Accepting God’s Gift of Perfect Peace

³God’s peace can never come where anger is, for anger must deny that peace exists. ⁴Who sees anger as justified in any way or any circumstance proclaims that peace is meaningless, and must believe that it cannot exist. ⁵In this condition, peace cannot be found. ⁶Therefore, forgiveness is the necessary condition for finding the peace of God. ⁷More than this, given forgiveness there must be peace.

…Is conflict what you want, or is God’s peace the better choice? ⁷Which gives you more? ⁸A tranquil mind is not a little gift.

⁷Forgive the world, and you will understand that everything that God created cannot have an end, and nothing He did not create is real.

⁶Now is the mighty Will of God Himself His gift to you. …⁹The Will of God is One and all there is. ¹⁰This is your heritage. …¹²God’s peace is the condition for His Will. ¹³Attain His peace, and you remember Him. (A Course in Miracles, M-20.3:3-7;4:6-8;5:7;6:6,9-10,12-13)

Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves. It is actually an acceptance of the gift God’s gave when He created His Son. It makes way for us to remember the peace that is our natural state as God’s Son. We need not wait for this gift.

The ego sends us on myriad quests in the search for peace. But peace is never the ego’s goal. It thrives on conflict, so all the ego’s searches are intended to keep us from finding the peace we seek. The best it can offer are temporary moments that seem to be peaceful. But they do not last.

In our mind we have a Guide Who knows the way that truly leads to peace. This Guide not only leads us in the direction of success, It helps us heal our mind of mistaken beliefs which lead us astray. Today we choose the Holy Spirit as our Guide and Helper to find the peace that will help us remember we are God’s Son, and His will for us is perfect peace.
