A call for healing and help is easily recognized.

Any behavior we observe or are the brunt of can be classified instantly. It is either the reflection of a loving thought or an appeal for help and healing. Depending on its nature, the behavior triggers in us a response. Too often it will be ill-conceived. If we haven't consulted with the Holy Spirit first, we're letting the ego dictate our response, and the outcome benefits no one.

Isn't there a way to control our behavior? Certainly. And it's not a mystery known only to a few. We have been apprised of the presence of the Holy Spirit within our minds, but we may not have accessed it often. That's not unusual or something to be ashamed of. We're still learning. But we do need to acknowledge the truth of it, and then seek the Spirit's involvement in the preparation of all responses from this moment forth. When we do, no appeal for healing and help will be met with anger or worse.

I can be certain I'll hurt no one today if I consult with the Holy Spirit before taking action.
