Lesson 247 – Without forgiveness I will still be blind.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

Light illuminates me … my heart expands.  I used to be so painfully lonely and afraid, before I was reminded that it was I who chose to narrow my view and believe in separation from God.  What a relief to be re-Minded!  What a blessing to learn I’ve been blind.  What a joy to know the body’s eyes do not See.  I am forgiven, forgiving and free — and you with me.  Amen!

LESSON 247

Without forgiveness I will still be blind.

Sin is the symbol of attack.  Behold it anywhere, and I will suffer.  For forgiveness is the only means whereby Christ’s vision comes to me.  Let me accept what His sight shows me as the simple truth, and I am healed completely.  Brother, come and let me look on you.  Your loveliness reflects my own.  Your sinlessness is mine.  You stand forgiven, and I stand with you.

So would I look on everyone today.  My brothers are Your Sons.  Your Fatherhood created them, and gave them all to me as part of You, and my own Self as well.  Today I honor You through them, and thus I hope this day to recognize my Self.
