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…. What fear would feed upon, love overlooks. What fear demands, love cannot even see.… What love would look upon is meaningless to fear, and quite invisible.
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 them 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. And they will return with all the happy things they found, to share them lovingly with you. Be not afraid of them. They offer you salvation. Theirs are the messages of safety, for they see the world as kind. (A Course in Miracles, T-19.IV.A.11:1-2,4-5,7;14. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
Which voice do we want to follow? The ego will always guide us to see guilt and cause for fear. It shows us an embattled world, which we must defend against. We do not have to follow this guide.
The Holy Spirit guides us to see the Love that is ever present, everywhere behind the ego’s false images of fear. As we let Holy Spirit guide our seeing, we see Love, kindness, gentleness and safety. We see a world that blesses and we extend the blessing freely and lovingly. Which guide do we choose? Our choice will determine what we experience.
