There is no will but God’s.
The idea for today can be regarded as the central thought toward which all our exercises are directed. ²God’s is the only Will. ³When you have recognized this, you have recognized that your will is His. ⁴The belief that conflict is possible has gone. ⁵Peace has replaced the strange idea that you are torn by conflicting goals. ⁶As an expression of the Will of God, you have no goal but His.
There is great peace in today’s idea…. ²The idea itself is wholly true. ³Therefore it cannot give rise to illusions. ⁴Without illusions conflict is impossible.”
²There is no will but God’s. ³I cannot be in conflict.
…related thoughts…:
⁵I am at peace.
⁶Nothing can disturb me. ⁷My will is God’s.
⁸My will and God’s are one.
⁹God wills peace for His Son.Joy characterizes peace. ²By this experience [of joy] will you recognize that you have reached it. (A Course in Miracles, W-74.1:1–2:4;3:2–9;6:1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 74 Insights.)
The ego is terrified of God’s Will. Because the ego is the idea of sacrifice, which it demands of others for it to have more, It tells us God demands sacrifice of us. This is classic ego projection.
In truth, God’s Will for us, His extension, is perfect happiness and peace. We share His Will because we are one with what He is. The ego can only offer us conflict, unhappiness and fear. It tries to convince us that the specialness it offers is worth the price. Yet can conflict be worth more than peace? Can a sense of deep loss and sadness be worth more than indescribable joy?
Today we are practicing recognizing the Will we share with God. The affirmations help us recognize the effect of accepting our will as the same as His. Today we move toward recognizing that joy and peace abide in us.
