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 [think 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 [in God’s Love] 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 [God’s Kingdom]. 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.)
In this world everyone feels incomplete. Our lives seem to be a constant search for what will complete us or make us whole. We search for this through relationships, status, possessions, even the food we eat. None of these searches succeed because they do not address the cause of the problem.
We have denied our Source of completion. Our searching in the world is directed by the ego, who can only offer unreal substitutes for God’s eternal Love. We will only feel complete when we accept, without reservation, God’s gift of all His Love. This means we accept that we are one with Him. Nothing but His Love exists in truth.
We cannot find our way out of the ego’s closed system of search and not find without the help of God’s Teacher, the Holy Spirit. He is God’s Messenger sent to help us see past the ego’s false substitutes to the presence of Love through Christ’s vision. With His vision, we learn that we have all the Love we need. We are not alone. We lack nothing that is real and nothing unreal has any value. We need to be taught to recognize illusions for what they are. This is the Holy Spirit’s function.
We easily let go of what we no longer value. Without the barrier of the ego’s substitutes for Love, God’s Love enlightens our mind. We awaken to the fact that we are God’s one Son, united with Him eternally, forever dwelling in His joy and peace.
