Accepting the Peace and Stillness of God

This is a day of stillness and of peace.

Christ’s vision looks through me today. His sight shows me all things forgiven and at peace, and offers this same vision to the world. And I accept this vision in its name, both for myself and for the world as well. What loveliness we look upon today! What holiness we see surrounding us! And it is given us to recognize it is a holiness in which we share; it is the Holiness of God Himself.

This day my mind is quiet, to receive the Thoughts You offer me. And I accept what comes from You, instead of from myself. I do not know the way to You. But You are wholly certain. Father, guide Your Son along the quiet path that leads to You. Let my forgiveness be complete, and let the memory of You return to me. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 291, W-pII.291. See also ACIM Lesson 291 Insights.)

We have a choice of two ways of seeing in the world. We can choose the body’s eyes which show us images founded on the belief that separation is real. Yet the Love of God is all that is real. Love has no form and cannot be limited to an image. Thus what the body’s eyes show us is not real.

The other choice for seeing is Christ’s vision. It overlooks the images the body’s eyes show us. Christ’s vision looks upon the reality of Love. This vision is available to us as we forgive, or let go of, the value we have given the images of the world. Images that are not real can have no value of their own.

That is why Christ’s vision sees a forgiven world where the meaning we have given it has been let go. Now is the presence of Love accepted as all there is. Our brothers are recognized as part of our one Self, united in Love. All conflict has faded away in Its Light. Peace comes to our mind through forgiveness of our mistaken values based on the belief in separation. We rest in the stillness of Love.

Today we ask the Holy Spirit to show us Christ’s vision in place of our perceptions in the world, for we want to know the peace and stillness of God.
