Gratitude for the Oneness of Love

If you were one with God and recognized this oneness, you would know His power is yours.

This is the function of your holy relationship. ²For what one thinks, the other will experience with him. ³What can this mean except your mind and your brother’s are one? ⁴Look not with fear upon this happy fact, and think not that it lays a heavy burden on you. ⁵For when you have accepted it with gladness, you will realize that your relationship is a reflection of the union of the Creator and His Son. ⁶From loving minds there is no separation. ⁷And every thought in one brings gladness to the other because they are the same. ⁸Joy is unlimited, because each shining thought of love extends its being and creates more of itself. ⁹There is no difference anywhere in it, for every thought is like itself.

The light that joins you and your brother shines throughout the universe, and because it joins you and him, so it makes you and him one with your Creator. ²And in Him is all creation joined. ³Would you regret you cannot fear alone, when your relationship can also teach the power of love is there, which makes all fear impossible? ⁴Do not attempt to keep a little of the ego with this gift [of the holy relationship]. ⁵For it was given you to be used, and not obscured. ⁶What teaches you that you cannot separate denies the ego. ⁷Let truth decide if you and your brother be different or the same, and teach you which is true. (A Course in Miracles, T-22.VI.12:1;14-15. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The holy relationship teaches us through experience of the oneness of Love. We find joy in the holy relationship because of the oneness we experience. We do not see differences, only Love. There is no fear in the holy relationship because without perception of differences, there is nothing to fear.

As we forgive our belief in differences, conflict falls away. We join with our brother in Love. As we give the gift of forgiveness, joy overflows as the oneness of Love is experienced. The joy we find in the relationship where forgiveness prevails teaches us of our relationship with our Creator.

When we give the gift of forgiveness to our brother, we receive the gift of joy and peace, for differences are forgotten. We are grateful for the Love that forever unites us with our brother and our Creator.
