The Choice for Joy

Vision will come to you at first in glimpses, but they will be enough to show you what is given you who see your brother sinless. ²Truth is restored to you through your desire, as it was lost to you through your desire for something else. ³Open the holy place that you closed off by valuing the “something else,” and what was never lost will quietly return. ⁴It has been saved for you. ⁵Vision would not be necessary had judgment not been made. ⁶Desire now [judgment’s] whole undoing, and it is done for you.

Do you not want to know your own Identity? ²Would you not happily exchange your doubts for certainty? ³Would you not willingly be free of misery, and learn again of joy? ⁴Your holy relationship offers all this to you.… ¹⁰Vision is freely given to those who ask to see.

Your brother’s sinlessness is given you in shining light, to look on with the Holy Spirit’s vision and to rejoice in along with Him. ²For peace will come to all who ask for it with real desire and sincerity of purpose, shared with the Holy Spirit and at one with Him on what salvation is. ³Be willing, then, to see your brother sinless, that Christ may rise before your vision and give you joy. ⁴And place no value on your brother’s body, which holds him to illusions of what he is. (A Course in Miracles, T-20.VIII.1:1–2:5,10;3:1-4. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Our salvation is found when we see our brother as an equal in the oneness of God’s Son. We see our brother truly when we forgive our illusions of being separate individuals in separate bodies. Without the idea of individuality and differences, there is nothing left to judge. The cloud of judgment is dispelled and the Light of Love joins us together in Its oneness.

This is the gift the Holy Spirit’s vision offers us. The choice to accept His vision is the choice for peace of mind, unlimited joy and the certainty of our eternal unity with our Creator. Today we ask the Holy Spirit to help us see, with His vision, our Reality in Love.
