Psych. 2 – V. 5 – 8. Jesus: “A brother seeking aid can bring us gifts beyond the heights perceived in any dream. He offers us salvation, for he comes to us as Christ and Savior.
Let us perceive that what our brother asks of us, is asked by God, through him. And what we do for our brother, in his perceived distress, then becomes the gift we give to God. And then the sacred call of God’s holy Son for help cannot fail to be answered by his Father. Yet the Father needs a voice through which to speak His holy Word; a hand to reach His Son and touch his heart.
Who in such a process, be he therapist or patient, could not be healed? This holy interaction is ‘the plan of God,’ Himself, and it is this by which His Son is saved. For two have joined in purpose!
And now God’s promises are kept by Him. The self-imposed limits laid on both the patient and the therapist will count as nothing, for a real healing has begun. What they must initiate by joining their separate interests, the Wholeness of their Father will complete. For He has never asked for more than just the smallest willingness, the least advance, the tiniest of whispers of His Name.
To sincerely ask for help, whatever form it takes, is but to call on Him. And His Answer will come through the ‘therapist’ who best can serve His Son in all his present needs. Perhaps the answer does not seem to be a gift from Heaven. It may even seem at first to be a worsening and not a help. Yet let the outcome not be judged by us!
Somewhere all gifts of God must be received. In time no effort can be made in vain! It is not perfection that is asked in our attempts to heal. If we are in a state in which we think there is a need of healing, we are deceived already! And the truth will come to us only through one who seems at first to share our own dream of sickness. Let us help him to forgive himself for all the trespasses with which he would condemn himself without a cause.
Our brother’s healing is our own! And as we see the sinlessness in him come shining through the veil of guilt that shrouds the Son of God, we will behold in him the face of Christ, and understand that it is but our own.
Let us stand silently before God’s Will, and do what it has chosen that we do! There is one way alone by which we come back to where all dreams began. And it is there that we will lay them down, to come away in peace forever. Hear a brother’s call for help and answer him! It will be God to Whom you answer, for you have called on Him. There is no other way to hear His Voice. There is no other way to seek His Son. There is no other way to remember your Self!
Holy is healing, for the Son of God returns to Heaven through healing’s kind embrace. For healing tells him, in the Voice for God, that all his sins have been forgiven him.”
