Is It Love or a Call for Love?

⁸To order is to judge, and to arrange by judgment. ⁹Therefore it is not your function, but the Holy Spirit’s.

The only judgment involved is the Holy Spirit’s one division into two categories; one of love, and the other the call for love. ²You cannot safely make this division, for you are much too confused either to recognize love, or to believe that everything else is nothing but a call for love. ³You are too bound to form, and not to content. ⁴What you consider content is not content at all. ⁵It is merely form, and nothing else. ⁶For you do not respond to what a brother really offers you, but only to the particular perception of his offering by which the ego judges it.

⁴Every interpretation you would lay upon a brother is senseless. ⁵Let the Holy Spirit show him to you, and teach you both his love and his call for love. ⁶Neither his mind nor yours holds more than these two orders of thought.

The miracle is the recognition that this is true. ²Where there is love, your brother must give it to you because of what it is. ³But where there is a call for love, you must give it because of what you are. (A Course in Miracles, T-14.X.5:8-9;7;11:4–12:3. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Perception of differences requires belief that forms have meaning. There are no differences (forms) in the oneness of God’s Love. We depend on the body’s senses to inform us about our world. But these senses are incapable of helping us know the oneness of God’s Love. Thus we are incapable of correctly judging anything in our world.

It is time to let the Holy Spirit judge all things on our behalf. He sees all things as fitting into one of two categories: Love or a call for Love. If we let Him, He will help us recognize the Love our brothers offer us. And He will help us answer our brothers’ call for Love with Love. This is our sole purpose in this world.
