Protector, strong in hope, and certain of your ultimate success. (A Course in Miracles Workbook, Part II, What is forgiveness?, W-pII.1.1:1-2:1;4:1,3-5;5:1. See also ACIM Lesson 221 Insights.)
Today we ask for the truth… Today we open to the awareness of Love’s presence… We open to the awareness that nothing could every really happen to change God’s one Son…
We open to the awareness that only Love is real… We open to our Creator’s gentleness, kindness and everlasting peace… We open to the awareness that God, Which is pure Love, is changeless and eternal…
We are filled with gratitude that we are safe forever in the loving Mind of God… And we give thanks that this and only this is Reality.
