We choose what we are willing to see in our relationships. There is nothing wrong with our relationships. This idea may seem hard if we are choosing to see our relationships negatively. Our relationships are holy. They are holy in Oneness and the eyes of the One. There is no other truth. Yet many of our relationships are challenging to us, for we do not see them as they really are. We see them through the perception guided by the idea of separation and limitation with which we have aligned our egoic mind. This distorted view of our relationships causes them to appear as something they are not. As we turn our relationships over to Spirit for healing and transformation, our relationships may and probably will seem to get worse and become more challenging. We have chosen to allow Spirit to change the purpose of our relationships from division to unification. We are all unified in Oneness and therefore the true purpose of our relationships is to reflect our Oneness and extend love and peace to each one.
We have experienced the holy instant in our relationship with our brother or sister. We have glimpsed the forgiveness we have offered and the resulting healing. Yet, if we lose sight of the experience of that instant, we allow time to cover and hide that experience. Our experience of the holy instant must be kept shining and gracious in our awareness of time, but not concealed within it. The instant remains. The gift of the experience of the holy instant is given to us, not only by Spirit, but by the one we are in relationship with. Be grateful to them. Allow your gratitude for them to shine and thus retain the powerfulness of the holy instant in each present moment.
You have received the holy instant, but you may have established a condition in which you cannot use it. As a result, you do not realize that it is with you still. And by cutting yourself off from its expression, you have denied yourself its benefit. You reinforce this every time you attack another, for the attack must blind you to yourself. And it is impossible to deny yourself, and to recognize what has been given and received by you. T-17.V.13:1-5
We all stand together in the holy presence of truth. There are no ifs, ands or buts about this. Heaven rejoices in this truth and because Heaven is within us, the gladness is also ours. We are joined in purpose, but remain still separate and divided on the means. Yet the goal is fixed, firm and unalterable, and the means will surely fall in place because the goal is sure. We will share the gladness of the One Child that it is so.
As you begin to recognize and accept the gifts you have so freely given to another, you will also accept the effects of the holy instant and use them to correct all your mistakes and free you from their results. And learning this, you will have also learned how to release all the One Child, and offer it in gladness and thanksgiving to the One Who gave you your release, and Who would extend it through you. T-17.V.15:1-2
Release your relationships from the limitations with which you have bound them. Release them to Spirit and offer them healing. Allow the experience of the holy instant, where it is revealed that we are all joined in Oneness, to remain in our awareness. The truth of Heaven will stay forefront in our minds and bless us with the rejoicing and gladness of Heaven. The healed nature of our relationships is thus revealed.
