The Gifts of Forgiveness

Open your eyes today and look upon a happy world of safety and of peace. Forgiveness is the means by which it comes to take the place of hell. In quietness it rises up to greet your open eyes, and fill your heart with deep tranquility as ancient truths, forever newly born, arise in your awareness. What you will remember then can never be described. Yet your forgiveness offers it to you.

Today it will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness offers, and the joy the lifting of the veil holds out to you. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 122, W-pI.122.8;11:2. See also ACIM Lesson 122 Insights.)

To forgive the world we need to shift our attention from what the body’s eyes show us to the vision of the Holy Spirit. This is a shift from external “seeing” to inner vision in our minds. It is a shift from being ego directed to being guided by the Holy Spirit. As we take each of our perceptions in the world to the Holy Spirit with willingness to receive His vision, we learn to let go of belief in false images and accept the unity of Love that joins us with all that is real. This is true forgiveness.

As we open to true forgiveness, the Light of Love, which is ever present, shines through the fading shadows of the ego’s false images. This Light brings with It peace and happiness that are beyond words to describe. Our experience of the world shifts from pervading fear and guilt to a happy world of safety and of peace.
