It is our function to remember [God] on earth, as it is given us to be His Own completion in reality. So let us not forget our goal is shared, for it is that remembrance which contains the memory of God, and points the way to Him and to the Heaven of His peace. And shall we not forgive our brother, who can offer this to us? He is the way, the truth and life that shows the way to us. In him resides salvation, offered us through our forgiveness, given unto him.
We will not end this year without the gift our Father promised to His holy Son. We are forgiven now. And we are saved from all the wrath we thought belonged to God, and found it was a dream. We are restored to sanity, in which we understand that anger is insane, attack is mad, and vengeance merely foolish fantasy. We have been saved from wrath because we learned we were mistaken. Nothing more than that. And is a father angry at his son because he failed to understand the truth?
We come in honesty to God and say we did not understand, and ask Him to help us to learn His lessons, through the Voice of His Own Teacher. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 1, W-pII.f-l.in.4:1-6:1,pg.485-6. See also ACIM Final Lessons Insights.)
Our Creator gave us all of His Love when He Created His Son, our true Self. Yet we seem to wander in a world where Love is missing or at least incomplete. It seems this way only because we have accepted the mistaken belief that separation is real. It is not so. We are loved now and eternally.
All that stands between our awareness of this limitless, eternal Love is a mistake. God gave us the means to correct this mistake by giving us the Holy Spirit in our mind. He is our inner Teacher Whose mission is to help us free ourselves from this belief and its effects.
The means for this correction is forgiveness. With the Holy Spirit’s help, we learn to see beyond the world’s images of separation to Love’s presence everywhere. The body’s eyes cannot show us this reality. But as we accept the Holy Spirit’s vision, we see the Love that joins us with every brother. Ancient hates are transformed into present Love as we learn that appearances in the world are not real. They are only fantasies that hid the truth from our awareness. As we let them go, we remember we are loved. We remember our brother who is one with us in that Love. We remember God.
