It is God’s strength in you that is the light in which you see, as it is His Mind with which you think. His strength denies your weakness.
The light of strength is constant, sure as love, forever glad to give itself away, because it cannot give but to itself. No one can ask in vain to share its sight, and none who enters its abode can leave without a miracle before his eyes, and strength and light abiding in his heart.
The strength in you will offer you the light, and guide your seeing so you do not dwell on idle shadows that the body’s eyes provide for self-deception. Strength and light unite in you, and where they meet, your Self stands ready to embrace you as Its Own. Such is the meeting place we try today to find and rest in, for the peace of God is where your Self, His Son, is waiting now to meet Itself again, and be as One. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 92, W-pI.92.3:1-2;8-9. See also ACIM Lesson 92 Insights.)
To experience the peace of God, we need to learn to not believe what we see with the body’s eyes. The body is incapable of showing us Reality, being itself an illusion. It is our belief in illusions that blocks our awareness of the Light and strength of our Self.
The Holy Spirit will teach us to look past the appearances of the world to the Light of Love that is everywhere. We need only be willing to bring all our perceptions to the Holy Spirit with willingness to be shown the truth behind the appearance. This is how we learn to accept the Light and strength of our Self and see It in our brothers. This is how we open the door to experience the peace of God.
