Healing Trust with Love

by Rev. Peggy Rivera, O.M.C.

There was a time in my life that I could not trust anyone. I was so afraid to open up to people.
Through the Holy Spirit we can learn to trust in Him and through Him we learn to trust ourselves.

Living in fear is one of the greatest ploys the ego has to keep us locked into our need to be in control of the world we create. As long as we listen to the ego we will not be able to find the peace and joy that it takes to heal our ability to trust.

On page 55 of the Text it says, “The ego is afraid of the spirit’s joy, because once you have experienced it you will withdraw all protection from the ego, and become totally without investment in fear. …Listen only to God, Who is as incapable of deception as is the spirit He created. Release yourself and release others. Do not present a false and unworthy picture of yourself to others, and do not accept such a picture of them yourself.” (T-4.I.10:1,5-7)

When I listened to the antics created by my ego, I became fearful and defensive. I thought, to survive in this body on this planet I need to do whatever it takes to do so.

This starts forming early on in our lives and we learn survival skills as children. We react to our world through the projections of those around us. We begin to lose touch with our Creator, our Source, and we start to become bound by an invisible force that winds us tighter and tighter in the darkness of despair. Before you know it you wonder how you got to such a place.

When I quiet my mind and ask God to help me find my way back to His Love, I can hear the sweet kind voice of the Holy Spirit leading me back to the awareness of Who I really am and Who my brothers are. I realize that they also were enmeshed in the ego fears and I could see them differently.

I could pray for them instead of judging them. I could project Love instead of hate. I could see them as our Father sees us — Whole, Love, Joy. Now as I look upon my brothers, I see my reflection. I trust in them as I trust in God.

On page 135 of the Text it says, “The Holy Spirit is perfectly trustworthy, as you are. God Himself trusts you, and therefore your trustworthiness is beyond question.” (T-7.X.6:1-2)

Our Father wants only joy for us. If we are experiencing anything else, it does not belong to us because anything outside of Love does not exist.
