Forgiveness Is the Choice to Be Happy

²From my holiness does the perception of the real world come. ³Having forgiven, I no longer see myself as guilty. ⁴I can accept the innocence that is the truth about me. ⁵Seen through understanding eyes, the holiness of the world is all I see, for I can picture only the thoughts I hold about myself.

²The perception of my holiness does not bless me alone. ³Everyone and everything I see in its light shares in the joy it brings to me. ⁴There is nothing that is apart from this joy, because there is nothing that does not share my holiness.

²My holiness is unlimited in its power to heal, because it is unlimited in its power to save. ³What is there to be saved from except illusions? ⁴And what are all illusions except false ideas about myself?

³I am blessed as a Son of God. ⁴All good things are mine, because God intended them for me. ⁵I cannot suffer any loss or deprivation or pain because of Who I am. ⁶My Father supports me, protects me, and directs me in all things. ⁷His care for me is infinite, and is with me forever. ⁸I am eternally blessed as His Son. (A Course in Miracles, W-58.1:2-5;2:2-4;3:2-4;5:3-8. See also ACIM Lesson 58 Insights.)

Forgiveness is the key to happiness. When we judge anything or anyone, we are telling ourselves that, if what we judge would change, it would make us happy, or at least less fearful. Yet there is nothing to judge in the reality of Love’s oneness. Only illusions we have made to cover over Love’s presence is causing us to be unhappy, fearful or guilty.

Today we choose happiness by letting go of our judgments. With an open mind, we let Holy Spirit’s vision to show us the Love that surrounds us and dwells in us. We are God’s Love, now and forever, united with Him. We welcome this vision today and it will be a joyous day indeed.
