Behold your Friend, the Christ Who stands beside you. ²How holy and how beautiful He is!
²Think who your brother is, before you would condemn him. ³And offer thanks to God that he is holy, and has been given the gift of holiness for you. ⁴Join him in gladness, and remove all trace of guilt from his disturbed and tortured mind. ⁵Help him to lift the heavy burden of sin you laid upon him and he accepted as his own, and toss it lightly and with happy laughter away from him.
Together we will disappear into the Presence beyond the veil, not to be lost but found; not to be seen [as separate] but known [as one]. ²And knowing, nothing in the plan God has established for salvation will be left undone. ³This is the journey’s purpose, without which is the journey meaningless. ⁴Here is the peace of God, given to you eternally by Him. ⁵Here is the rest and quiet that you seek, the reason for the journey from its beginning. ⁶Heaven is the gift you owe your brother, the debt of gratitude you offer to the Son of God in thanks for what he is, and what his Father created him to be. (A Course in Miracles, T-19.IV-D.14:1-2;16:2-5;19. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
The only meaningful purpose for our journey through time and space is to forgive the belief that separation from our Source is possible. Without the interference of this belief, our brother is recognized as one with us. He can no more be sinful than God. To accept this is to accept our Self as God’s one Son, united with every brother.
As we let the Holy Spirit show us the innocence of Christ in our brother, we we see that innocence in our Self. Today is a day to welcome the gift every brother offers us by seeing past the veil of separation to the oneness we share with him and God. This is the purpose of our journey of return to our Home in Heaven.
