The Peace of God Is My One Goal

Robert:
Follow, follow, follow. This is my lesson du jour. It is an ongoing lesson that will be the core focus for the rest of my life. It seems to be a challenging lesson because of a long established habit of thinking I know what to do on my own. This is simply the acting out of the ego’s prime tenet: seek and do not find.

Attempting to make plans on my own is really just a way of avoiding God’s Love. Thinking I know anything in the world closes the door to Holy Spirit’s inspiration. It blinds me to signals the Holy Spirit offers, not only in my thoughts, but through words and actions of others and through events. The ego thinks its boring not to try to make plans and to step back and follow. It believes it would lose control, which it would. That’s a good thing, contrary to the ego’s insistent protests in my mind.

Safety does not come through the ego’s plans. Safety comes with accepting my Home in Love. There is no other safety. Today is another day to practice stepping back and letting Spirit lead the way.

Mary:
Today it is important to remember that “The peace of God is everything I want. The peace of God is my one goal; the aim of all my living here, the end I seek, my purpose and my function and my life, while I abide where I am not at Home.” (Lesson 205. W-pI.205.1:2-3)

Choosing peace and allowing peace to fill my heart and mind is my anchor to allowing the truth to return to my mind. In this inner sacred place of peace, the Holy Spirit is given the opportunity to clear the cobwebs that block clear vision. Choosing peace is the same as handing the reins over to the Holy Spirit. I feel strongly that this is all that I need to focus on today. Then all that I need to remember will be given me.
