No one can look upon what your grievances conceal. 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 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;3:2-5;7:2-4;8:5-6;9:4-6. See also ACIM Lesson 69 Insights.)
Any sense of sadness, fear, anger or guilt is a sure sign that we are holding a grievance. Grievances are always based on perceptions of differences. But differences can only be perceived in a dream in which separation is believed to be real. This dream denies the Reality of Love’s oneness.
We need to free ourselves from our mistaken belief that separation is real. We start the process of setting ourselves free by acknowledging we are holding a grievance. We remind ourselves that this mistaken perception is hiding the Light of Love from our awareness. But we want to remember the Love that is our true Self.
Now we are motivated to ask the Holy Spirit for help. With an open mind, His vision helps us see past the illusion of differences to the Love that unifies us with our brothers and our Creator. Grievances disappear when accept the vision that shows us the Love in which we live.
