The Holy Spirit’s purpose for relationships is to show us that love has no object. It radiates toward everyone and everything. When this is not our experience, the Holy Spirit works with our preferences—for a partner, for a specific life event, for a candy bar—to unwind our mind back to holiness. In relinquishing our attachments to form and trusting in the Holy Spirit’s plan, we find great joy.

Consistently aligning with this purpose of forgiveness takes mind training. When we are living in purpose, we simply accept what is given. The script is written, so we can let go, and allow ourselves to be gently carried down a river of love.
