 Some miracles live one day at a time one moment at a time we're going through the happy lessons of forgiveness the Holy Spirit needs happy learners and you're a happy learner if you are leaping in joy for the application of the lesson of the day every single lesson a sparkling gem uh something to embrace something that that carries us something that unfolds us it's something that when you read the lesson of the day and you take it in to practice it there should be like a hallelujah in your in your heart hallelujah the end of sadness and depression hallelujah the end of worry and anxiety the golden key lesson of the day is to be embraced with all your heart and with all your soul and and and it's something that illuminates the mind and and likes everything up so everything just sparkles so today we are going into the lessons again with Jesus one day at a time and we are on lesson 68 love holds no grievances and hallelujah for that you who were created by love like itself can hold no grievances and know your christ self to hold a grievance is to forget who you are to hold a grievance is to see yourself as a body to hold a grievance is to let the ego rule your mind and to condemn the body to death perhaps you do not fully realize just what holding grievances does to your mind it seems to split you off from your source and make you unlike him it makes you believe that he is like what you think you have become for no one can conceive of his creator as unlike himself shut off from your christ self which remains aware of its likeness to its creator your christ self seems to sleep while the part of your mind that weaves illusions in its sleep appears to be awake can all this arise from holding grievances oh yes for he who holds grievances denies he was created by love and his creator has become fearful to him in his dream of hate who can dream of hatred and not fear god it is assured that those who hold grievances will redefine god in their own image as it is certain that god created them like himself and defined them as part of him it is as sure that those who hold grievances will suffer guilt as it is certain that those who forgive will find peace it is as sure that those who hold grievances will forget who they are as it is certain that those who forgive will remember would you not be willing to relinquish your grievances if you believed all this or so perhaps you do not think you can let your grievances go that however is simply a matter of motivation today we will try to find out how you would feel without them if you succeed even by ever so little there will never be a problem in motivation ever again begin today's extended practice period by searching your mind for those against whom you hold what you regard as major grievances some of these will be quite easy to find then think of the seemingly minor grievances you hold against those you like and even think you love it will quickly become apparent that there is no one against whom you do not cherish grievances of some sort this has left you alone in all the universe in your perception of yourself determine now to see all these people as friends say to them all thinking of each one in turn as you do so I would see you as my friend that I may remember you are part of me and come to know myself spend the remainder of the practice period trying to think of yourself as completely at peace with everyone and everything safe in a world that protects you and loves you and that you love in return try to feel safety surrounding you hovering over you and holding you up try to believe however briefly that nothing can harm you in any way at the end of the practice period tell yourself love holds no grievances and I let all my grievances go I will know I am perfectly safe the short practice period should include a quick application of today's idea in this form whenever any thought of grievance arises against anyone physically present or not love holds no grievances let me not betray my Christ self in addition repeat the idea several times an hour in this form love holds no grievances I would wake to myself my Christ self by laying all my grievances aside and wakening in him as I read that last section that last last two sentences then I reminded of I can hear the voice of Shanti Oman and Shanti's singing in my mind because that was on one of their albums love holds no grievances I would wake to myself by laying all my grievances aside and wakening in him I just feel like what a what a beautiful experience I've had on earth because I've had so many witnesses of the lessons sung to me in songs it's like a it's like a wake-up call to have these beautiful voices I used to listen to the these albums and listen to so many songs of the spirit nurturing blessing the uplifting just showering my mind with love and there's another one love holds no grievances I would wake to my Christ self by laying all my grievances aside and wakening in him ah oh my that is so beautiful well speaking of Oman and Shanti I I'm going to call upon one of their songs to help us be lifted up past even the possibility of a grievance to be lifted up and see the newborn world that Christ has has given us this world of shimmering love and light and and and and feel it that that everything is is just perfect right minded seeing sees only perfection some of you have heard the phrase about being born again in Christ and this is literally being born again to the present moment free of the past no worries of the future no grievances and regrets from the past no ambitions for anything to be different in the world just a loving prayer of acceptance in the heart of all the love that is real and true so let's just pause for a moment and have a little meditation next and this will be Oman and Shanti singing meet the unborn world that's it that's our booster today love holds no grievances let us go out and meet the new born world for Christ has been reborn in it and the holiness of this rebirth will last forever how sweet how adorable to know the truth in our heart to speak the truth with our words to shine the light and to be the light of the world yeah and we cannot consistently be the white light of the world if we hold any grievances even the slightest grievance the slightest twinge of a judgment against a brother a sister against anything or any one of this world and the clouds try to come again to over to cover over the pristine light of love and truth that is us that extends through us that that we live and move in this light yeah this is the light of the world so beautiful have a blessed blessed day go forth uh and if any kind of judgment or a little sliver of judgment even tries to arise in consciousness and awareness today remember love holds no grievances and I would wake to my Christ self by laying all grievances aside and awakening in him in my Christ self okay God bless you
