Becoming an Instrument of Healing

Healing, forgiveness, and the glad exchange of all the world of sorrow for a world where sadness cannot enter, are the means by which the Holy Spirit urges you to follow Him. ²His gentle lessons teach how easily salvation can be yours; how little practice you need undertake to let His laws replace the ones you made to hold yourself a prisoner to death. ³His life becomes your own, as you extend the little help He asks in freeing you from everything that ever caused you pain.

And as you let yourself be healed, you see all those around you, or who cross your mind, or whom you touch or those who seem to have no contact with you, healed along with you. ²Perhaps you will not recognize them all, nor realize how great your offering to all the world, when you let healing come to you. ³But you are never healed alone. ⁴And legions upon legions will receive the gift that you receive when you are healed.

Those who are healed become the instruments of healing. (A Course in Miracles, W-137.9:1–11:1. See also ACIM Lesson 137 Insights.)

Do we want to perceive a peaceful world, a happy world, a loving world? Then we need to heal our beliefs about what we are. When we accept the Self God created one with Him, we accept the attributes of His Love — peace, joy and Love. Our perceptions always reflect what we believe we are.

If we experience anything less than perfect peace, joy and limitless Love, we are believing in a false image of what we are. It is time to call upon the Holy Spirit for help to heal the thought in our mind that interferes with our awareness of Love’s presence. That is His function. Our role in the healing of the world, which is the healing of our perceptions, is to be willing to accept the Holy Spirit’s help. He will do the rest.

Today we call upon the Holy Spirit to replace our misperceptions with His true perception. We will see a forgiven world through the His gift of Christ’s vision. This is how we become instruments of healing.
