The Means to Awaken to Love

Forgiveness lets the veil be lifted up that hides the face of Christ from those who look with unforgiving eyes upon the world. ²It lets you recognize the Son of God, and clears your memory of all dead thoughts so that remembrance of your Father can arise across the threshold of your mind.

Why would you seek an answer other than the answer that will answer everything? ²Here is the perfect answer, given to imperfect questions, meaningless requests, halfhearted willingness to hear, and less than halfway diligence and partial trust. ³Here is the answer! ⁴Seek for it no more. ⁵You will not find another one instead.

³Forgive and be forgiven. ⁴As you give you will receive. ⁵There is no plan but this for the salvation of the Son of God. ⁶Let us today rejoice that this is so, for here we have an answer, clear and plain, beyond deceit in its simplicity. ⁷All the complexities the world has spun of fragile cobwebs disappear before the power and the majesty of this extremely simple statement of the truth [Forgiveness offers everything I want.] (A Course in Miracles, W-122.3:1-2;4;6:3-7. See also ACIM Lesson 122 Insights.)

Everyone is searching for peace and happiness. The only thing that interferes with having this experience is seeking for it where it cannot be found. If we choose the ego as our guide, it will direct us on quests to find some form in the world that will make us happy or feel safe. But there is nothing in the world that can truly offer this. It is just a dream of empty images that have no meaning of their own.

True and lasting peace and happiness are gifts from God, the only Source of Reality. We accept His gifts when we forgive our ego-based beliefs that deny God’s gifts.

Today we remind ourselves that we do not know on our own where to find peace and happiness. The idea of being alone is a barrier to the awareness of Love’s presence. We ask the Holy Spirit, God’s Messenger of Love, to help us see past our mistaken perceptions to the Love that never changes. We want to return to the Home God created for us where Love is all there Is. Here God shares all His joy and peace without limit nor end. We are grateful that we have the means to awaken to the Love we are.
