Remember
what is helpful to you may or may not be helpful to another.
What you give is
always a gift to yourself.
To be helpful must
demonstrate your faith and confidence and trust in the other.
Treat and talk with
others as you want to be treated and talked with.
True
helpfulness is equal, honest and responsible.
True helpfulness is
respectful and kind.
True helpfulness is
direct, specific and without expectation.
Seek only to be
truly helpful for the highest and best outcome.
Be
truly helpful by giving what you would want to receive.
Reminding you with
Love,

When I speak of helping as in A Course in Miracles “Healer’s Prayer” I am
talking about Serving as in the article below.
This may help to clarify the semantic differences.
I am here only to be truly helpful.
I am here to represent the Love that sent me.
I do not have to worry about what to say or do, because the Love that sent
me will direct me.
I am content to be wherever Love wishes, knowing that Love goes with me.
I will be healed, as I let love teach me to heal.
(I will be helped as I let love teach me to be helpful.)
