Lesson 68. Love holds no grievances.
You who were created by Love like Itself can hold grievances. You can hold grievances because you are free.
You are free to forget who you are.
You are free to see yourself as a body.
You are free to let the ego rule your mind.
You are free to condemn the body to death.
You are free to sleep.
You are free to redefine God in your own image.
You are free to suffer guilt.
You are free to become fearful.
You are free to dream of hate.
You are free to betray yourself.
You are free to deny you were created by Love.
You are free to hold grievances and not know your Self.
“Grievance” can be redefined as a ‘limited and biased point-of-view’. In other words, “Love holds no grievances” means: Love—wholeness, or the awareness of totality as my Self—holds no limited and biased point-of-view.
In yesterday’s lesson, “Love created me like Itself” Jesus offered us a revelatory experience; a thoughtless interval of awareness of blazing light.” Today he offers to set us free. He says all we have to do is let go of all grievances (or our limited and biased point of view) and …
You will no longer feel all alone in the universe.
You will see everyone as a friend.
You will remember they are a part of you.
You will think of yourself as completely at peace with everyone and everything.
You will think of yourself as safe in a world which protects you and loves you and which you love in return.
You will feel safety surrounding you, hovering over you and holding you up.
You will believe (and rightfully so) that nothing can harm you in any way.
You will know you are perfectly safe.
You will know all this because when we give up our grievances we come to know our true Self.
That is quite the promise Jesus. Thank you.
