Empathy

Empathy:

empathy, in it's truest form is to meet everybody in this holy moment, free of past concerns, and recognizing only the light that's shared between us. A Course in Miracles reminds me that to join in someone's suffering only makes it real and doesn't serve to offer comfort. My tasks is to see beyond the illusion of anguish, even as I hold them through their pain, not trying to dispel their belief in suffering with the use of words, but only to be a loving presence. If words are needed, they will be provided, whatever comfort is required will be brought by the Holy Spirit. 

I need do nothing. 

my prayer is to be truly helpful, to bring light and healing through the presence of the Holy Spirit, and for this to happen I must relinquish any thoughts of having control. This is the empathy of meeting someone's pain empty of judgement, not being there to fix them, yet not believing in their brokenness either. I am not there to heal....but to facilitate a healing. 

my only function is forgiveness. 

and it brings a healing light to every situation. 

I need do nothing,

but to allow this healing to occur.

I love you, Eric
