Returning to the Serenity of Our True Self

Only an instant does this world endure.

This is a thought which can be used to say that death and sorrow are the certain lot of all who come here, for their joys are gone before they are possessed, or even grasped. ²Yet this is also the idea that lets no false perception keep us in its hold, nor represent more than a passing cloud upon a sky eternally serene. ³And it is this serenity we seek, unclouded, obvious and sure, today.

We seek Your holy world today. ²For we, Your loving Sons, have lost our way a while. ³But we have listened to Your Voice, and learned exactly what to do to be restored to Heaven and our true Identity. ⁴And we give thanks today the world endures but for an instant. ⁵We would go beyond that tiny instant to eternity. (A Course in Miracles,W-300. See also ACIM Lesson 300 Insights.)

In our quest for serenity, we need to follow a guide who knows where it is. While we are invested in the ego thought system, we are choosing a guide that knows neither where it is nor what it is. By the grace of God, we have been given Guide in our mind Who knows God’s serenity. His mission is to guide us to find the only serenity that exists in truth.

Today we ask the Holy Spirit to help us let go of our mistaken perceptions which disturb our innate serenity. We are willing to return to our Home where peace is eternal and Love extends forever.
