The Joy of Giving and Receiving Love

Forgiveness lets me know that minds are joined.

Forgiveness is the means appointed for perception’s ending. ²Knowledge is restored after perception first is changed, and then gives way entirely to what remains forever past its highest reach. ³For sights and sounds, at best, can serve but to recall the memory that lies beyond them all. ⁴Forgiveness sweeps away distortions, and opens the hidden altar to the truth. ⁵Its lilies shine into the mind, and call it to return and look within, to find what it has vainly sought without. ⁶For here, and only here, is peace of mind restored, for this the dwelling place of God Himself.

In quiet may forgiveness wipe away my dreams of separation and of sin. ²Then let me, Father, look within, and find Your promise of my sinlessness is kept; Your Word remains unchanged within my mind, Your Love is still abiding in my heart. (A Course in Miracles, W-336. See also ACIM Lesson 336 Insights.)

Through forgiveness we let go of the need to perceive anything external; nothing exists outside the Love of God. His Love completes His Son, as His Son completes Himself. His Love is in us, and we are surrounded by His Love.

As we pause to let the ego’s chaotic thoughts pass by, our mind opens to the memory of Love’s oneness. Perception of differences fades, revealing our true Identity in the Love of our Father. In peace, our hearts are filled with the joy of giving and receiving unlimited Love.
