The Christ in you is very still. He knows where you are going, and He leads you there in gentleness and blessing all the way. His love for God replaces all the fear you thought you saw within yourself.
He knows that Love is in you now, and safely held in you by that same hand that holds your brother’s in your own. Christ’s hand holds all His brothers in Himself. He gives them vision for their sightless eyes, and sings to them of Heaven, that their ears may hear no more the sound of battle and of death. He reaches through them, holding out His hand, that everyone may bless all living things, and see their holiness.… The sight of Christ is all there is to see. The song of Christ is all there is to hear. The hand of Christ is all there is to hold. There is no journey but to walk with Him. (A Course in Miracles, T-24.V.6:1-3;7:1-4,7-10. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
Forgiveness clears the way for us to recognize the Christ in our brothers and ourself. The face of Christ is the symbol of innocence. When we are judging, we cannot see innocence, neither in our brother nor ourself. Judgment makes our brother an adversary, a symbol of our own guilt we are trying to hide. Yet the judgment holds the guilt in place.
Forgiveness is the key to freedom, for it lets go of the barriers that prevent us from recognizing our innocence and the Love we are. Forgiveness frees us to be our Self, as God created It. Forgiveness lets us see our brother as our friend and join with us in our one Self.
Today we choose to hold Christ’s hand and let Him teach us to forgive and see the truth that only Love is real.
