Today we offer thanks that Christ has come to search the world for what belongs to Him. His vision sees no strangers, but beholds His Own and joyously unites with them. They see Him as a stranger, for they do not recognize themselves. Yet as they give Him welcome, they remember. And He leads them gently home again, where they belong.
Not one does Christ forget. Not one He fails to give you to remember, that your home may be complete and perfect as it was established. He has not forgotten you. But you will not remember Him until you look on all as He does. Who denies his brother is denying Him, and thus refusing to accept the gift of sight by which his Self is clearly recognized, his home remembered and salvation come. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 160, W-pI.160.9-10. See also ACIM Lesson 160 Insights.)
Christ sees everyone as His brother, at one with Him. This is another way of saying Love sees only Love. Our one Self sees only the one Self we share with all. Our true function is to share this vision. But we cannot see this unity if we see anyone as different from us. That is why we must forgive.
With the help of the Holy Spirit, forgiveness sees past the appearance of differences to the one Self we all share. With each perception of differences, our only function is to practice reminding ourselves that we desire to see past the appearance to the Love that is true. Today we would rise above to see the Love that is our Self. That is our function.
