A Gift with Value Beyond Measure

…[God] wills the happiness His Son inherited of Him be undisturbed; eternal and forever gaining scope, eternally expanding in the joy of full creation, and eternally open and wholly limitless in Him. ³That is His Will. ⁴And thus His Will provides the means to guarantee that it is done.

Certain it is that all distress does not appear to be but unforgiveness. ²Yet that is the content underneath the form.

Forgive, and you will see this differently.

²These are the words the Holy Spirit speaks in all your tribulations, all your pain, all suffering regardless of its form. ³These are the words with which temptation ends, and guilt, abandoned, is revered no more. ⁴These are the words which end the dream of sin, and rid the mind of fear. ⁵These are the words by which salvation comes to all the world.

Shall we not learn to say these words when we are tempted to believe that pain is real, and death becomes our choice instead of life? ²Shall we not learn to say these words when we have understood their power to release all minds from bondage? ³These are words which give you power over all events that seem to have been given power over you. (A Course in Miracles, W-193.1:2-4;4:1-2;5:1–6:3. See also ACIM Lesson 193 Insights.)

Forgiveness is a powerful antidote for every problem we seem to have in the world. Nothing can prevail against true forgiveness, which comes when we accept the Holy Spirit’s help to see the truth beyond every appearance. The dream seems to tell us that we are alone, weak and vulnerable and that our “life” is certain to end in death. But illusions only seem to replace Reality when we believe illusions are real.

Fortunately beliefs can change. We have all experienced changed beliefs many times in our lives in the world. The changeability of beliefs provides our escape from the dream of fear and guilt. We have taught ourselves to believe that lies are true. Through forgiveness, we learn to undo these mistaken lessons.

Today we can choose to give ourselves the most valuable gift we can give. We can accept the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive our mistaken beliefs. As we accept His help, our experience in the world will be transformed. We will find peace where there was conflict. We will find joy where there was depression. We will find Love where there was fear.
