⁶One is given you to see in him his perfect sinlessness. ⁷And you will ask no sacrifice of him because you could not will he suffer loss. ⁸The miracle of justice you call forth will rest on you as surely as on him.
Think, then, how great your own release will be when you are willing to receive correction for all your problems. ²You will not keep one, for pain in any form you will not want. ³And you will see each little hurt resolved before the Holy Spirit’s gentle sight. ⁴For all of them _are_ little in His sight, and worth no more than just a tiny sigh before they disappear, to be forever undone and unremembered. ⁵What seemed once to be a special problem, a mistake without a remedy, or an affliction without a cure, has been transformed into a universal blessing. ⁶Sacrifice is gone. ⁷And in its place the Love of God can be remembered, and will shine away all memory of sacrifice and loss.
⁴Your special function opens wide the door beyond which is the memory of His Love kept perfectly intact and undefiled. ⁵And all you need to do is but to wish that Heaven be given you instead of hell, and every bolt and barrier that seems to hold the door securely barred and locked will merely fall away and disappear. ⁶For it is not your Father’s Will that you should offer or receive less than He gave, when He created you in perfect love. (A Course in Miracles, T-26.II.6:6-8;7;8:4-6. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
Our special function is to see the innocence in every brother. What we see in our brother is a reflection of what we believe about ourselves. Thus when we forgive a brother and see his innocence, we forgive ourselves. As we forgive, we join with our Creator’s Will to be the Love we were created to be. We join in the oneness of Love.
As we practice our special function, we heal our mind of mistaken beliefs that have hidden our true Self from our awareness. This practice leads us Home to Love.
