Returning to Our Life in God

Think who your brother is, before you would condemn him. And offer thanks to God that he is holy, and has been given the gift of holiness for you. Join him in gladness, and remove all trace of guilt from his disturbed and tortured mind. Help him to lift the heavy burden of sin you laid upon him and he accepted as his own, and toss it lightly and with happy laughter away from him.

Together we will disappear into the Presence beyond the veil, not to be lost but found; not to be seen but known. And knowing, nothing in the plan God has established for salvation will be left undone. This is the journey’s purpose, without which is the journey meaningless. Here is the peace of God, given to you eternally by Him. Here is the rest and quiet that you seek, the reason for the journey from its beginning. Heaven is the gift you owe your brother, the debt of gratitude you offer to the Son of God in thanks for what he is, and what his Father created him to be. (A Course in Miracles, T-19.IV.D.16:2-5;19. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Our brother is the Son of God, as are we all. If we see our brother as a body, we are not recognizing the Son of God he is because we do not see ourselves as the Son of God. Perception is projection. We see in others what we believe about ourselves.

If we let the Holy Spirit show us the innocence of Love in our brother, we see the Love we are reflected back to us. This is why forgiveness is the key to happiness, peace and freedom from the limitations of the ego. The forgiveness we give to a brother is a gift to ourselves. It is a gift that leads us to the acceptance of the one Self, the Son of God, as What we are.

Today let us join together in accepting Christ’s vision to see the truth in our brother as nothing but Love, and know the truth about our Self. This practice is the escape from the dead thoughts of the ego and the return to the Life we live in God.
