The attraction of guilt produces fear of love, for love would never look on guilt at all. It is the nature of love to look upon only the truth, for there it sees itself, with which it would unite in holy union and completion. As love must look past fear, so must fear see love not. For love contains the end of guilt, as surely as fear depends on it. Love is attracted only to love.
Love’s messengers are gently sent, and return with messages of love and gentleness. The messengers of fear are harshly ordered to seek out guilt…
The Holy Spirit has given you love’s messengers to send instead of those you trained through fear. They are as eager to return to you what they hold dear as are the others. If you send [love’s messengers] forth, they will see only the blameless and the beautiful, the gentle and the kind. They will be as careful to let no little act of charity, no tiny expression of forgiveness, no little breath of love escape their notice. (A Course in Miracles, T-19.IV.A.10:1-5;11:1-2;14:1-4. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
Today we practice seeking and finding the truth of Love in our brothers. We let the Holy Spirit guide our vision to see past the ego’s images of fear and guilt. Because we are seeking only Love, we find only Love. As we practice this today, happiness comes with it. Our day is blessed because when we bless and are blessed. O what a happy day!
