Remembering Our Eternal Connection with God

The Will of the Father and of the Son are One, by Their extension. Their extension is the result of Their Oneness, holding Their unity together by extending Their joint Will. This is perfect creation by the perfectly created, in union with the perfect Creator. The Father [Love] must give fatherhood [ability to extend Love] to His Son, because His Own Fatherhood [Love] must be extended outward. You who belong in God have the holy function of extending His Fatherhood by placing no limits upon [Love’s extension]. Let the Holy Spirit teach you how to do this, for you can know what it means only of God Himself.

When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him you will see yourself. As you treat him you will treat yourself. As you think of him you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you will find yourself or lose yourself. Whenever two Sons of God meet, they are given another chance at salvation. Do not leave anyone without giving salvation to him and receiving it yourself. For I am always there with you, in remembrance of you [Love]. (A Course in Miracles, T-8.III.3-4. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Our unbreakable link with God is His Will that we remain united with Him in His eternal extension of Love. To maintain this unity, our true Self, His Son, also extends Love. We claim and maintain our Inheritance by giving Love to all. If we try to keep Love for ourself alone, we lose It because we are denying What It is.

Every encounter with a brother has the potential to be holy if we use it to join with the Love he is. This simultaneously accepts the Love we are. The truth in our brother and ourself is one and the same.

If we see our brother as limited to a body and not one with us, we are disowning our inheritance. We are unaware of the Love we are. The sense of lack this induces causes us to search for the Love we believe we have lost. If we choose the ego as our guide, we will be led to search for Love where It cannot be found. The world will seem to be a place of loneliness, lack and fear of loss.

But we can choose another Guide Who remembers for us our unbreakable connection with our Creator. He will guide us out of the wilderness of lovelessness to return to accepting our eternal unity with every brother in Love. He will teach us how to make every encounter holy.
