Accepting the Love We Are

⁷If you can see your brother merits pardon, you have learned forgiveness is your right as much as his.

Look on your brother with the willingness to see him as he is. ²And do not keep a part of him outside your willingness that he be healed. ³To heal is to make whole. ⁴And what is whole can have no missing parts that have been kept outside. ⁵Forgiveness rests on recognizing this, and being glad there cannot be some forms of sickness which the miracle must lack the power to heal.

God’s Son is perfect, or he cannot be God’s Son. ²Nor will you know him, if you think he does not merit the escape from guilt in all its consequences and its forms. ³There is no way to think of him but this, if you would know the truth about yourself.

⁴I thank You, Father, for Your perfect Son, and in his glory will I see my own. (A Course in Miracles, T-30.VI.4:7;8:1–9:4. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

There is one lesson our inner Teacher would have us learn: Our Father created us, His Son, one with Himself. In that oneness, we share all of our Father’s attributes. Seeing the truth of a brother means that we see him as Love and nothing else.

In the dream of separation, we have taught ourselves to see an imagined image of ourselves and others that hides our unity with all. We see adversaries we must defend against to protect the small treasure we can call our own.

Today we are willing to let the Holy Spirit show us the Love that unites us with everyone. With His help, we will forgive our mistaken identity and accept the loving Self God created as His Son.
