I seek a future different from the past.
From new perception of the world there comes a future very different from the past. ²The future now is recognized as but extension of the present. ³Past mistakes can cast no shadows on it, so that fear has lost its idols and its images, and being formless, it has no effects. ⁴Death will not claim the future now, for life is now its goal, and all the needed means are happily provided. ⁵Who can grieve or suffer when the present has been freed, extending its security and peace into a quiet future filled with joy?
Father, we were mistaken in the past, and choose to use the present to be free. ²Now do we leave the future in Your Hands, leaving behind our past mistakes, and sure that You will keep Your present promises, and guide the future in their holy light. (A Course in Miracles, W-314. See also ACIM Lesson 314 Insights.>ACIM Text Made Simple.)
Forgiveness is the means to have a new perception of the world. Everything that upsets us is a perception based on our beliefs about the past. All our judgments are based on past learning that assigns means to perceptions of the present.
Today we choose Love as our reference for meaning. It shows us only the reality of Love. Love is eternally present. Love perceives no past. With Love as our Guide, we will see only the Love that unites us with everyone in a happy state of peace. Our hearts are filled with gratitude.
