We Are Innately Loved and Loving

And God Himself shall wipe away all tears.

Father, unless I judge I cannot weep. ²Nor can I suffer pain, or feel I am abandoned or unneeded in the world. ³This is my home because I judge it not, and therefore is it only what You will. ⁴Let me today behold it uncondemned, through happy eyes forgiveness has released from all distortion. ⁵Let me see Your world instead of mine. ⁶And all the tears I shed will be forgotten, for their source is gone. ⁷Father, I will not judge Your world today.

God’s world is happy. ²Those who look on it can only add their joy to it, and bless it as a cause of further joy in them. ³We wept because we did not understand. ⁴But we have learned the world we saw was false, and we will look upon God’s world today. (A Course in Miracles, W-301. See also ACIM Lesson 301 Insights.)

Any sense of loss is a sure sign we are identifying with the ego. Forgiveness frees us from this mistaken identification. When we forgive, we let the barrier of judgment fade and welcome God’s world of Love.

As God’s Son, we are loved and loving. As we let the Love we are light our way, we live in Love’s joy and peace. Today let us join with all our brothers in the Love that we all are. In this joining we are happy, at peace and comforted by the certainty of God’s Love.

We Live in the Reality of Love

Today I claim the gifts forgiveness gives.

I will not wait another day to find the treasures that my Father offers me. ²Illusions are all vain, and dreams are gone even while they are woven out of thoughts that rest on false perceptions. ³Let me not accept such meager gifts again today. ⁴God’s Voice is offering the peace of God to all who hear and choose to follow Him. ⁵This is my choice today. ⁶And so I go to find the treasures God has given me.

I seek but the eternal. ²For Your Son can be content with nothing less than this. ³What, then, can be his solace but what You are offering to his bewildered mind and frightened heart, to give him certainty and bring him peace? ⁴Today I would behold my brother sinless. ⁵This Your Will for me, for so will I behold my sinlessness. (A Course in Miracles, W-334. See also ACIM Lesson 334 Insights.)

Everyone is seeking relief from the chaos and conflict in the world. It is only our denial of God’s gift of changeless Love that shows us the illusion of a world where fear seems justified. Yet the Reality of our true Self is all of God’s Love, changeless and eternal. Forgiveness of our denial of Love is all that is needed to experience our life in the quiet certainty of God’s Love.

Our denial has been reinforced by myriad forms which portray our vulnerability and isolation. Yet as we practice accepting the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive, we learn that all forgiveness comes down to recognizing that only Love is real. Nothing else exists.

We continue our practice of forgiveness today by welcoming the Holy Spirit’s help to heal our misperceptions so we can recognize we live in Love’s Reality now.

We Let Love Be Itself

I am spirit.

²I am the Son of God. ³No body can contain my spirit, nor impose on me a limitation God created not.

I will accept my part in God’s plan for salvation.

²What can my function be but to accept the Word of God, Who has created me for what I am and will forever be? (A Course in Miracles, W-114.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 114 Insights.)

We have the power to bless the entire world with Love. We are not limited by a body. We do not have to go anywhere or do anything with our body to do this. We can do this because we are spirit. Spirit has no limits. It is eternally one with all in the Love of God.

To accept our part in God’s plan for salvation we need only forgive our attachment to a body as our identity. Each time we let go of a judgment and let the Holy Spirit show us the presence of Love beyond the body, we loosen our attachment to a separate identity. We see the world through the eyes of forgiveness. We let Love be Itself.

Choosing to Walk with Our Mighty Companion

…watch your mind and see… the senseless world you think is real. ⁶Review the thoughts as well which are compatible with such a world, and which you think are true. ⁷Then let them go, and sink below them to the holy place where they can enter not. ⁸There is a door beneath them in your mind, which you could not completely lock to hide what lies beyond.

Put out your hand, and see how easily the door swings open with your one intent to go beyond it. ²Angels light the way, so that all darkness vanishes, and you are standing in a light so bright and clear that you can understand all things you see. …the world you see before you in the light reflects the truth you knew, and did not quite forget in wandering away in dreams.

You cannot fail today. ²There walks with you the Spirit Heaven sent you, that you might approach this door some day, and through His aid slip effortlessly past it, to the light. ³Today that day has come. (A Course in Miracles, W-131.11:5-8;13;14:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 131 Insights.)

The Holy Spirit, our best Friend, walks with us today, as He always has. Today we choose to welcome His companionship. We trust that He knows the path that will lead us to the Light within. In this Light, all is forgiven. Only Love is experienced.

We are grateful for our mighty Companion. He remembers for us the Love we have forgotten in our dreams of separation and fear. We feel the comfort He brings with His certainty of our eternal unity with our Creator. We accept His help to forgive our mistaken beliefs and walk with Him to freedom to be the limitless Love that is our natural state.

Welcoming the Holy Spirit’s Loving Correction

I will not be afraid of love today.

If I could realize but this today, salvation would be reached for all the world. ²This the decision not to be insane, and to accept myself as God Himself, my Father and my Source, created me. ³This the determination not to be asleep in dreams of death, while truth remains forever living in the joy of love. ⁴And this the choice to recognize the Self Whom God created as the Son He loves, and Who remains my one Identity.

Father, Your Name is Love and so is mine. ²Such is the truth. ³And can the truth be changed by merely giving it another name? ⁴The name of fear is simply a mistake. ⁵Let me not be afraid of truth today. (A Course in Miracles, W-282. See also ACIM Lesson 282 Insights.)

Our true Identity is Love. The ego is the denial of this fact. In its denial of reality, the ego must make up a world of illusions that support its denial of Love. Because fear is the absence of Love, fear pervades the ego’s world.

Forgiveness is the way out of the ego’s world. When we forgive our identification with the ego, we let go of our barriers to Love. We let the Light of our true Identity shine brighter in our mind. We experience a greater peace because of the stability of Love’s oneness. We trust in Love’s certainty, knowing Love does not change.

Today we ask the Holy Spirit’s help to recognize our mistaken perceptions and welcome His loving corrections.

Forgiveness Brings Peace of Mind

My true Identity abides in You.

Father, I made an image of myself, and it is this I call the Son of God. ²Yet is creation as it always was, for Your creation is unchangeable. ³Let me not worship idols. ⁴I am he my Father loves. ⁵My holiness remains the light of Heaven and the Love of God. ⁶Is not what is beloved of You secure? ⁷Is not the light of Heaven infinite? ⁸Is not Your Son my true Identity, when You created everything that is?

Now are we one in shared Identity, with God our Father as our only Source, and everything created part of us. ²And so we offer blessing to all things, uniting lovingly with all the world, which our forgiveness has made one with us. (A Course in Miracles, W-283. See also ACIM Lesson 283 Insights.)

The truth is that we all share the one Identity of God’s Son. The truth that unites all of us is Love. Nothing else is real. It is accepting this fact that sets us free from the limitations the ego tries to impose.

We have the means to free ourselves from the limited thought system of individuality and separateness that is the ego. Forgiveness of our mistaken beliefs welcomes Love’s oneness.

Today, when we notice anything that is disturbing our peace of mind, we ask the Holy Spirit to help us see through eyes of forgiveness. With His help we will recognize that what is disturbing us is not real. Our forgiving eyes show us our unity in our Identity as Love and nothing else. Through forgiveness we find peace of mind.

Forgiveness Reveals Love’s Eternal Presence

I can be free of suffering today.

Father, I thank You for today, and for the freedom I am certain it will bring. ²This day is holy, for today Your Son will be redeemed. ³His suffering is done. ⁴For he will hear Your Voice directing him to find Christ’s vision through forgiveness, and be free forever from all suffering. ⁵Thanks for today, my Father. ⁶I was born into this world but to achieve this day, and what it holds in joy and freedom for Your holy Son and for the world he made, which is released along with him today.

Be glad today! ²Be glad! ³There is no room for anything but joy and thanks today. ⁴Our Father has redeemed His Son this day. ⁵Not one of us but will be saved today. ⁶Not one who will remain in fear, and none the Father will not gather to Himself, awake in Heaven in the Heart of Love. (A Course in Miracles, W-340. See also ACIM Lesson 340 Insights.)

It may seem that the end of suffering is a long way off. That is the story the ego tells us. It uses belief in time as a tool to convince us that separation is real. It tells us the past determines our future. The ego does not want us to remember the reality of Love, which is ever present in the now moment.

We can claim our Reality by forgiving our attachment to the ego’s stories. This is why Christ’s vision, which sees through forgiveness, is the key to freedom from pain. In every moment of every day, Christ’s vision offers us the vision of Love, all encompassing, uniting us with Reality.

When we are willing to exclude nothing from our forgiveness, we will experience the peace and happiness which are our birthright.
