We Have Help to Forgive Our Mistaken Beliefs

God’s answer is some form of peace. All pain is healed; all misery replaced with joy. All prison doors are opened. And all sin is understood as merely a mistake.

Father, today we will forgive Your world, and let creation be Your Own. ²We have misunderstood all things. ³But we have not made sinners of the holy Sons of God. ⁴What You created sinless so abides forever and forever. ⁵Such are we. ⁶And we rejoice to learn that we have made mistakes which have no real effects on us. ⁷Sin is impossible, and on this fact forgiveness rests upon a certain base more solid than the shadow world we see. ⁸Help us forgive, for we would be redeemed. ⁹Help us forgive, for we would be at peace. (A Course in Miracles, W-359. See also ACIM Lesson 359 Insights.)

All our unhappiness, our pain and fear, are the effect of unforgiveness. It is a result of our mistaken wish for specialness, for differences and conflicting images to be real. We are so engaged with making separation real that we need help to forgive the error.

We cannot forgive this mistaken wish on our own; we need help. God has provided all the help we need to forgive the shadow world we see and welcome the Reality of His Love. He gave us the Holy Spirit in our mind, Whom we can turn to in every moment. His function is to shine the Light of Love on all that we perceive to reveal our unbroken oneness with all our brothers and our Father.

Today we practice accepting the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive our mistaken beliefs.
