Your brother’s sinlessness is given you in shining light, to look on with the Holy Spirit’s vision and to rejoice in along with Him. For peace will come to all who ask for it with real desire and sincerity of purpose, shared with the Holy Spirit and at one with Him on what salvation is. Be willing, then, to see your brother sinless, that Christ may rise before your vision and give you joy. And place no value on your brother’s body, which holds him to illusions of what he is. It is his desire to see his sinlessness, as it is yours. And bless the Son of God in your relationship, nor see in him what you have made of him. (A Course in Miracles, T-20.VIII.3)
The greatest gift we can give to any brother is to be willing to see him as the Holy Spirit sees him. In truth he is still the pure Light of Love that God created him to be. This is the season of gift giving. Let’s focus on giving every brother the only thing that matters to his freedom and ours. Let’s commit to giving every brother his full due by seeing the truth in him. The truth is every brother is innocent, and so are we. Every brother is pure spirit.
What more valuable gift could we extend this holiday season? The only cost is our willingness to let go of our false images and to see with the vision the Holy Spirit shares with us. It is a gift we give ourselves as well. This is how we bring “peace on earth and good will toward all men.” What a happy holiday season we have before us to receive and give the vision of innocence.
