²Because your grievances are hiding the light of the world in you, everyone stands in darkness, and you beside him. ³But as the veil of your grievances is lifted, you are released with him. ⁴Share your salvation now with him who stood beside you when you were in hell. ⁵He is your brother in the light of the world that saves you both.
²Salvation is our only need. ³There is no other purpose here, and no other function to fulfill. ⁴Learning salvation is our only goal. ⁵Let us end the ancient search today by finding the light in us, and holding it up for everyone who searches with us to look upon and rejoice.
²Your little effort and small determination [to find the light] call on the power of the universe to help you, and God Himself will raise you from darkness into light. ³You are in accord with His Will. ⁴You cannot fail because your will is His.
…what you undertake with God must succeed. ⁶Then let the power of God work in you and through you, that His Will and yours be done.
⁴My grievances hide the light of the world in me. ⁵I cannot see what I have hidden. ⁶Yet I want to let it be revealed to me, for my salvation and the salvation of the world. (A Course in Miracles, W-69.1:2-5;3:2-5;7:2-4;8:5-6;9:4-6. See also ACIM Lesson 69 Insights.)
Judgment imprisons those who judge. To maintain justification for their judgments, they must believe they are a body with a separate mind. This is the jail that seems to keep the Son of God in a loveless world of darkness. There Love is absent and fear and guilt are Love’s replacement.
Yet beyond the darkness lies the eternal Light of God, forever united with His Son, our true Self. This Light is hidden only by our mistaken beliefs. We free ourselves from the hell of isolation by letting God help us find His Light within. His strength supports our efforts. We cannot fail, for He is with us.
Today we choose to let the Light and strength of God help us let go of our grievances. With His help, we are restored to the certainty that we share God’s Will for perfect peace and happiness for His Son. The jailhouse door is open and we walk free with the Love of God beside us and in us, along with all our brothers.
