Peace On Earth. Goodwill Towards All Men

Mary:  As I let my mind quiet and ask for inspiration from the Holy Spirit, I hear the words, “Peace on earth. Goodwill towards all men.” The way I receive peace is to very quietly allow peace to fill my mind. As I receive peace, I naturally extend peace. I am naturally led to seeing the truth beyond the false images of the world. The constant truth of God’s peace is always there to receive and extend as I am willing to become aware of it. I am learning that this is the true meaning of Christmas.

The Spirit of Christ is always very quiet and is filled with a joy that does not come and go with the earth’s constantly changing scenarios. Peace is the gift I am willing to receive and give. Amen.

Robert:  The face of Christ is a symbol for the recognition of innocence in all our brothers. In truth we are one Self. There is no “other” to see. But while we believe we are in a world of separate bodies, we need a symbol that represents the recognition that everyone is in truth Love and nothing else. Everyone is in truth innocent. And most importantly, that “everyone” includes ourselves.

For many it seems the hardest to forgive is ourselves. And so we practice forgiving what appears to be “others” and gradually we recognize that when we forgive others, we are forgiving ourselves. In truth the appearance of others is simply a reflection of our own beliefs, an outward projection of an inward condition. As we learn to see the face of Christ with the help of the Holy Spirit in our minds, we learn to see all things as Holy Spirit sees. Christ is reborn in our minds each time we look past appearances in form to see innocence and eternal Love.

Let this season be a reminder to renew our vigilance to see all things through Holy Spirit’s vision. Thus will Christ be born again within.
