Resting In the Peace of God

Mary:  Jean Weston sent us a delightful little book that she wrote titled “Course Koans.” I have read parts of it and am delighted with the inspiring messages I found. Jean shares with a natural simplicity and it is obvious that the Holy Spirit is working through her as she wrote this book. As all of us gradually awaken, we become part of the Atonement and extend the healing as we are led by the Holy Spirit. I recommend this book highly. You can purchase it online at http://www.lulu.com/content/3100918.

We will eventually include this book in our online bookstore, but that will have to wait until after our move to Florida. Some potential buyers are coming back for the second time this afternoon. So there are indications that the sale may happen before winter. My job right now is to keep my mind aligned with the Holy Spirit and stay in the present moment. I love the quote I read in Jean’s book, as it is very appropriate for me right now.

“I rest in God today, and let Him work in me and through me, while I rest in Him in quiet and in perfect certainty.” (ACIM Workbook, Lesson 120).

Holy Spirit through Sharyn:  Resting in the peace of God is literally doing just that. You cannot be resting in God and have your mind thinking of what’s next or I need to do this or waiting to rush off somewhere, for those are all ego thoughts and it is impossible to rest in God’s peace and have ego thoughts at the same time.

When one lets go of all the ego thoughts of doing in this world, that is when the peace comes. That is when you are truly resting in God. Allow God’s peace and Love to fill your every cell. Just sit with It. Rest in It. Let the fresh waters of peace run over you. You need do nothing. Just rest.

This is all He asks of us. Just rest and allow Him to do any work or anything that you think must be done. You don’t know what needs to be done on your own. Only He knows. Rest in God’s Love and peace today and watch your day unfold in beauty, joy and peace. Amen.

Robert:  It seems that since we first received guidance to move to Florida the whole process has been a concentrated exercise in strengthening my focus on letting Holy Spirit lead in every moment. I have needed to let go of my propensity to plan for the future and focus instead on what is to be done now in the present moment.

Part of this planning urge comes from uncertainty (fear) about the future. The ego believes that if it can plan enough for the future, it can protect against potential danger and harm. Yet the concern about danger comes from past fears and is totally fabricated. Neither the future nor the past exist. So to become secure in the present moment, I need to forgive the past. With a forgiven past, there is no worry about the future and I can be contented in the present, knowing that I am fully cared for by an all encompassing Love Whose only interest is my safety and my happiness. My heart is filled with gratitude.
