The communication link that God Himself placed within you, joining your mind with His, cannot be broken. You may believe you want it broken, and this belief does interfere with the deep peace in which the sweet and constant communication God would share with you is known. Yet His channels of reaching out cannot be wholly closed and separated from Him. Peace will be yours because His peace still flows to you from Him Whose Will is peace. You have it now. The Holy Spirit will teach you how to use [peace], and by extending it, to learn that it is in you. (A Course in MiraclesT-13.XI.8:1-6)
It is helpful for me to remember that I can accept God’s peace and extend God’s peace with willingness. Peace is already mine. Peace belongs to everyone because everyone is in God’s peace and of God’s peace.
Today my focus is on accepting the peace that is already there in my mind, waiting for me to accept it and extend it. As I am willing to focus on peace, everything that is not of peace disappears. I see that the Light and Love of the Holy Spirit are everywhere. It can be felt and seen as I am willing to keep the communication channels open. What happiness this practice brings! What an opportunity I have today. We are all truly blessed with God’s peace.
I don’t have to do anything to earn peace. I don’t have to do anything to get peace. God has already given His peace to everyone. But to experience this peace that is already mine, I need to let go of the barriers I have made that keep it unknown to me.
It’s really quite simple. Judgment blocks awareness of God and the oneness in which I remain in truth. Peace returns to my awareness when I let go of judgment. This is why forgiveness is the central theme of ACIM. It is the key to happiness and peace.
Once again, today is a day for the happy practice of turning over all judgments to the Holy Spirit to let Him judge on my behalf. This is how every moment becomes a lesson in awakening. I am willing to practice today.
