ACIM Lesson 298 Contemplation

"I love You, Father, and I love Your Son."

This lesson emphasizes the transformative power of gratitude and love in overcoming fear and restoring us to our true reality. By embracing forgiveness, we remove the barriers that obscure our awareness of love for God and His Child, which includes all of creation. We are encouraged to surrender our attachment to illusions, such as fear and judgment, and instead accept the gifts of peace and sanctuary that God offers.
