Forgiveness ends all suffering and loss.
Forgiveness paints a picture of a world where suffering is over, loss becomes impossible and anger makes no sense. Attack is gone, and madness has an end. What suffering is now conceivable? What loss can be sustained? The world becomes a place of joy, abundance, charity and endless giving. It is now so like to Heaven that it quickly is transformed into the light that it reflects. And so the journey which the Son of God began has ended in the light from which he came.
Father, we would return our minds to You. We have betrayed them, held [our minds] in a vise of bitterness, and frightened them with thoughts of violence and death. Now would we rest again in You, as You created us. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 249, W-pII.249. See also ACIM Lesson 249 Insights.)
In every moment we can choose to live in a world of joy, abundance, charity and endless giving. This comes when we choose to forgive our belief in separation. This means we stop insisting that separation is real because we believe our identity depends upon it. But this identity is not real. It is an image made up to make separation appear real.
It seems that the loss of this identity would be death because we have blocked our minds from awareness of the Self that was created in Light as Light, eternally one with the Source of joy, abundance, Love and peace.
We have been given the means to release this blockage, guided by the Voice of Love. This Love acknowledges our mistaken beliefs and leads us to release them gently, without fear. In Its kindly Light It shows us that what we have believed was a barrier has no substance and no effect on What we are. In this Light we freely see that this seeming block does nothing and does not serve us. The decision to let it go is made freely, in gratitude, as we see more clearly the Light that is our Home.
Today we practice choosing this Light as our Guide, for we would end our sense of suffering and loss.
