Grace is acceptance of the Love of God within a world of seeming hate and fear. ²By grace alone the hate and fear are gone, for grace presents a state so opposite to everything the world contains, that those whose minds are lighted by the gift of grace can not believe the world of fear is real.
Oneness is simply the idea God is. ²And in His Being, He encompasses all things. ³No mind holds anything but Him. ⁴We say “God is,” and then we cease to speak, for in that knowledge words are meaningless. ⁵There are no lips to speak them, and no part of mind sufficiently distinct to feel that it is now aware of something not itself. ⁶It has united with its Source. ⁷And like its Source Itself, it merely is.
³What is the face of Christ but his who went a moment into timelessness, and brought a clear reflection of the unity he felt an instant back to bless the world?
Be grateful to return, as you were glad to go an instant, and accept the gifts that grace provided you. ²You carry them back to yourself. (A Course in Miracles, W-169.2:1-2;5;13:3;14:1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 169 Insights.)
Everyone in this world seeks for peace in some way. If they seek for it in the world, they seek by inappropriate means. Peace cannot be found where oneness is denied.
Our search for peace comes from the longing of our true Self to return to Its natural state, at one with all in the Love of God. Only in Love’s oneness can true peace be found. We will awaken to this recognition through forgiving the wish for specialness that makes the world we seem to live in. The wish for specialness appears in many forms, but they only represent that wish.
We call upon the Holy Spirit today to help us recognize the manifestations of the wish for specialness and forgive them. We would be messengers of peace to bring healing to the world. Thus we awaken to the Will we share with God. We remember Love.
