I let forgiveness rest upon all things, for thus forgiveness will be given me.
I thank You, Father, for Your plan to save me from the hell I made. ²It is not real. ³And You have given me the means to prove its unreality to me. ⁴The key is in my hand, and I have reached the door beyond which lies the end of dreams. ⁵I stand before the gate of Heaven, wondering if I should enter in and be at home. ⁶Let me not wait again today. ⁷Let me forgive all things, and let creation be as You would have it be and as it is. ⁸Let me remember that I am Your Son, and opening the door at last, forget illusions in the blazing light of truth, as memory of You returns to me.
Brother, forgive me now. ²I come to you to take you home with me. ³And as we go, the world goes with us on our way to God. (A Course in Miracles, W-342. See also ACIM Lesson 342 Insights.)
Forgiveness is the key to happiness and peace. This is the core message of the Course. Forgiveness does not deny anything real in order to forgive. It simply recognizes illusions for what they are. Illusions recognized are set aside as not worthy of our belief. Illusions have no real consequences.
Our allegiance to the ego has left us confused about what is real and what is illusion. But we have a Helper in our mind Whose mission is to teach us to recognize illusion and see past it to the truth. We can trust this Helper, for He was given to us by God with the mission to set us free from our self-made hell of fear and guilt.
Today we ask for and accept the Holy Spirit’s help to recognize the unreality of illusions of separation. This is the path that sets us free to know that we, along with every brother, are one in Love eternally. Forgiveness the a gift we give ourselves.
