I want the peace of God.
To say these words is nothing. But to mean these words is everything. If you could but mean them for just an instant, there would be no further sorrow possible for you in any form; in any place or time. Heaven would be completely given back to full awareness, memory of God entirely restored, the resurrection of all creation fully recognized.
You choose God’s peace, or you have asked for dreams. And dreams will come as you requested them. Yet will God’s peace come just as certainly, and to remain with you forever.
How can you fail, when you but ask for what He wills for you? And how could your request be limited to you alone? No gift of God can be unshared. It is this attribute that sets the gifts of God apart from every dream that ever seemed to take the place of truth. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 185, W-pI.185.1;9:4-6;12:2-5. See also ACIM Lesson 185 Insights.)
If we truly want the peace of God, we have to give up the thoughts that disturb our peace. We have to give up judgment and defense. We have to give up identifying with a body as what we are or anyone else is. The body is the focus of all judgment and guilt.
As we let Holy Spirit’s vision show us the truth of what everyone is beyond the forms, we experience automatic joining in the oneness of the Self that God created. When we realize that there is nothing external to us that is real, the experience of the peace of God is inevitable. We know that nothing external to the one Self we share exists. We share God’s Love in perfect peace. When we want only the peace of God, we want to remember our reality in Heaven. With Holy Spirit’s help today we will see past the appearances of form to the oneness of Love we all share.
