Finding Peace and Joy

We will remember, as the hour strikes, our function is to let our minds be healed, that we may carry healing to the world, exchanging curse for blessing, pain for joy, and separation for the peace of God. Is not a minute of the hour worth the giving to receive a gift like this? Is not a little time a small expense to offer for the gift of everything?

Let healing be through you this very day. And as you rest in quiet, be prepared to give as you receive, to hold but what you give, and to receive the Word of God to take the place of all the foolish thoughts that ever were imagined. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 137, W-pI.137.13;15:1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 137 Insights.)

We are all seeking peace and joy. Whether or not we find them depends on which guide we choose to follow. If we choose to follow the ego’s dictates, to believe in separation, we are guaranteed not to find peace or joy. But if we let the Holy Spirit be our Guide with all our thoughts and actions, peace and joy are guaranteed because He will always guide us back to the acceptance of our one Self, the Son of God.

This is all we really want. And we are guaranteed to find it because we are seeking only what is Real. Because we have believed so long in the illusion of separation, we need to be shown the difference between real and unreal. Today we practice keeping our mind open to receive the Holy Spirit’s vision in place of our own perceptions. This is how we learn to recognize reality from illusion. This is how we let our minds be healed.
