To mean you want the peace of God is to renounce all dreams. ²For no one means these words who wants illusions, and who therefore seeks the means which bring illusions. ³He has looked on them, and found them wanting. ⁴Now he seeks to go beyond them, recognizing that another dream would offer nothing more than all the others. ⁵Dreams are one to him. ⁶And he has learned their only difference is one of form, for one will bring the same despair and misery as do the rest.
This is the choice you make. ²Be not deceived that it is otherwise. ³No compromise is possible in this. ⁴You choose God’s peace, or you have asked for dreams. ⁵And dreams will come as you requested them. ⁶Yet will God’s peace come just as certainly, and to remain with you forever.
For you was peace created, given you by its Creator, and established as His Own eternal gift. ²How can you fail, when you but ask for what He wills for you? ³And how could your request be limited to you alone? ⁴No gift of God can be unshared. ⁵It is this attribute that sets the gifts of God apart from every dream that ever seemed to take the place of truth.
²With Help like this beside us, can we fail today as we request the peace of God be given us? (A Course in Miracles, W-185.5;9:1-6;12:1-5;14:2. See also ACIM Lesson 185 Insights.)
We cannot see anything or anyone as separate from us and know the peace of God. As we go through today, we ask the Holy Spirit to help us see past the forms in the dream to the unity of Love. Where Love is recognized, there can be no judgment. The Love that created us and that we are sees Itself everywhere. Nothing else exists.
As we accept Love’s vision as our own, we will have a happy and peaceful day. We will share that peace with everyone we see or even think about. We will know we have the peace of God.
