The Gift of Peace

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Rest in Me. Rest in Me. Rest in Me. Let go of all your planning for your safety and comfort. I bring God’s plan to you with the sole intent of bringing you to perfect happiness, perfect safety and perfect peace. This plan will work; yours will not. Lay down your defenses against an imagined future.

Join with Me and receive the only plan that will bring you Home to your Self. This is what you really want. Nothing else will content you. This gift I offer you in every moment. Accept it now and be you blessed.

Robert:
I see myself being given a gift-wrapped box. I accept it and hold it to my heart. I know what is inside. Yet I want to hold it for awhile as if to prepare myself to fully accept what has been given me. I hold it quietly, feeling its comfort. Now I untie the bow and take off the lid.

There is no form inside the box, but as the lid comes off, I feel a wave of profound peace flow over me. I rest in it. This is all I ever wanted. I have it now and I realize I have always had it. I choose to deny it no longer. I choose to welcome it. And I realize that to keep it I must share it.

I am guided to prepare a variety of gift boxes. Each appears to be a little different, but they all have the same content. I put all the boxes in a sack and carry it with me. With my heart overflowing with joy, I hand out the boxes and I see that the form of the box is just the form that is easily received. The more I give, the greater the joy overflowing. I realize there is an unlimited supply of boxes. My only job is to share them, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to share.


Mary:
Right now I ask myself, “How willing am I to accept the truth? Am I willing to accept the truth that I am still as God created me? Or do I still want to insist that my replacement for God’s Will is true?” If I am truly honest with myself, I will come to a place where I remember that separate bodies are not real, and that Love’s formless oneness is universally true. This is what letting go and letting God means. Either I will judge for myself what is true, or I will make no judgments on my own and accept what the Holy Spirit shows me is eternally true.

My path to accepting the truth is to open my mind to accept God’s Gift of peace and quiet inner joy. There are no expectations here, for this holy place in my mind is timeless, with no past or future. I just open my mind to accepting God’s peace and all that I truly need and want is given me. Today is a day of accepting God’s peace. Today is a day of quiet following, letting my mind rest in the truth of What I am and Where I am always. Today is a day of letting go and letting God be in charge.
