Taking Holy Spirit’s Helpful Hand

Free your brother here, as I freed you. Give him the selfsame gift, [and do not] look upon him with condemnation of any kind. See him as guiltless as I look on you, and overlook the sins he thinks he sees within himself.

Together we will disappear into the Presence beyond the veil, not to be lost but found; not to be seen but known. …This is the journey’s purpose, without which is the journey meaningless. Here is the peace of God, given to you eternally by Him. Here is the rest and quiet that you seek, the reason for the journey from its beginning. Heaven is the gift you owe your brother, the debt of gratitude you offer to the Son of God in thanks for what he is, and what his Father created him to be.

As he is seen as either the giver of guilt or of salvation, so will his offering be seen and so received. The crucified give pain because they are in pain. But the redeemed give joy because they have been healed of pain. (A Course in Miracles, T-19.IV.D.18:1-3;19:1,3-6;20:2-4. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

Trying to find meaning in the values of the world is like being stuck in the mud and spinning our wheels. The more we spin our wheels the deeper we dig ourselves into the quagmire of fear and guilt. But there is a way to find meaning in the world. Meaning comes with fulfilling our purpose, which is to learn to see our brother as the Son of God He is.

The Holy Spirit is ever present to help us learn to see with Christ’s vision, to see our brother’s innocence and the gift of salvation he offers us. Salvation is freedom from the self-imposed limitation of believing we are separate and alone. The Holy Spirit is always offering us a hand to lift us out of the quagmire of the world and bring us to the Light of Heaven. Now is the time to choose to take His Hand. And joy will be His gift.
