Learning to Always Give Love

It is surely good advice to tell you not to judge what you do not understand. ²No one with a personal investment is a reliable witness, for truth to him has become what he wants it to be. ³If you are unwilling to perceive an appeal for help as what it is, it is because you are unwilling to give help and to receive it. ⁴To fail to recognize a call for help is to refuse help. ⁵Would you maintain that you do not need it? ⁶Yet this is what you are maintaining when you refuse to recognize a brother’s appeal, for only by answering his appeal can you be helped. ⁷Deny him your help and you will not recognize God’s Answer to you. ⁸The Holy Spirit does not need your help in interpreting motivation, but you do need His.

Only appreciation is an appropriate response to your brother. ²Gratitude is due him for both his loving thoughts and his appeals for help, for both are capable of bringing love into your awareness if you perceive them truly. ³And all your sense of strain comes from your attempts not to do just this. ⁴How simple, then, is God’s plan for salvation. ⁵There is but one response to reality, for reality evokes no conflict at all. ⁶There is but one Teacher of reality, Who understands what it is. ⁷He does not change His Mind about reality because reality does not change. ⁸Although your interpretations of reality are meaningless in your divided state, His remain consistently true. ⁹He gives them to you because they are for you. ¹⁰Do not attempt to “help” a brother in your way, for you cannot help yourself. ¹¹But hear his call for the Help of God, and you will recognize your own need for the Father. (A Course in Miracles, T-12.I.5:1–6:11. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Our every attempt to judge another or a situation is a call for help. Our judgment is always based on a perception of differences, which are not real. If we are mindful to recognize our judgmental thoughts, we have an opportunity to answer the call for Love. We may perceive it as someone’s else’s call for help, it is also our own. It is an opportunity to let the Holy Spirit show us the truth beyond our perception. We will learn that only Love is there, and that we are only Love as well.

We dedicate today to being mindful to answer calls for help with Love. As we accept the Holy Spirit’s help to answer truly, we learn that we are Love and nothing else. As we bless, we are blessed.
