The Decision to Accept God’s Love

Let us this day accept forgiveness as our only function. ²Why should we attack our minds, and give them images of pain? ³Why should we teach them they are powerless, when God holds out His power and His Love, and bids them [our minds] take what is already theirs? ⁴The mind that is made willing to accept God’s gifts has been restored to spirit, and extends its freedom and its joy, as is the Will of God united with its own. ⁵The Self which God created cannot sin, and therefore cannot suffer. ⁶Let us choose today that He be our Identity, and thus escape forever from all things the dream of fear appears to offer us.

Father, Your Son can not be hurt. ²And if we think we suffer, we but fail to know our one Identity we share with You. ³We would return to It today, to be made free forever from all our mistakes, and to be saved from what we thought we were. (A Course in Miracles, W-330. See also ACIM Lesson 330 Insights.)

Our only function is to forgive our mistaken wish to be a separate individual, housed in a body, and disconnected from the reality of God’s Love. Forgiveness opens our mind to accept God’s gift of all of Himself.

God is our true Identity. His Love created His Son one with Himself. Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s help to recognize our illusions for what they are, and let them go. This is how we free our minds from our mistaken wishes. The veil of self-deception is dispelled and we awaken to the Love our Father has always shared with us.
