Everyone here has entered darkness, yet no one has entered it alone. Nor need he stay more than an instant. For he has come with Heaven’s Help within him, ready to lead him out of darkness into light at any time. The time he chooses can be any time, for help is there, awaiting but his choice. And when he chooses to avail himself of what is given him, then will he see each situation that he thought before was means to justify his anger turned to an event which justifies his love. He will hear plainly that the calls to war he heard before are really calls to peace. He will perceive that where he gave attack is but another altar where he can, with equal ease and far more happiness, bestow forgiveness. And he will reinterpret all temptation as just another chance to bring him joy.
Let all your brother’s errors be to you nothing except a chance for you to see the workings of the Helper given you to see the world He made instead of yours.… This world has much to offer to your peace, and many chances to extend your own forgiveness. Such its purpose is, to those who want to see peace and forgiveness descend on them, and offer them the light. (A Course in Miracles, T-25.III.6;7:2,8-9. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
Every moment of every day is an opportunity to forgive the world and let the Light of Love shine through. The ego made the world to maintain the denial of Love. The Holy Spirit sees the world as a teaching aid to help us recognize we do not really want the images of the world, and so we let them go. Thus the Holy Spirit teaches us to forgive the world, to let go of the denial of Love and welcome the Love that is our inheritance.
