The stillness of the peace of God is mine.
Perhaps we are now ready for a day of undisturbed tranquility. ²If this is not yet feasible, we are content and even more than satisfied to learn how such a day can be achieved. ³If we give way to a disturbance, let us learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. ⁴We need but tell our minds, with certainty, “The stillness of the peace of God is mine,” and nothing can intrude upon the peace that God Himself has given to His Son.
Father, Your peace is mine. ²What need have I to fear that anything can rob me of what You would have me keep? ³I cannot lose Your gifts to me. ⁴And so the peace You gave Your Son is with me still, in quietness and in my own eternal love for You. (A Course in Miracles, W-273. See also ACIM Lesson 273 Insights.)
Whenever our peace is disturbed, the cause is a judgment. Having an opinion on our own is hazardous to our health. It separates us from awareness of the Love we are. Separation is built into judgment because we must first see something as different from what we believe we are in order to pass some kind of judgment.
Our true Self is the same unified Love that surrounds us and is the truth in every brother. There are no differences in Love’s oneness. That is why the peace of God is ours. We remain eternally united with our Father in His Love.
Whenever we notice a disturbance of our peace, it is a reminder to step back from our judgments. We can ask for help to return to peace. In the presence of peace, we receive the Holy Spirit’s vision that shows us the true judgment that only Love is real. It shows us that the forms and differences that have disturbed us are not real. In that recognition, we freely let them go. Our tranquility is restored.
