Forgiveness is the only gift I give.
Forgiveness is the only gift I give, because it is the only gift I want. ²And everything I give I give myself. ³This is salvation’s simple formula. ⁴And I, who would be saved, would make it mine, to be the way I live within a world that needs salvation, and that will be saved as I accept Atonement for myself.
Father, how certain are Your ways; how sure their final outcome, and how faithfully is every step in my salvation set already, and accomplished by Your grace. ²Thanks be to You for Your eternal gifts, and thanks to You for my Identity. (A Course in Miracles, W-297. See also ACIM Lesson 297 Insights.)
Every perception depends upon the belief that we are separate from all that is around us. Perception requires an external image seen as separate from the observer. This is the ego’s world.
But when we forgive our perceptions, we open the door that welcomes the Love which is our Identity. Our very life exists only in the oneness of God’s Love. When we let go of belief in an external world, we welcome God’s Love. Our forgiveness blesses the appearance that is forgiven as it blesses ourselves.
Forgiveness brings with it the acceptance of God’s gift of His Identity, which is Love and nothing else. Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive our mistaken perceptions. As we forgive, we become messengers of Love.
