Mistakes Are Lessons in Forgiveness

My sight goes forth to look upon Christ’s face.

I ask Your blessing on my sight today. ²It is the means which You have chosen to become the way to show me my mistakes, and look beyond them. ³It is given me to find a new perception through the Guide You gave to me, and through His lessons to surpass perception and return to truth. ⁴I ask for the illusion which transcends all those I made. ⁵Today I choose to see a world forgiven, in which everyone shows me the face of Christ, and teaches me that what I look upon belongs to me; that nothing is, except Your holy Son.

Today our sight is blessed indeed. ²We share one vision, as we look upon the face of Him Whose Self is ours. ³We are one because of Him Who is the Son of God; of Him Who is our own Identity. (A Course in Miracles, W-269. See also ACIM Lesson 269 Insights.)

Mistakes are sins to the ego, worthy of condemnation and guilt. To avoid these consequences, attack is justified on those whom it projects its guilt. This strategy leads to a spiral into darkness and death.

The Holy Spirit has a different view of mistakes. They need nothing more than forgiveness. As we let Him guide our vision, mistakes become lessons that lead us out of perceived projections to recognition of the Love that unites us all as Christ, the holy Son of God. With this one vision, we accept our eternal union in Love with our Creator.
