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 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.)
We don’t have to wait for peace. We only need to accept the gift God has already given us. Christ and our true Self are one and the same. The world we experience as a body is the effect of refusing God’s gift. Being the denial of truth, this world is loveless and filled with conflict.
We have the means to escape from this fearful, loveless world. We can turn to the peace of our true Self. It is in us now. We access it by stepping back from our investment in the world’s appearances.
Take a deep breath and relax. Call upon the Christ in our mind, the truth of the Self God created one with Him. Here is the Home of peace. As we let this peace flow across our mind, the Light of Love dispels the dark shadows of the ego’s denial. Love brings peace to our troubled mind and we see beyond the forms to the presence of Love. The appearance of conflict and loss fades into the distance as the peace, joy and Love of our Self steps forward. We remember our eternal safety in God.
