Do
you not understand that to oppose the Holy Spirit is to fight
yourself?
He tells you
but your will; He speaks for you. In His Divinity is but your own.
And all He knows is but your knowledge, saved for you that you may
do your will through Him.
God asks you
do your will.
He joins with
you. He did not set His kingdom up alone. And Heaven itself but
represents your will, where everything created is for you. No spark
of life but was created with your glad consent, as you would have
it be. And not one Thought that God has ever had but waited for
your blessing to be born.
God is no enemy
to you. He asks no more than that He hear you call Him “Friend.”
How wonderful
it is to do your will! For
that is freedom. There is nothing else that ever should be called
by freedom’s name.
Unless you do
your will, you are not free.
And would God
leave His Son without what he has chosen for himself? God but ensured
that you would never lose your will when He gave you His perfect
answer. Hear it now that you may be reminded of His love and learn
your will. God would not have His Son made prisoner to what he does
not want. He joins with you in willing you be free. And to oppose
Him is to make a choice against yourself and choose that you be
bound.
Look once again
upon your enemy, the one you chose to hate instead of love. For
thus was hatred born into the world, and thus the rule of fear established
there. Now hear God speak to you through Him Who is His Voice and
yours as well, reminding you that it is not your will to hate and
be...
a prisoner
to fear,
a slave to
death,
a little
creature with a little life.
Your will is
boundless; it is not your will that it be bound. What lies in you
has joined with God Himself in all creation’s birth. Remember
Him Who has created you, and through your will created everything.
Not one created thing but gives you thanks, for it is by your will
that it was born. No light of Heaven shines except for you, for
it was set in Heaven by your will.
What cause
have you for anger in a world which merely waits your blessing
to be free?
If you be prisoner,
then God Himself could not be free. For what is done to him whom
God so loves is done to God Himself. Think not He wills to bind
you, Who has made you co-creator of the universe along with Him.
He would but keep your will forever and forever limitless.
This
world awaits the freedom you will give when you have recognized
that you are free.
But you will
not forgive the world until you have forgiven Him Who gave your
will to you. For it is by your will the world is given freedom.
Nor can you be free apart from Him Whose holy Will you share.
God turns to
you to ask the world be saved, for by your own salvation it is healed.
And no one walks upon the earth but must depend on your decision,
that he learn death has no power over him because he shares your
freedom, as he shares your will. It is your will to heal him and
because you have decided with him, he is healed. And now is God
forgiven, for you chose to look upon your brother as a friend.
