⁴Fear not to give redemption over to your Redeemer’s Love. ⁵He will not fail you, for He comes from One Who cannot fail. ⁶Accept your sense of failure as nothing more than a mistake in who you are. ⁷For the holy host of God is beyond failure, and nothing that he wills can be denied. ⁸You are forever in a relationship so holy that it calls to everyone to escape from loneliness, and join you in your love. ⁹And where you are must everyone seek, and find you there.
Think but an instant on this: God gave the Sonship to you, to ensure your perfect creation. ²This was His gift, for as He withheld Himself not from you, He withheld not His creation. ³Nothing that ever was created but is yours. ⁴Your relationships are with the universe. ⁵And this universe, being of God, is far beyond the petty sum of all the separate bodies you perceive. ⁶For all its parts are joined in God through Christ, where they become like to their Father. ⁷Christ knows of no separation from His Father, Who is His one relationship, in which He gives as His Father gives to Him.
⁴Leave, then, what seems to you to be impossible, to Him Who knows it must be possible because it is the Will of God. ⁵And let Him Whose teaching is only of God teach you the only meaning of relationships. ⁶For God created the only relationship that has meaning, and that is His relationship with you. (A Course in Miracles, T-15.VIII.3:4–4:7;6:4-6. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
Our sense of failure is only the effect of our belief in a mistaken identity. We are not alone and separate; we are not a body. We have not broken our eternal connection with our Creator. We live and have our being in the universe of His Love.
To remember our true relationship with our Father, we need to undo our belief in a false identity. We have been given the Holy Spirit to help us let go of our mistaken beliefs. Every time our serenity and happiness seems to be disturbed is an opportunity to turn to Him for help.
We can pause and quiet our mind. As we relax and focus on the peace within, we open our mind to His loving vision. We are helped to see past appearances to the eternal Love that unites us with every brother and our Father.
