Let the Light

ACIM Workbook Lesson #85

Review: "My grievances hide the light of the world in me." and "My salvation comes from me."

A dear friend passed on recently. I feel she died of a broken heart. She, like you and me, had the light of the world in her, but it was hidden by grievances. She felt let down by people and held back by life's circumstances. As today's review reiterates, we must want to see in order to do so. At times I thought she was ready to lay aside past hurts, but it never happened. As we are told in Lesson 70: “Today I will recognize where my salvation is...I will not look for it outside myself. It is not found outside and then brought in. But from within me it will reach beyond, and everything I see will but reflect the light that shines in me and in itself." During this time of renewal and resurrection, may we all look past the circumstances, turning to the Truth of being, and find salvation!

Mary Baker Eddy quote:

"Ignorance of the divine idea betrays at once a greater ignorance of the divine Principle of the idea — ignorance of Truth and Love. The understanding of Truth and Love, the Principle which works out the ends of eternal good and destroys both faith in evil and the practice of evil, leads to the discernment of the divine idea."
