Forgiveness paints a picture of a world where suffering is over, loss becomes impossible, and anger makes no sense. Attack is gone, and madness has an end. What suffering is now conceivable? What loss can be sustained? The world becomes a place of joy, abundance, charity and endless giving. It is now so like to Heaven that it quickly is transformed into the light that it reflects. And so the journey which the
Son of God began has ended in the light from which he came.
from Lesson 249 in the Workbook
~ A Course in Miracles

For a miracle is now. It stands already there, in present grace, within the only interval of time which sin and fear have overlooked, but which is all there Is to time. The working out of all correction takes no time at all. But acceptance of the working out can seem to take forever.
