Letting God’s Love Flow Through Us

Forgiveness is the only thing that stands for truth in the illusions of the world. It sees their nothingness, and looks straight through the thousand forms in which they may appear.

Across this bridge [of forgiveness], as powerful as love which laid its blessing on it, are all dreams of evil and of hatred and attack brought silently to truth. They are not kept to swell and bluster, and to terrify the foolish dreamer who believes in them. He has been gently wakened from his dream by understanding what he thought he saw was never there. And now he cannot feel that all escape has been denied to him.

Forgiveness must be practiced, for the world cannot perceive its meaning, nor provide a guide to teach you its beneficence.

Today we practice true forgiveness, that the time of joining be no more delayed. For we would meet with our reality in free­dom and in peace. Our practicing becomes the footsteps lighting up the way for all our brothers, who will follow us to the reality we share with them. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 134, W-pI.134.7:1-2;11;13:1;14:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 134 Insights.)

The ego is a thought of unforgiveness, the rejection of God’s gift of all of His Love. We cannot ask the thought of unforgiveness to teach us how to forgive.

But we have a Guide Whose function is to teach us to see past the illusions made by the thought of unforgiveness. As a bridge of God’s Love into the world, the Holy Spirit lovingly teaches us to recognize the unreality of illusions. Recognized for what they are, we easily overlook illusions, for they have had no effect on the reality of the Self God created one with Him.

The Holy Spirit’s lessons will never increase our fear. They gently awaken us from the dream of fear and guilt to the experience of God’s peace and joy. Each lesson accepted strengthens our willingness to let the Love of God flow through us. We awaken to the Love we are and remember every brother is one with us in that Love.
