Judgment and love are opposites. From one come all the sorrows of the world. But from the other comes the peace of God Himself.
Forgiveness looks on sinlessness alone, and judges not. ²Through this I come to You. ³Judgment will bind my eyes and make me blind. ⁴Yet love, reflected in forgiveness here, reminds me You have given me a way to find Your peace again. ⁵I am redeemed when I elect to follow in this way. ⁶You have not left me comfortless. ⁷I have within me both the memory of You, and One Who leads me to it. ⁸Father, I would hear Your Voice and find Your peace today. ⁹For I would love my own Identity, and find in It the memory of You. (A Course in Miracles, W-352. See also ACIM Lesson 352 Insights.)
The ego is the denial of Love so it judges everything as different and separate from itself. It does not recognize our true Self because its judgment denies its Presence. We are not the ego, but if we identify with it, we cannot recognize the Love we are.
This is why forgiveness is the key to our salvation. It frees us of the judgment that blinds us to the awareness of Love. God has given us His Voice to guide us to true forgiveness. His Voice helps us let go of judgments to see the presence of Love beyond the ego’s images.
Today we will be mindful of our judgments and welcome the Holy Spirit’s guidance to let them go. Thus will we remember we are one with all in God’s Love.
