This day I choose to spend in perfect peace.
It does not seem to me that I can choose to have but peace today. And yet, my God assures me that His Son is like Himself. Let me this day have faith in Him Who says I am God’s Son. And let the peace I choose be mine today bear witness to the truth of what He says. God’s Son can have no cares, and must remain forever in the peace of Heaven. In His Name, I give today to finding what my Father wills for me, accepting it as mine, and giving it to all my Father’s Sons, along with me.
And so, my Father, would I pass this day with You. Your Son has not forgotten You. The peace You gave him still is in his mind, and it is there I choose to spend today. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 255, W-pII.255. See also ACIM Lesson 255 Insights.)
Peace in the world seems impossible today. Stories of sickness and death dominate the news. Yet within us, beneath all these appearances, remains God’s peace. God gave His Son all of What He Is — His Love, peace and joy. The Truth in us, the one Self we all share, is God’s Son. God guarantees His gift, never to be withdrawn. His gift is unknown to us only because we have hidden it beneath the ego’s dream that denies God’s Love.
Sickness, pain and death are instruments of the ego made to frighten us into believing these appearances are real. Though the Love of God remains forever present, we need to follow the Guide He gave us to lead us out of the ego’s dream of lovelessness. We have not lost God’s gift, only hidden it from our awareness.
Today we choose to accept the Holy Spirit’s help to recognize the dream for what it is and overlook it. The Holy Spirit will guide us out of the wilderness of the ego’s dreams to remember our true Self, God’s Son at Home in Heaven now. We welcome the Holy Spirit’s vision to help us look upon a forgiven world where we recognize the peace of Heaven within.
