There is a peace that Christ bestows on us.
Who uses but Christ’s vision finds a peace so deep and quiet, undisturbable and wholly changeless, that the world contains no counterpart. Comparisons are still [silent] before this peace. And all the world departs in silence as this peace envelops it, and gently carries it to truth, no more to be the home of fear. For love has come, and healed the world by giving it Christ’s peace.
Father, the peace of Christ is given us, because it is Your Will that we be saved. Help us today but to accept Your gift, and judge it not. For it has come to us to save us from our judgment on ourselves. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 305, W-pII.305. See also ACIM Lesson 305 Insights.)
The ego judges God’s gift of Love as inadequate because it does not offer the specialness the ego demands. Having identified with the ego, we need the help of the Holy Spirit to heal the ego’s judgments which we have embraced as our own. These judgments make the world of separation seem real.
As we consistently practice asking the Holy Spirit to reinterpret our perception with Christ’s vision, we learn that the ego’s judgments are not our own. They stand as a barrier to our awareness of God’s gift of Love. With the help of Christ’s vision, we overlook the ego’s interpretations and see the face of Love’s innocence in every brother. Our hearts join together in the oneness of Love.
It is this joining that heals and saves the world. We recognize that God’s Love is everything we want and need. The ego offers us nothing of value, for it only offer illusions. Now we seek only the truth. We seek to accept God’s Love as What we are. Here we find the undisturbable peace of God.
