Faith and Belief in Holiness

The Holy Spirit sees perception as a means to teach you that the vision of a holy relationship is all you want to see. Then will you give your faith to holiness, desiring and believing in it because of your desire.

Those who would free their brothers from the body can have no fear. They have renounced the means for sin [separation] by choosing to let all limitations be removed. As they desire to look upon their brothers in holiness, the power of their belief and faith goes far beyond the body, supporting vision, not obstructing it. But first they chose to recognize how much their faith had limited their understanding of the world, desiring to place its power elsewhere should another point of view be given them. [There must be a better way.] The miracles that follow this decision are also born of faith. For all who choose to look away from sin are given vision, and are led to holiness. (A Course in Miracles, T-21.III.6:6-7;8:1-6. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

Belief in separation comes from the wish to have a kingdom of our own, which we alone can rule. In our little kingdom, separated off from the whole, we decide what we permit to be present. To maintain our personal kingdom, we must defend it. It seems that there is a never ending stream of threats to our kingdom. And so our little kingdom is a place of fear, no matter how hard we try to fill it with things we think will make us happy. Eventually we all come to a point of recognizing that our little kingdom isn’t working for us; it’s not getting us what we really want.

At this turning point the Holy Spirit is ready and able to use the means we made to build our little kingdom to show us the way leading out of our self-imposed limitation. We have believed in separation and invested our faith in it. But the Holy Spirit can show us where to place our belief and faith that will bring us the peace and joy we really want. Now is the time to follow Holy Spirit’s lead. Now we will be shown what lies beyond limitation to the eternal Love that is what we are. Today we choose to place our faith and belief in holiness.
