As peace extends from deep inside yourself to embrace all the Sonship and give it rest, [peace] will encounter many obstacles. Some [obstacles] you will try to impose. Others will seem to arise from elsewhere; from your brothers, and from various aspects of the world outside. Yet peace will gently cover [these obstacles], extending past completely unencumbered. The extension of the Holy Spirit’s purpose from your relationship to others, to bring them gently in, is the way in which He will bring means and goal in line. The peace He lay, deep within you and your brother, will quietly extend to every aspect of your life, surrounding you and your brother with glowing happiness and the calm awareness of complete protection. (A Course in Miracles T-19.IV.1:1-6)
When we are willing to accept Holy Spirit’s precious gift of peace, a sense of well-being and inner contentment comes with it. The beingness of our true Identity as the Spirit of Love comes with accepting peace. The fearful stories of vulnerability, weakness and death fall away. We know that we are safe in the certainty of God’s changeless Love.
As we become more willing to claim the peace of our true Identity, our trust in God replaces our misplaced trust in the ego’s false stories based on being separate from God. Our trust in the Spirit of Love we are shines away the old and tired attraction to the false images of separation from our Source. We value the peace of our true Identity more than we value the ever-changing fearful stories of sickness, vulnerability and death. The peace of our true Identity helps us see past bodies to the Spirit of Love that is eternal everywhere. We let peace embrace the whole Sonship and give it rest from all the turmoil of the world. We put peace first today.
