This holy instant is salvation come.
What joy there is today! ²It is a time of special celebration. ³For today holds out the instant to the darkened world where its release is set. ⁴The day has come when sorrows pass away and pain is gone. ⁵The glory of salvation dawns today upon a world set free. ⁶This is the time of hope for countless millions. ⁷They will be united now, as you forgive them all. ⁸For I will be forgiven by you today.
We have forgiven one another now, and so we come at last to You again. ²Father, Your Son, who never left, returns to Heaven and his home. ³How glad are we to have our sanity restored to us, and to remember that we all are one. (A Course in Miracles, W-241. See also ACIM Lesson 241 Insights.)
Time is the ego’s tool for avoiding the present moment where peace is found. Any moment in time can be a holy instant. It is that instant when we forgive the past and let the awareness of present Love fill our mind. This Love knows no limits nor exceptions. It is the Love of our true Self.
When we let go of the past, we are letting go of the dream of separation. When we remember the past, we hold it as a defense against present Love. We do not see our brother as he is when we hold the past in our mind. We are overlaying this memory on our brother and see it reflected back to us.
But when we come to see our brother without the past, the Love he is is all there is to see. In this vision we learn that we are Love and nothing else. Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s help to release the past and awaken to the Love in which we live and have our being.
