Being a Peaceful Refuge

In the holy instant, you will see the smile of Heaven shining on both you and your brother. ²And you will shine upon him, in glad acknowledgment of the grace that has been given you. ³For sin will not prevail against a union Heaven has smiled upon. ⁴Your perception was healed in the holy instant Heaven gave you. ⁵Forget what you have seen, and raise your eyes in faith to what you now can see. ⁶The barriers to Heaven will disappear before your holy sight, for you who were sightless have been given vision, and you can see. ⁷Look not for what has been removed, but for the glory that has been restored for you to see.

Look upon your Redeemer, and behold what He would show you in your brother, and let not sin arise again to blind your eyes. ²For sin would keep you separate from him, but your Redeemer would have you look upon your brother as yourself. ³Your relationship is now a temple of healing; a place where all the weary ones can come and rest. ⁴Here is the rest that waits for all, after the journey. ⁵And it is brought nearer to all by your relationship. (A Course in Miracles, T-19.III.10–11. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The holy instant is seen through forgiving eyes — Christ’s vision. With this vision we recognize everyone as part of our one Self. Judgment makes division; it blinds us with hallucinations of differences.

Today we choose to let Christ’s vision show us the glory of Creation as we accept the Love that unites us with our brother. As we recognize Love’s presence, we join with our brother to bring peace and happiness to the world. Together we become a refuge for those are weary of a world of conflict and distress. Together we rest in Heaven’s peace.
