Recognizing the Love in Every Brother

That you and your brother are joined is your salvation; the gift of Heaven, not the gift of fear. ²Does Heaven seem to be a burden to you? ³In madness, yes. ⁴And yet what madness sees must be dispelled by reason. ⁵Reason assures you Heaven is what you want, and all you want. ⁶Listen to Him Who speaks with reason, and brings your reason into line with His. ⁷Be willing to let reason be the means by which He would direct you how to leave insanity behind. ⁸Hide not behind insanity in order to escape from reason. ⁹What madness would conceal, the Holy Spirit still holds out for everyone to look upon with gladness.

You are your brother’s savior. ²He is yours. ³Reason speaks happily indeed of this. ⁴This gracious plan was given love by Love. ⁵And what Love plans is like Itself in this: Being united, It would have you learn what you must be. ⁶And being one with It, it must be given you to give what It has given, and gives still. ⁷Spend but an instant in the glad acceptance of what is given you to give your brother, and learn with him what has been given both of you. ⁸To give is no more blessed than to receive. ⁹But neither is it less. (A Course in Miracles, T-21.VI.8–9. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

As God’s Son, we were created as Love. His oneness forever unites Him with His Son, the extension of His Love. The Love we are unites us with every brother in the Sonship God created one with Himself.

We have convinced ourselves that we are not united with our brother, nor anything in the world. We need to have a separate identity in order to experience the specialness we seek. The cost for this unique identity is fear and guilt. The belief that harm and loss is possible was introduced when we wished to be separate.

Beneath the world of separation we have made remains the unifying Love that keeps us safe and brings us joy. The Love that we are remains secure in the oneness of God’s Love. As we learn to let the Holy Spirit teach us to let go of our false images, our brother is recognized as our savior. He shows us the Love that we are. The truth in him speaks messages of Love and oneness to us.

Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s teaching, for we would remember that we remain safe at Home in the Love of God, along with every brother.
