²It seems to you that other people are apart from you, and able to behave in ways which have no bearing on your thoughts, nor yours on theirs. ³Therefore, your attitudes have no effect on them, and their appeals for help are not in any way related to your own. ⁴You further think that they can sin without affecting your perception of yourself, while you can judge their sin, and yet remain apart from condemnation and at peace.
…true forgiveness, as the means by which it is attained, must heal the mind that gives, for giving is receiving.
Today we try to understand the truth that giver and receiver are the same.
In silence, close your eyes upon the world that does not understand forgiveness, and seek sanctuary in the quiet place where thoughts are changed and false beliefs laid by. ²Repeat today’s idea, and ask for help in understanding what it really means. ³Be willing to be taught. ⁴Be glad to hear the Voice of truth and healing speak to you, and you will understand the words He speaks, and recognize He speaks your words to you.
…tell yourself:
³All that I give is given to myself. ⁴The Help I need to learn that this is true is with me now. ⁵And I will trust in Him.
⁶Then spend a quiet moment, opening your mind to His correction and His Love. ⁷And what you hear of Him you will believe, for what He gives will be received by you. (W-126.2:2-4;7:5;8:1;10:1-4;11:2-7)
There is a way to see the world anew. We welcome it by pausing to quiet our mind to rest in the peace of God within. In this place we hear His Voice which teaches us to forgive the beliefs that have disturbed our peace. In their place we experience the joy of giving and receive Love.
We give ourselves and the world a gift each time we are willing to open our minds to His lessons in giving and receiving Love.
