God’s Peace Is Always Ours

The stillness of the peace of God is mine.

Perhaps we are now ready for a day of undisturbed tranquility. ²If this is not yet feasible, we are content and even more than satisfied to learn how such a day can be achieved. ³If we give way to a disturbance, let us learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. ⁴We need but tell our minds, with certainty, “The stillness of the peace of God is mine,” and nothing can intrude upon the peace that God Himself has given to His Son.

Father, Your peace is mine. ²What need have I to fear that anything can rob me of what You would have me keep? ³I cannot lose Your gifts to me. ⁴And so the peace You gave Your Son is with me still, in quietness and in my own eternal love for You. (A Course in Miracles, W-273. See also ACIM Lesson 273 Insights.)

Only the split mind believes that attack and loss are possible. It is always on edge, alert to defend itself against perceived impending attack. This mind denies the reality of the peace of God.

The mind of our true Self is always at peace. Whenever our peace of mind is disturbed, we need to pause and remind ourselves with all the certainty we can muster, “The stillness of the peace of God is mine.” Thus, we remind ourselves of the truth. God created us, His Son, by sharing all His peace and Love with His Creation. It is ours to accept in every moment.

Being an Extension of God’s Love

Christ’s is the vision I will use today.

Each day, each hour, every instant, I am choosing what I want to look upon, the sounds I want to hear, the witnesses to what I want to be the truth for me. ²Today I choose to look upon what Christ would have me see, to listen to God’s Voice, and seek the witnesses to what is true in God’s creation. ³In Christ’s sight, the world and God’s creation meet, and as they come together all perception disappears. ⁴His kindly sight redeems the world from death, for nothing that He looks on but must live, remembering the Father and the Son; Creator and creation unified.

Father, Christ’s vision is the way to You. ²What He beholds invites Your memory to be restored to me. ³And this I choose, to be what I would look upon today. (A Course in Miracles, . See also ACIM Lesson 271 Insights.W-271)

As long as we value our unique identity over the oneness of our Father’s Love, we will be blind to Love’s Light. We will see only our projections of our wish for differences.

Our forgiveness welcomes Christ’s vision. In every present moment we have the option to let the Holy Spirit help us let go of our attachment to a false identity and open our mind to remember the Love that unites us with our Father. Our true Identity is God’s one Son, the eternal extension of His Love.

Joining Love’s Eternal Extension

Your Son is free, my Father. ²Let me not imagine I have bound him with the laws I made to rule the body. ³He is not subject to any laws I made by which I try to make the body more secure. ⁴He is not changed by what is changeable. ⁵He is not slave to any laws of time. ⁶He is as You created him, because he knows no law except the law of love.

Let us not worship idols, nor believe in any law idolatry would make to hide the freedom of the Son of God. ²He is not bound except by his beliefs. ³Yet what he is, is far beyond his faith in slavery or freedom. ⁴He is free because he is his Father’s Son. ⁵And he cannot be bound unless God’s truth can lie, and God can will that He deceive Himself. (A Course in Miracles, W-277. See also ACIM Lesson 277 Insights.)

Our mistaken identification with the body, separate from all others, is the root of all our perceived problems. The body is the prime instrument of the ego to tempt us into denying the oneness of Love, which is our true Identity.

Love is universally the same, beyond time and form. Love is our Home, our eternal connection with our Father, Who protects us from all harm. Let us let go of our denial of our Father’s Love and join with Him in Love’s eternal extension.

Love Is Our True Identity

In me, God’s holy Son, are reconciled all parts of Heaven’s plan to save the world. ²What could conflict, when all the parts have but one purpose and one aim? ³How could there be a single part that stands alone, or one of more or less importance than the rest? ⁴I am the means by which God’s Son is saved, because salvation’s purpose is to find the sinlessness that God has placed in me. ⁵I was created as the thing I seek. ⁶I am the goal the world is searching for. ⁷I am God’s Son, His one eternal Love. ⁸I am salvation’s means and end as well.

Let me today, my Father, take the role You offer me in Your request that I accept Atonement for myself. ²For thus does what is thereby reconciled in me become as surely reconciled to You. (A Course in Miracles, W-318. See also ACIM Lesson 318 Insights.)

Everyone in this dream world is seeking for Love. The ego directs this search in the world of form, where Love cannot be found. Love cannot be limited to a form; Love is one, changeless and the same throughout, eternally.

This search for Love is actually a search to find our true Self, Which is Love united with the Love of our Creator. As extensions of God’s Love, our function is to extend His Love without limit.

We accept Atonement by forgiving the wish for a separate identity. Forgiveness opens our mind to accept Love as our true Identity. The Love we are sees only the Love that is the truth in everyone.

Remembering Love Is Our Identity

If I accept that I am prisoner within a body, in a world in which all things that seem to live appear to die, then is my Father prisoner with me. ²And this do I believe, when I maintain the laws the world obeys must I obey; the frailties and the sins which I perceive are real, and cannot be escaped. ³If I am bound in any way, I do not know my Father nor my Self. ⁴And I am lost to all reality. ⁵For truth is free, and what is bound is not a part of truth.

Father, I ask for nothing but the truth. ²I have had many foolish thoughts about myself and my creation, and have brought a dream of fear into my mind. ³Today, I would not dream. ⁴I choose the way to You instead of madness and instead of fear. ⁵For truth is safe, and only love is sure. (A Course in Miracles, W-278. See also ACIM Lesson 278 Insights.)

In order to have a unique, special identity, we have imprisoned ourselves in a body in a world where fear and guilt are justified and death seems real. This is not our true Home.

We can unlock our self-made prison doors by choosing to let the Holy Spirit lead us to the truth. Our willingness to accept His help will let the veil of false beliefs be lifted. Peace will return to our troubled mind. We will remember our true Self, which is eternally united in Love with our Father and every brother.

We Are Free to Accept God’s Love Now

Creation’s freedom promises my own.

The end of dreams is promised me, because God’s Son is not abandoned by His Love. ²Only in dreams is there a time when he appears to be in prison, and awaits a future freedom, if it be at all. ³Yet in reality his dreams are gone, with truth established in their place. ⁴And now is freedom his already. ⁵Should I wait in chains which have been severed for release, when God is offering me freedom now?

I will accept Your promises today, and give my faith to them. ²My Father loves the Son Whom He created as His Own. ³Would You withhold the gifts You gave to me? (A Course in Miracles, W-279. See also ACIM Lesson 279 Insights.)

The nature of God’s Love is to give It to all without limit. The wish for specialness is a wish for limits. Differences are established by limits. Limits can only be experienced in dreams that deny God’s gift of all of Himself to His Son.

The Holy Spirit calls us to accept God’s promise of all of His Love. To allow this to happen, the Holy Spirit helps us forgive our mistaken wishes. Forgiveness opens our mind to receive the Love that has been given us since before the dream of time occupied our mind. Love is our true Identity, now and forever.

Awakening from Fear to Love

The Holy Spirit mediates between illusions and the truth. ²Since He must bridge the gap between reality and dreams, perception leads to knowledge through the grace that God has given Him, to be His gift to everyone who turns to Him for truth.

²The Holy Spirit understands the means you made, by which you would attain what is forever unattainable. ³And if you offer them to Him, He will employ the means you made for exile to restore your mind to where it truly is at home.

From knowledge, where He has been placed by God, the Holy Spirit calls to you, to let forgiveness rest upon your dreams, and be restored to sanity and peace of mind. ²Without forgiveness will your dreams remain to terrify you. ³And the memory of all your Father’s Love will not return to signify the end of dreams has come.

Accept your Father’s gift. ²It is a Call from Love to Love, that It be but Itself. ³The Holy Spirit is His gift, by which the quietness of Heaven is restored to God’s beloved Son. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.7.1:1-2;3:2–5:3.)

To experience the specialness we sought, we made a dream filled with false images that made all things appear to be separate and distinct from each other. In this dream we are unaware of our true Identity as Love, united with our Creator.

The Holy Spirit understands the dream we made, but knows it is unreal. He calls to us in our dreams of conflict to forgive our wish for specialness and awaken to the quietness of Heaven. With forgiveness, the memory of our Father’s Love replaces the fearful dream.
