My holiness shines bright and clear today.
Today I wake with joy, expecting but the happy things of God to come to me. ²I ask but them to come, and realize my invitation will be answered by the thoughts to which [my invitation] has been sent by me. ³And I will ask for only joyous things the instant I accept my holiness. ⁴For what would be the use of pain to me, what purpose would my suffering fulfill, and how would grief and loss avail me if insanity departs from me today, and I accept my holiness instead?
Father, my holiness is Yours. ²Let me rejoice in it, and through forgiveness be restored to sanity. ³Your Son is still as You created him. ⁴My holiness is part of me, and also part of You. ⁵And what can alter Holiness Itself? (A Course in Miracles, W-285. See also ACIM Lesson 285 Insights.)
God created us as extensions of Himself. He did not disconnect from His Creation. We share all His attributes — His holiness, His Love, His joy and His peace.
We do not see ourselves as having God’s attributes because we have denied our unity with Him. The ego turns that denial around telling us God abandoned us. It is this core belief that we need to forgive. This belief that we are separate from God is played out with the image that we are a body in a world of separate bodies in separate things. Each time we forgive, when we are able to see past the form to the presence of Love, we are forgiving the belief that we are separate from God.
The myriad images of separation in the dream make it appear that there is much to forgive. But at their core there is one thing to forgive — the belief that we separated from God. The invitation to accept His holiness as ours expresses our willingness to accept His gift of all of Himself. The Holy Spirit is given us to help us recognize our mistaken beliefs and let them go.
We will awaken to our holiness as we let the Holy Spirit teach us how to accept that we remain united with our Creator.
