In reality, relationships have no conflict. They do not conflict with each other or contain conflict within them. What makes the difference is how we use our relationships. Do we use them to separate for the purpose of division or do we use them to share love? Under the Holy Spirit’s teaching all relationships are seen as total commitments, yet they do not conflict with one another in any way. If conflict is present in any relationship, we have denied Spirit’s teaching and guidance. Relationships can be used to divide or to join together. As we are all One, joined together in Oneness, all relationships are One, joined together in Oneness.
The purpose of every relationship is perfect peace. We probably do not experience perfect peace or even some semblance of peace in every relationship right now. But we can have faith that we can experience peace in our relationships if we allow Spirit to teach us how. We often have other expectations of our relationships. We expect them to complete us. We expect them to bring us something we think we do not have. We expect them to fill a lack we think we have and feel the other must give up something to fill our lack. However, Spirit teaches us that we have no lack just as Spirit teaches others they have no lack. Perfect faith in each relationship, for its ability to satisfy you completely, arises only from perfect faith in yourself and your holiness. We are already holy, and this holiness is within us. We may have difficulty believing this alone, but Spirit is within us waiting for us to allow even the possibility of the idea to enter our mind.
You have so little faith in yourself because you are unwilling to accept the fact that perfect love is in you. And so you seek without for what you cannot find without. I offer you my perfect faith in you, in place of all your doubts. But forget not that my faith must be as perfect in all your sisters and brothers as it is in you, or it would be a limited gift to you. In the holy instant we share our faith in the One Child of God because we recognize, together, that the One Child of God is wholly worthy of it, and in our appreciation of Our worth we cannot doubt Our holiness. And so we love each other. T-15.VI.2.1-6
Love is the true essence of our relationships. Love is the only quality that can be real in our relationships. Anything other than love and peace is mistaken and merely an indication that we have denied the truth about who we are. The remedy is to simply turn to Spirit for guidance.
All separation vanishes as holiness is shared. For holiness is power, and by sharing it, it gains in strength. If you seek for satisfaction in gratifying your needs as you perceive them, you must believe that strength comes from another, and what you gain another loses. Someone must always lose if you perceive yourself as weak. Yet there is another interpretation of relationships that transcends the concept of loss of power completely. T-15.VI.3:1-5
Allow Spirit to teach you another interpretation of relationships. Release your attachment to the ideas of yourself and others you hold so tightly in your mind. Allow Spirit to guide your relationships to transcend the ideas of loss and lack completely. You will find perfect peace and love in the healing of your relationships. The miracle of healed relationships is yours for your willingness to allow them healing.
