Lesson 197 from the workbook of A Course in Miracles
"It can be but my gratitude I earn." (W197)
Yesterday, we learned that when we harm another through thought word or deed, we harm ourselves. Today we learn; "Here is the second step we take to free your mind from the belief in outside forces pitted against your own.... You make attempts at kindness and forgiveness. Yet you turn them to attack again, unless you find external gratitude and lavish thanks...."
We think that our kindness and forgiveness must be received with gratitude and appreciation, or we turn around and attack the other in our minds and/or behaviour again. If we want to be truly free, we learn how to give love unconditionally. We forgive in appreciation for the lessons that we are learning through these experiences. We see the other as a messenger of God who has come to help us along in our spiritual growth. We are told that: "God blesses every gift you give to Him, and every gift is given Him, because it can be given only to yourself." Every single time that we give the gift of love and forgiveness, we are actually giving it to God. "Yet you will never realize His gifts are sure, eternal, changeless, limitless, forever giving out, extending love and adding to your never-ending joy while you forgive but to attack again....And with the end of this belief is fear forever over." (W 197) We forgive finally and truly. We refuse the ego's attempt to keep picking up the sword of resentment. We finally let go. We are free! We are filled with love, joy and peace. This is our inheritance. Let's go out and spread God's love everywhere we go today. I love you!
