Wow! Good! THE HOLY ENCOUNTER When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him, you will see yourself. As you treat him, you will treat yourself. As you think of him, you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you will find yourself or lose yourself. --A Course In Miracles Our neuroses in relationships usually stem from our having an agenda for another person, or for the relationship itself. Its not our job to try to make a relationship into something we think it should be. If someone doesnt behave like a great romantic partner, then perhaps theyre not meant to be that for us. That doesnt make them wrong. Not every relationship is meant to be the ultimate romance. If the train doesnt stop at your station, its not your train. The ego seeks to use a relationship to fill our needs as we define them; the Holy Spirit asks that the relationship be used by God to serve His purposes. And His purpose is always that we might learn how to love others more purely. We love purely when we release other people to be who they are. The ego seeks intimacy through control and guilt, The Holy Spirit seeks intimacy through acceptance and release. In the holy relationship, we dont seek to change someone, but rather to see how beautiful they already are. Our prayer becomes Dear God, take the scales from in front of my eyes. Help me to see my brothers beauty. It is our failure to accept people exactly as they are that gives us pain in a relationship. Words By: Marianne Williamson (A Return to Love)
