Lesson 61 ACIM

Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world.
It is your forgiveness that will bring the world of darkness to the light. It is
your forgiveness that lets you recognize the light in which you see.
Forgiveness is the demonstration that you are the light of the world.
Through your forgiveness does the truth about yourself return to your
memory. Therefore, in your forgiveness lies your salvation.
Illusions about yourself and the world are one. That is why all forgiveness is
a gift to yourself. Your goal is to find out who you are, having denied your
Identity by attacking creation and its Creator. Now you are learning how to
remember the truth. For this attack must be replaced by forgiveness, so that
thoughts of life may replace thoughts of death.
Remember that in every attack you call upon your own weakness, while
each time you forgive you call upon the strength of Christ in you. Do you
not then begin to understand what forgiveness will do for you? It will
remove all sense of weakness, strain and fatigue from your mind. It will
take away all fear and guilt and pain. It will restore the invulnerability and
power God gave His Son to your awareness.
Let us be glad to begin and end this day by practicing today’s idea, and to
use it as frequently as possible throughout the day. It will help to make the
day as happy for you as God wants you to be. And it will help those around
