ACIM Lesson 68
Love holds no grievances.
This morning’s lesson from A Course in Miracles offers a quiet but radical idea:
Love holds no grievances.
At first it sounds simple.
But when I sit with it, I realize how many small grievances quietly live in the mind — old conversations, misunderstandings, moments where I felt unseen or hurt.
The Course suggests that every grievance is a form of forgetting.
When I hold a grievance, I am temporarily forgetting what I am and what the other person truly is.
Love.
That doesn’t mean we pretend difficult things never happened.
It doesn’t mean we stay in situations that aren’t healthy.
But it does mean we loosen our grip on the story that someone’s mistake has the power to define them — or us.
Today I’m experimenting with something softer.
Letting the grievances rest.
Just for a moment.
And noticing how much lighter the mind feels when it remembers that love doesn’t keep score.
A Listening Practice
If it feels natural, you might let this idea continue beyond the words.
Two musical reflections accompany this lesson—
each offering a different way of entering the same truth.
A grounded chant, steady and spacious,
like a quiet return within.
A devotional song,
carrying the feeling of being held in what has never changed.
You might listen to one… or both…
not to understand,
but to let the truth be felt.
There is nothing to achieve here.
Only a willingness to rest…
and allow the remembrance to deepen.
