‘I rest in God.’ Completely undismayed, this thought will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and pain, past loss and death, and onward to the certainty of God. There is no suffering it cannot heal. There is no problem that it cannot solve. And no appearance but will turn to truth before the eyes of you who rest in God.
This is the day of peace. You rest in God, and while the world is torn by winds of hate your rest remains completely undisturbed. Yours is the rest of truth. Appearances cannot intrude on you. You call to all to join you in your rest, and they will hear and come to you because you rest in God. They will not hear another voice than yours because you gave your voice to God, and now you rest in Him and let Him speak through you. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 109, W-pI.109.3-4. See also ACIM Lesson 109 Insights.)
We have a responsibility to bring peace to the world. God has a plan for each of us to bring us back Home where we rest in God. His plan is not imposed upon us, but freely given. Our responsibility is to accept His plan.
The first step in accepting God’s plan is to take a step back from our involvement in the busyness of the world. Relax… Take a deep breath and let it out easily… Welcome the peace that lies within… peace is our natural state, given us in our Creation… Rest in this peace, rest in God…
As we are able to welcome and accept this peace, we are open to receive God’s plan, to receive inspiration for how to be truly helpful. With this inspiration, we will bring peace to the world in the present moment and situation. This is our part in God’s plan to bring peace to the world. The form it takes in the world will vary according to the present need. It may be simply being quiet and holding the awareness of peace. It may be doing something in the world or saying something to someone. It may be holding awareness of the truth in a brother we think of. Our responsibility is simply to receive and act on the inspiration from the wisdom within. This is how we become a truly helpful activist for God’s plan for the salvation of the world.
