Releasing the Past to Return to Love

Creation’s freedom promises my own.

The end of dreams is promised me, because God’s Son is not abandoned by His Love. ²Only in dreams is there a time when he appears to be in prison, and awaits a future freedom, if it be at all. ³Yet in reality his dreams are gone, with truth established in their place. ⁴And now is freedom his already. ⁵Should I wait in chains which have been severed for release, when God is offering me freedom now?

I will accept Your promises today, and give my faith to them. ²My Father loves the Son Whom He created as His Own. ³Would You withhold the gifts You gave to me? (A Course in Miracles, W-279. See also ACIM Lesson 279 Insights.)

This dream is a self-made prison. We already have the key to unlock the door. Only our wish for specialness keeps the door locked. Now is the time to forgive that wish. Now is the time we are free. Our imprisonment is maintained by our attachment to the past. The ego uses the past to justify the locked prison door; to justify guilt, shame, anger and fear.

As long as we pay attention to the ego, we will defend our imprisonment. Forgiveness is the key. As we forgive the past, we recognize that we are free to be Love now. We ask the Holy Spirit today to help us forgive our mistaken beliefs so that we may dwell in the now moment of God’s Love.
