(This is what stood out to me in Workbook lesson 192.)
I have a function God would have me fill.
Creation has no meaning in the world and cannot even be conceived of here. Forgiveness is the closest creation or Love can come to earth.
Forgiveness represents your function here.
Forgiveness: gently looks on all things unknown in Heaven; leaves the world clean of senseless symbols; makes the mind clean for the Word of God; overcomes the belief in death; lets the body be perceived as it is, a simple teaching aid, to be used by the holy Self to extend love.
Only forgiveness can: relieve the mind of thinking the body is its home; restore the peace God intended for His holy Son; persuade the Son to look on his holiness.
We have been given everything by God and need forgiveness to perceive that it is so. Without forgiveness’ light we grope in the dark, using reason to justify our rage, attack and the worship of what is not real. He who has forgiven everyone he sees, thinks of, or imagines, is born again in Christ. Release and you are made free.
Every time you feel anger, from mild irritation to burning rage, realize you hold a sword above your head. And it will be fall or be averted as you choose to be condemned or free. Thus who seems to tempt you to be angry represents your savior from the dream of separation and death.
