A Course in Miracles, Lesson 312

How we see the world is our perception. And the shift in perception from fear to love defines the miracle we all seek. Seeing with love takes away judgment and opens our eyes to peace. This is true sight.

I see all things as I would have them be.

Perception follows judgment. Having judged, we therefore see what we would look upon. For sight can merely serve to offer us what we would have. It is impossible to overlook what we would see, and fail to see what we have chosen to behold. How surely, therefore, must the real world come to greet the holy sight of anyone who takes the Holy Spirit's purpose as his goal for seeing. And he cannot fail to look upon what Christ would have him see, and share Christ's Love for what he looks upon.

I have no purpose for today except to look upon a liberated world, set free from all the judgments I have made. Father, this is Your Will for me today, and therefore it must be my goal as well.

Quote of the Day
"The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world."
