…we ask to recognize what God has given us. We clear a holy place within our minds before His altar, where His gifts of peace and joy are welcome, and to which we come to find what has been given us by Him. We come in confidence today, aware that what belongs to us in truth is what He gives. And we would wish for nothing else, for nothing else belongs to us in truth.
So do we clear the way for Him today by simply recognizing that His Will is done already, and that joy and peace belong to us as His eternal gifts. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.104.4:1-4;5:1)
God has given us a limitless well of eternal peace and joy. We don’t experience His gift of peace and joy because we have covered it over with layers of illusions of a world of separation. It is like having a piece of property that is on a limitless oil reserve. Just as drilling down can reach the “riches” of oil, we can drill down below the surface appearances of illusions to the richest resource of all — God’s eternal gift of peace and joy.
The mechanism we have been given to pass through the illusions of separation is the Holy Spirit as our Guide to forgiveness. We accept God’s gifts through forgiveness. As we practice bringing all our perceptions, all our thoughts, to the Holy Spirit and asking for His interpretation throughout the day, we move closer to opening the limitless well of peace and joy within. God has a “gusher” of peace and joy waiting for us to accept it!
