ACIM T.25.VIII Justice Returned to Love

November 26, 2019

Justice is seeing innocence in another. This is justice in the reality of God’s creation. It is really that simple. We are all innocent. God creates us innocent. And we are incapable of corruption for we are extensions of God. We are One with God. If we believe we are not innocent, then we must believe that God is not innocent, but corrupt. But the truth is God sees our God given innocence and nothing else. Anything we believe about ourselves that is not innocence is a fabrication of our egoic thought system that believes we are separate from God. The Holy Spirit is given us to help remind us of our innocence. When we return to this idea of justice, we return to love and the awareness of who we really are.

To one who merits everything, how can it be that anything be kept from them? For that would be injustice, and unfair indeed to all the holiness that is in them, however much they recognize it not. God knows of no injustice. God would not allow God’s Child be judged by those who seek their death, and could not see their worth at all. What honest witnesses could they call forth to speak on their behalf? And who would come to plead for them, and not against their life? No justice would be given them by you. Yet God ensured that justice would be done unto the Child God loves, and would protect from all unfairness you might seek to offer, believing vengeance is their proper due.   T-25.VIII.10:1-8

Are we willing to be that one witness who sees innocence and sees it fairly? Fairness is seeing ourselves and each other as we truly are. And fairness allows love to be seen where it is and has always been, but was blocked by our unbelief. There is no blame for this unbelief. There is no punishment for this unbelief. We are asked only to look again and look beyond what appeared to be to the innocence beyond. Our innocence has always been within us waiting to be recognized when we choose to look beyond our egoic judgement and let it go. Spirit is also there within us ready to guide us in this transformation as we allow ourselves to be transformed.

You have the right to all the universe; to perfect peace, complete deliverance from all effects of sin, and to the life eternal, joyous and complete in every way, as God appointed for the holy Child. This is the only justice Heaven knows, and all the Holy Spirit brings to earth. Your special function shows you nothing else but perfect justice can prevail for you. And you are safe from vengeance in all forms. The world deceives, but it cannot replace God’s justice with a version of its own. For only love is just, and can perceive what justice must accord the Child of God. Let love decide, and never fear that you, in your unfairness, will deprive yourself of what God’s justice has allotted you.   T-25.VIII.14:1-7

We have come to the point where we want another way. Spirit is waiting for us to be willing to allow Spirit to guide us in that change. It’s a change as far as the world we seem to see is concerned, but it is really a return to the awareness of who we really are. It’s a return to innocence. It’s a return to completeness and wholeness. It’s a return to limitlessness. As we allow Spirit to guide us in this shift, we find peace and love flowing through us again. It never stopped, but we now are aware of its presence again. Be willing then to be a witness to innocence. Allow Spirit to reveal it to you in another and thus find it in yourself. All blame, judgement and guilt fall away at the sight of innocence, for there is nothing else to see. The light of innocence lights up Heaven for us and surrounds us with peace, love and joy. There is nothing more we could ever want for this is everything. In this witness to innocence is justice returned to love. And fairness is returned to all in the abundance of everything.
