ACIM Workbook lesson 68

Love holds no grievances.

A grievance is the sensation of holding on, against your better judgment, to an expectation that is not being met. An expectation is always related to the world of form and appearances and to the past; and so is a grievance.

We have seen that the world as you experience it, is a reflection of what you hold within. Holding on to expectations about the world on the level of form keeps you focused on the level of effect. Love, however, focuses on the level of intent.

Holding on to grievances makes you unhappy on two counts: First, because it keeps you in the loop of feeling indignation, projecting it, seeing proof of the cause for it in the outer world and feeling it again. Second, because it blocks your experience of who you truly are.

You are the idea of Love that moves freely and joyously in and about everything it touches. Love does not hold expectations that can be shattered; It simply shines. And when you tune into It, you will see Its Light reflected all around.
