ACIM T-17.V The Healed Relationship

June 6, 2017

We have now chosen healing for our relationship.  We have asked Spirit to heal and transform our relationship from a “special” relationship to a holy relationship.  Are we willing to see this through?  This is the choice we have made.  Will we stick with it when the going gets a bit uncomfortable?  This is a time when a bit of faith is helpful.

This is the time for faith.  You let this goal be set for you.  That was an act of faith.  Do not abandon faith, now that the rewards of faith are being introduced.  If you believed the Holy Spirit was there to accept the relationship, why would you now not still believe that He is there to purify what Spirit has taken under Its guidance?  Have faith in your brother or sister in what but seems to be a trying time.  The goal is set.  And your relationship has sanity as its purpose.  For now you find yourself in an insane relationship, recognized as such in the light of its goal.   T-17.V.6:1-9

The relationship feels insane because it now has two conflicting purposes in our mind.  The purpose according to our egoic thought system is separation, while the purpose according to Spirit and our healed mind is joining – Oneness.  Is it a wonder that we feel conflicted at this moment?  Have faith and be patient.  Our egoic thought system screams in our mind, “No, don’t allow this relationship to be changed.  Get out of this one and find another that will serve your separation like that one did and no longer can.”  It appears the only way to escape from the distress you feel is to get rid of the one you gave to Spirit for healing.  Do not abandon Spirit now, nor your brother or sister, but have faith that this relationship has been transformed to holiness.  Accept this idea with gladness, even when you do not understand it.  Do not forget, now, the misery your relationship brought you that prompted you to ask for healing and transformation in the first place.  Give Spirit the time and faith to transform your relationship, bringing light and understanding into your mind as you patiently observe the transformation.

We are new at this.  Allow Spirit to guide you in this healing.  This is what we really want.  Spirit will guide us to the holiness we seek with this One, guiding us to the correct form it needs to take for us.  Be vigilant for Spirit’s guidance.  Have faith that it is there and will come when needed.  Our true intent is holy and will come as we allow Spirit to make it so.

Throughout the One Child is the song of freedom heard, in joyous echo of your choice.  You have joined with many in the holy instant, and they have joined with you.  Think not your choice will leave you comfortless, for the One has blessed your holy relationship.  Join in the One’s blessing, and withhold not yours upon it.  For all it needs now is your blessing, that you may see that in it rests salvation.  Condemn salvation not, for it has come to you.  And welcome it together, for it has come to join you and your brothers and sisters together in a relationship in which all the One Child – Oneness – is together blessed.   T-17.V.10:1-7

We undertook this journey of healing together.  We realize that our “special” relationships serve only separation and the loneliness and misery separpation brings us.  Allowing the healing transformation of our relationships brings to our minds the awareness of our wholeness, our completeness and our divine nature in unity with all our brothers and sisters.  Give your relationships to Spirit for healing and allow your divine nature in Oneness to arise in your mind.  Have faith, even when the going gets rough, that Spirit is doing its job and bringing healing to your relationships.
