All your relationships are blessed in the holy instant, because the blessing is not limited. In the holy instant the Sonship gains as one, and united in your blessing it becomes one to you. The meaning of love is the meaning God gave to it. Give [love] any meaning apart from His, and it is impossible to understand it. God loves every brother as He loves you; neither less nor more. He needs them all equally, and so do you. In time, you have been told to offer miracles as I direct, and let the Holy Spirit bring to you those who are seeking you. Yet in the holy instant you unite directly with God, and all your brothers join in Christ. Those who are joined in Christ are in no way separate. For Christ is the Self the Sonship shares, as God shares His Self with Christ.
Think you that you can judge the Self of God? God has created It beyond judgment, out of His need to extend His Love. With love in you, you have no need except to extend it. In the holy instant there is no conflict of needs, for there is only one. For the holy instant reaches to eternity, and to the Mind of God. And it is only there love has meaning, and only there can it be understood. (A Course in Miracles, T-15.V.10-11. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
Christ is the Self we share with everyone. Christ’s vision sees only Itself in everyone. To know our Self, we must join with Christ’s vision and see as It sees. Being the vision of Love, Christ’s vision sees only innocence, for It sees only Love. The practice of holding our hearts and minds open to the vision of our true Self will bring us the experience of the peace and joy of God.
If we see anyone as an adversary, it is our call for Love because we are denying the oneness of Love’s presence. Feeling offended or threatened or guilty is a sign that we made to ask for the Holy Spirit’s help to rise above appearances and see only Love. Each time we accept this vision, we bring a gift to the world and to ourselves. We become a conduit for the extension of Love and the unification of the one Self we share, Christ.
