Immediate Comfort

Immediate comfort: 

almost seamless now, or closer so than ever before, and forgiveness has become such a natural response, easier in it's offering. I marvel that at one time this was a choice, something that took due consideration before I committed to my own peace of mind. It's amazing to think of all the times I chose pain instead of forgiveness, mulling over resentments incessantly through the night then and beginning once again at dawn. A Course in Miracles offers the guidance of three parts to true forgiveness - beginning with witnessing the problem, going right to the source which is always my own mind. I am responsible for my upsets, everyone of them, and this is also the means of its solution. 

this first step, and the one that follows, 

takes just a little willingness to see things differently.

it's this second step that I decide to forgive, having finally grown tired of being the source for my discomfort, and recognizing that there truly is another way to see the world and that it begins right here, an entire transformation now at hand. 

so with this, my work is really done. 

I'm not asked to forgive, 

but to only to turn this problem over to the Holy Spirit, asking that my original vision of innocence and love be restored. My role is to wait, patiently, trusting in a power that's greater than my pain. There is always an immediate response and yet early on I would miss this sense of relief. I'm more mindful now, decades of practice, but in review I see that this was always so. Releasing myself from having to forgive was an immense gift that was often overlooked at the time. I see it now, it's my experience, and I treasure it, basking in the presence of my holy guide who immediately offers comfort. 

all is cared for...

always.

I know this now.
