Forgiveness Brings Happiness and Peace

It is your forgiveness that will bring the world of darkness to the light. It is your forgiveness that lets you recognize the light in which you see. Forgiveness is the demonstration that you are the light of the world. Through your forgiveness does the truth about yourself return to your memory. Therefore, in your for­giveness lies your salvation.

Illusions about yourself and the world are one. That is why all forgiveness is a gift to yourself. Your goal is to find out who you are, having denied your Identity by attacking creation and its Creator. Now you are learning how to remember the truth. For this attack must be replaced by forgiveness, so that thoughts of life may replace thoughts of death.

Remember that in every attack you call upon your own weakness, while each time you forgive you call upon the strength of Christ in you. Do you not then begin to understand what forgiveness will do for you? It will remove all sense of weakness, strain and fatigue from your mind. It will take away all fear and guilt and pain. It will restore the invulnerability and power God gave His Son to your awareness.”

Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world.
I would fulfill my function that I may be happy. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 62, W-pI.62.1-3;5:2-3. See also ACIM Lesson 62 Insights.)

We attack our brother when we believe he is limited to a body. This perception stems from the attack we made on ourself by believing we are a body. This belief blinds us to a world without Love. Love knows no limits and cannot be confined to any form of limitation.

The dream of a loveless world lacks the Light of Love. When we forgive our mistaken beliefs, we let go of limitation and make way for Love’s Light to shine upon the dream of a dark world. This is why forgiveness is our function in the dream. It welcomes the Light of Love by letting go of beliefs that deny Love.

When we welcome Love through forgiveness, we welcome God’s gifts of peace and perfect happiness. We this bring to the world each time we accept the Holy Spirit’s lesson in forgiveness. The Holy Spirit is ever present in our mind, dedicated to helping us forgive the denial of Love.

We are ready to let go of fear and guilt. Today we take the Holy Spirit’s Hand and accept His lead to guide our thoughts and perceptions to bring Light to the world.
