Seeing as God Sees

The grace of God rests gently on forgiving eyes, and everything they look on speaks of Him to the beholder. ²He can see no evil; nothing in the world to fear, and no one who is different from himself. ³And as he loves them, so he looks upon himself with love and gentleness. ⁴He would no more condemn himself for his mistakes than damn another. ⁵He is not an arbiter of vengeance, nor a punisher of sin. ⁶The kindness of his sight rests on himself with all the tenderness it offers others. ⁷For he would only heal and only bless. ⁸And being in accord with what God wills, he has the power to heal and bless all those he looks on with the grace of God upon his sight.

The wish to see calls down the grace of God upon your eyes, and brings the gift of light that makes sight possible. ²Would you behold your brother? ³God is glad to have you look on him. ⁴He does not will your savior be unrecognized by you. ⁵Nor does He will that he remain without the function that He gave to him. ⁶Let him no more be lonely, for the lonely ones are those who see no function in the world for them to fill; no place where they are needed, and no aim which only they can perfectly fulfill.

Such is the Holy Spirit’s kind perception of specialness; His use of what you made, to heal instead of harm. ²To each He gives a special function in salvation he alone can fill; a part for only him. (A Course in Miracles, T-25.VI.1;3:1-4:2. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

When we forgive, we make way to let the Love we are shine upon our world. Love does not condemn, so It sees nothing to fear or hate. Love sees only reflections of Itself, for It sees no illusions of differences.

This is the world everyone in the dream wants to see. Our mistaken beliefs about what we are show us a make-believe world. When these beliefs that form our unique identity are forgiven, we see the Love that we are. We see everyone as part of the one Self we share as God’s Son.
