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. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.122.8)
Our true Self is eternally happy and in deep peace, knowing It is invulnerable and perfectly safe. To experience this for ourselves we need to let go of the false image we have taught ourselves to believe is what we are. Forgiveness is the way we let go of this false image.
Having bought into the belief system that made the false image, we need help from outside this belief system to let it go. That Help is ever present, ready to help us forgive when we are willing to accept it. When we insist on being the interpreter of what appears in our world, we block the awareness of our true Self. The practice of setting aside our interpretation and opening our minds willingly to the Holy Spirit’s interpretation frees us from the bondage of our limited belief system.
Today is another opportunity to give ourselves the gift of practicing turning over all our interpretations to the Holy Spirit with willingness to receive His interpretation in their place. This is how we receive the gifts forgiveness offers.
