To err is human; to truly forgive is to recognize the freedom and joy of our True Self. True forgiveness is the antidote to the feelings of anger, stress, and anxiety that seem to overwhelm us throughout our lives. When we did something wrong as a child, our parents would ask us to seek forgiveness from the person we have hurt. Or when we felt hurt by others, we sought an apology from them. Yet most of the time the old feelings and resentments, the grievances, remained. These grievances become deeply buried anger that leads to anxiety and stress because it is not understood what forgiving really means. True forgiveness is a release from old resentments, and leads to peace of mind, joy, and happiness.
True forgiveness is what you can learn through A Course in Miracles (ACIM). ACIM Lessons teach you step by step how to forgive in order to experience consistent peace of mind. We cannot truly appreciate the miracle of forgiveness until we apply it in life and experience it for ourselves. Our lives are forever transformed when we experience the release from grievances, anger, and stress through the miracle of forgiveness.
ACIM miracles tell us that “Miracles are natural signs of forgiveness. Through miracles you accept God's forgiveness by extending it to others”. This means that when you forgive someone, you are actually extending God’s forgiveness to them.
As you start applying the ACIM Lessons, you will slowly gain a direct experience of the power of true forgiveness found throughoutA Course in Miracles.
