Love Blockages
Those whom you perceive as opponents are part of your peace.
This is such a powerful truism from A Course in Miracles. We think we’d be better off if the people we distrust, despise, or even simply dislike were either no longer part of our life, or better yet, changed their ways.
However, what we miss is that the exact people who “push our buttons” are the ones who can be our greatest teachers. Those “opponents” are part of our path to peace. Precisely because they reflect some internal block to the “awareness of love’s presence”. And our “little willingness” to look there opens huge opportunities for growth.
So let’s think about who we perceive as our opponents and try seeing them through the eyes of oneness, not division.
