Befriending the Holy Spirit

The extension of the Holy Spirit’s purpose from your relationship to others, to bring them gently in, is the way in which He will bring means and goal in line. The peace He lay, deep within you and your brother, will quietly extend to every aspect of your life, surrounding you and your brother with glowing happiness and the calm awareness of complete protection. And you will carry its message of love and safety and freedom to everyone who draws nigh unto your temple, where healing waits for him.

The Holy Spirit asks that you offer Him a resting place where you will rest in Him. He answered you, and entered your relationship. Would you not now return His graciousness, and enter into a relationship with Him? For it is He Who offered your relationship the gift of holiness, without which it would have been forever impossible to appreciate your brother. (A Course in Miracles T-19.IV.1:5-7;2:4-7)

The Holy Spirit’s purpose is to lead us out of the dream to the full awareness of our oneness in Love. We join with that purpose when we let the peace from deep within us flow through us and embrace everything and everyone. This flow of peace is blocked whenever we judge, so we feel lack of peace. This is why being vigilant for peace is a valuable step toward moving past it. It lets us know that we have made an obstacle to peace that needs to be let go. It is the Holy Spirit’s purpose to help us let it go.

The ego is afraid of the Holy Spirit, for it sees the Holy Spirit as a threat to its existence. When we are aligned with the ego, it seems that the Holy Spirit is asking that we sacrifice what we value. In actuality, the Holy Spirit is our only true Friend, Who will always be honest with us, showing us the deceit of the ego and its meaningless images.

It is time that we befriend the Holy Spirit as He has always befriended us. Let the Holy Spirit be our mighty Companion, Who will guide us truly to the joyful awareness that we are one with Love. Today we walk with our dear Friend, the Holy Spirit, and He will show us the Friend that is in everyone we meet.
