Willingness to Accept Holy Spirit’s Help

It has never really entered your mind to give up every idea you ever had that opposes knowledge. You retain thousands of little scraps of fear that prevent the Holy One from entering. Light cannot penetrate through the walls you make to block it, and it is forever unwilling to destroy what you have made. No one can see through a wall, but I can step around it. Watch your mind for the scraps of fear, or you will be unable to ask me to do so. I can help you only as our Father created us. I will love you and honor you and maintain complete respect for what you have made, but I will not uphold it unless it is true. I will never forsake you any more than God will, but I must wait as long as you choose to forsake yourself. Because I wait in love and not in impatience, you will surely ask me truly. I will come in response to a single unequivocal call. (A Course in Miracles, T-4.III.7. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Every image of separation that we believe is real is a scrap of fear that binds us to the ego’s world. It maintains a wall between our true Self, which is united with God and His Love, and what we believe we are. We have been believing in a false image of our self. Fortunately, beliefs can be changed. They are not set in stone, although the ego diligently tries to convince us that they are unchangeable.

To heal the mistaken beliefs that are the basis of our fears, we need help from outside the ego’s fearful world. We have been given the Holy Spirit in our mind to heal these false beliefs. But He cannot heal what we are not willing to have healed.

Today we practice being vigilant to identify our fear based thoughts. We remind ourselves, “This thought is a lie.” We express our willingness to receive the Holy Spirit’s lesson by reminding ourselves, “I am willing to let it go.” This is how we welcome the Holy Spirit’s loving gift of healing.
