A Course in a Miracles says forgiveness is a “selective remembering,” the choice to take into the present only what you wish to have program your future. What we attach meaning to will have meaning for us. It’s much easier said than done, but learning to apply the lesson that only love is real frees us from the experience of everything else.
This is a week of such sacred opportunity… to open our hearts, to expand our awareness, to understand more deeply and allow feelings to wash over us. As we approach the new year we owe to ourselves to choose what we will let go as well as what we choose to take with us.
Sometimes others wronged us, and sometimes we wronged ourselves. But we can atone for what we did and figure others for anything they did to wrong us. Atonement and forgiveness free us from the need to keep carrying the burden of judgement and blame. According to ACIM we can have a grievance or a miracle, but we cannot have both.
Most importantly, the choices is ours to make. Only we can decide whether to be bitter or better. The choice to be better is a choice for miracles and love.
