The Course of Miracles is one of my favorite books and to me very powerful. I don’t try to convince anyone what to believe in or how to walk through life on this planet. But I do believe in a higher power that I can interact with and that brings some joy & peace to me..and we all need more of that. I’m going to repeat today’s reading from that book in it’s entirety, so I hope you get something from this too. Fear binds the world. Forgiveness sets it free

The ego makes illusions. Truth undoes it’s evil dreams by shining them away. Truth never makes attack. It merely is. And by it’s presence is the mind recalled from fantasies, awaking to the real. Forgiveness bids the presence enter in, and take it’s rightful place within the mind. Without forgiveness is the mind in chains, believing in it’s own futility. Yet with forgiveness does the light shine through the dream of darkness, offering it hope, and giving it means to realize the freedom that is its inheritance.

We would not bind the world again today. Fear holds it prisoner. And yet Your Love has given us the means to set it free. Father, we would release it now. For as we offer freedom, it is given us. And we would not remain as prisoners, while You are holding freedom out to us.
