Opening to the Experience of God’s Love and Peace

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.)

If we experience anything but perfect peace, we must be identifying with the ego’s false image of being separate from God and His peace. Any disturbance to our peace is a red flag that warns us we have chosen to believe in a false self-image. It is this false image that must be let go through forgiveness.

True forgiveness needs the help of the Holy Spirit Who recognizes our mistaken identification but knows it is not real. Our willingness to receive the Holy Spirit’s help, God’s Word, is essential for us to clear away the barriers to experience God’s peace and Love as ours. Every judgment stands between the truth of What we are and our awareness of It.

We dedicate today and every day to the practice of opening our minds to the Holy Spirit’s loving lessons that remind us we are God’s Son, innocent, loving and wholly at peace.
