This instant is the only time there is.
“I have conceived of time in such a way that I defeat my aim. ²If I elect to reach past time to timelessness, I must change my perception of what time is for. ³Time’s purpose cannot be to keep the past and future one. ⁴The only interval in which I can be saved from time is now. ⁵For in this instant has forgiveness come to set me free. ⁶The birth of Christ is now, without a past or future. ⁷He has come to give His present blessing to the world, restoring it to timelessness and love. ⁸And love is ever-present, here and now.”
Thanks for this instant, Father. ²It is now I am redeemed. ³This instant is the time You have appointed for Your Son’s release, and for salvation of the world in him. (A Course in Miracles, W-308. See also ACIM Lesson 308 Insights.)
The ego believes that past learning is essential to its survival. This seems to be true in the ego’s dream of the world. Without “memories” of the past, the ego would seem to cease to seem to exist. When the past is forgiven and let go, only the present remains. Without the past clouding our mind, we know that we are Love, eternally united in the present with our Creator. This is why forgiveness is the key to our salvation. Forgiveness frees us from dreams of fear and anger, retribution and loss.
Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive the past and all its dark thoughts. We want to remember the Love we have always been and will remain through all eternity.
