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 He 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.
