In peace I was created. And in peace do I remain. It is not given me to change my Self. How merciful is God my Father, that when He created me He gave me peace forever. Now I ask but to be what I am. And can this be denied me, when it is forever true?
Father, I seek the peace You gave as mine in my creation. What was given then must be here now, for my creation was apart from time, and still remains beyond all change. The peace in which Your Son was born into Your Mind is shining there unchanged. I am as You created me. I need but call on You to find the peace You gave. It is Your Will that gave it to Your Son. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 230, W-pII.230. See also ACIM Lesson 230 Insights.)
Peace is our birthright. If we are not experiencing deep peace and happiness, we are denying our inheritance. In its place we have accepted the insane belief that it is possible to be separate and alone. We want this to be true because if it were, it would be possible to have special things that we could call our own to make us unique. We want to have a domain we can call our own because we think this domain will give us what we want. But this treasured domain comes with a price — lack of peace.
In a world where differences appear real, the things we value can be changed. It is an unstable world where certainty is impossible and happiness is fleeting at best. This is what we choose when we deny our inheritance by believing we are separate from our Source. We reclaim our inheritance by choosing to accept God’s gift of Love. His Will for us is perfect happiness and Love without end.
Today we practice choosing His Love by letting Love guide all our perceptions. Love will show us our unity with every brother. Whenever an attack is perceived, Love recognizes it as a call for Love and answers with kindness and gentleness.
