In Peace We Hear God’s Voice

If you will lay aside the ego’s voice, however loudly it may seem to call; if you will not accept its petty gifts that give you nothing that you really want; if you will listen with an open mind, that has not told you what salvation is; then you will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in power, strong in stillness, and completely certain in Its messages.

Listen, and hear your Father speak to you through His appointed Voice, which silences the thunder of the meaningless, and shows the way to peace to those who cannot see. ²Be still today and listen to the truth.

Be not afraid today to circumvent the voices of the world. ²Walk lightly past their meaningless persuasion. ³Hear them not. ⁴Be still today and listen to the truth. ⁵Go past all things which do not speak of Him Who holds your happiness within His Hand, held out to you in welcome and in love. ⁶Hear only Him today, and do not wait to reach Him longer. ⁷Hear one Voice today.

…reinforce your choice to hear and to receive the Word by this reminder, given to yourself as often as is possible today:

³Let me be still and listen to the truth.
⁴I am the messenger of God today, my voice is His,
to give what I receive. (A Course in Miracles, W-106.1:1–2:2;3;10:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 106 Insights.)

We have trained ourselves to listen to a voice that always lies to us. It denies the truth that only Love is real. But we have convinced ourselves that the ego’s voice is real because it offers us a substitute world that seems to make us special.

But though the ego speaks first and loudly, the Holy Spirit’s Voice remains in our mind. This Voice is heard when we quiet our mind and accept the peace that dwells within us. Peace is the gateway that leads us past the ego’s substitute world.

In peace God’s Voice speaks only the truth to us. It teaches us that only Love is real and shows us how to recognize Love’s presence. When we feel loveless, lonely and afraid, He shows us the Love that remains untouched by the shadow of the ego’s denial.

Today we frequently pause to remind ourselves that only Love is real and everyone is Love in truth. As we accept this fact, we become messengers of Love in the world.
