ACIM Workbook Lesson #134
"Let me perceive forgiveness as it is."
Righteous indignation: There's a lot of it going around, don't you think? Maybe I notice it so much because it's alive and well-established within me. Maybe I'm too quick to jump on my high horse and adopt a holier-than-thou attitude. It seems there are so many injustices which need righting. We have been told that forgiveness is looking the other way and doing nothing. I see forgiveness as looking past the illusion of separation from others to the realization of our unity. With this view, I can set aside my stories of right and wrong and open thought to the reality of Love as a palpable healing force. How wonderful to feel a kinship with everyone and everything, knowing that minus illusions of belief, we are all the same. What a joy to be finding our voice!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Love inspires, illumines, designates, and leads the way. Right motives give pinions to thought, and strength and freedom to speech and action.”
