Let Heaven’s Peace and Joy Intensify

Accept God’s peace and joy, and you will learn a different way of looking at a gift. God’s gifts will never lessen when they are given away. They but increase thereby.

As Heaven’s peace and joy intensify when you accept them as God’s gift to you, so does the joy of your Creator grow when you accept His joy and peace as yours. True giving is creation. It extends the limitless to the unlimited, eternity to timelessness, and love unto itself. It adds to all that is complete already, not in simple terms of adding more, for that implies that it was less before. It adds by letting what cannot contain itself fulfill its aim of giving everything it has away, securing it forever for itself.

Receive His gift of joy and peace today, and He will thank you for your gift to Him. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.105.3:3-5;4:1-5;5:6. See also ACIM Lesson 105 Insights.)

Let us thank our Father for His eternal gifts of peace and joy… As we increase our willingness to receive peace and joy, it becomes our gift to everyone… There is no efforting because we remember that God’s gifts are always there for us…

We just need to accept… We let peace in… We let peace light up our mind… We let ourselves receive the truth that peace is everywhere… Joy is everywhere… We let ourselves be carried by God’s continuous and everlasting gifts of peace and joy… We let go and let God’s gifts extend and intensify… We are grateful that this is so.

Heaven’s Justice

You have the right to all the universe; to perfect peace, complete deliverance from all effects of sin, and to the life eternal, joyous and complete in every way, as God appointed for His holy Son. This is the only justice Heaven knows, and all the Holy Spirit brings to earth. Your special function shows you nothing else but perfect justice can prevail for you. And you are safe from vengeance in all forms. The world deceives, but it cannot replace God’s justice with a version of its own. For only love is just, and can perceive what justice must accord the Son of God. Let love decide, and never fear that you, in your unfairness, will deprive yourself of what God’s justice has allotted you. (A Course in Miracles, T-25.VIII.14. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

We all have been given all of Heaven. We all have Heaven in our right mind. We experience Heaven as we are willing to release all the false ideas and beliefs that something else could be real.

The Course tells us that we not only have Heaven, but that we are Heaven. In our confused state of mind, we have lost awareness that we are God’s perfect Love. We are now willing to return to this truth. Our true Self will lead us to the truth as we are willing to step back, be quiet and listen.

Receptivity to the Holy Spirit’s mind healing training brings the experience of true Love, joy and peace… This experience is beyond words… The experience of Love carries with it the awareness that we are the very beingness of Love… Being Love, we automatically extend Love equally to all… We feel and know that this is Heaven’s Justice for us all… We happily choose nothing else…

We Are at Home in God

I was mistaken when I thought I lived apart from God, a separate entity that moved in isolation, unattached, and housed within a body. Now I know my life is God’s, I have no other home, and I do not exist apart from Him. He has no Thoughts that are not part of me, and I have none but those which are of Him.

Our Father, let us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes. For we who are Your holy Son are sinless. We would look upon our sinlessness, for guilt proclaims that we are not Your Son. And we would not forget You longer. We are lonely here, and long for Heaven, where we are at home. Today we would return. Our Name is Yours, and we acknowledge that we are Your Son. (A Course in Miracles, W-pII.223.1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 223 Insights.)

Today our practice is to let ourselves remember What we are and Where we are in truth. We practice letting ourselves remember that we are at Home and safe in God’s holy Mind. We may dream that we are separate, but we cannot make it the truth.

We are safe in Love and we let go of trying to distract ourselves with false image-making of conflict and separation. We would let ourselves become aware of our real Home — our eternal Home. We are Love in the Mind of Love. We rest with God in Love today.

Awakening to Love

We state again the truth about your Self, the holy Son of God Who rests in you; whose mind has been restored to sanity. You are the Spirit lovingly endowed with all your Father’s Love and peace and joy. You are the Spirit which completes Himself, and shares His function as Creator. He is with you always, as you are with Him. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.97.2. See also ACIM Lesson 97 Insights.)

Identifying with the ego and the body as what we are leaves us in a crisis of identity. It leaves us feeling like we are adrift in an open ocean with no sight of land and no way to find solid ground. Yet certainty and safety are available to us right now. We need only identify instead with the truth of What we are — Spirit held safely in the peace of God.

The solution to this identity crisis is simple and radical: Set aside identifying with an image in the world and accept the Truth that we are Spirit and nothing else. This is how we free ourselves from fear and guilt and open to receive God’s loving gifts of peace and joy.

Today we will remind ourselves often that we are Spirit. When we meet or even think of a brother, we will remind ourselves that he is Spirit and one with us in that Spirit. Each time we remember, we take a giant stride forward in our awakening to Love.

Walking with Christ to Peace

Forget not that the motivation for this course is the attainment and the keeping of the state of peace. Given this state [of peace] the mind is quiet, and the condition in which God is remembered is attained.

Where could your peace arise but from forgiveness? The Christ in you looks only on the truth, and sees no condemnation that could need forgiveness. He is at peace because He sees no sin. Identify with Him, and what has He that you have not? He is your eyes, your ears, your hands, your feet. How gentle are the sights He sees, the sounds He hears. How beautiful His hand that holds His brother’s, and how lovingly He walks beside him, showing him what can be seen and heard, and where he will see nothing and there is no sound to hear. (A Course in Miracles, T-24.in.1:1-2;V.3. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

The thought system of separation sees “others” as separate, capable of harm, and deserving of judgment. But Love does not condemn and sees nothing to forgive. The Christ in us sees through forgiving eyes and so is eternally at peace.

To attain peace, we need to shift our allegiance from the belief in separation to the Christ within. As we join hands with the Christ and accept His vision, we see our brothers as wholly innocent and remember that we are innocent as well — and we are at peace.

Today we practice holding Christ’s Hand as we go through our day.

We Are Entitled to Peace Today

You are entitled to peace today. A problem that has been resolved cannot trouble you. Only be certain you do not forget that all problems are the same. Their many forms will not deceive you while you remember this. One problem, one solution. Accept the peace this simple statement brings. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.80.3. See also Lesson 80 Insights.)

Let us today practice accepting the peace that is inherent within us always. Let us practice receiving inspiration from the Holy Spirit with every activity we engage in today.

The ego mind will generate belief in a continuous flow of problems. When we notice ourselves falling into the ego trap, we instead practice opening our minds to receive the peace that we are entitled to. Because we are a child of God, peace is always present. It takes our willingness to accept our true inheritance. As we accept peace, inspiration comes with it. The Light of Truth comes with it. As we accept the peace we are entitled to today, it will be a joy-filled day of extending our innate Love and happiness.

Light and Joy and Peace Abide in You

Salvation requires the acceptance of but one thought;—you are as God created you, not what you made of yourself. Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as God created you. Whatever mistakes you made, the truth about you is unchanged. Creation is eternal and unalterable. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. You are and will forever be exactly as you were created. Light and joy and peace abide in you because God put them there. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.93.7)

Today we accept this truth about ourselves… We stay close to truth today, letting the Light of Truth flow through us with our thoughts about ourselves and about everyone around us… Our innocence is guaranteed by God and we are grateful that this is so.
