Peace Is Found in Our Identity in God

God’s Name is holy, but no holier than yours. ²To call upon His Name is but to call upon your own. ³A father gives his son his name, and thus identifies the son with him. ⁴His brothers share his name, and thus are they united in a bond to which they turn for their identity. ⁵Your Father’s Name reminds you who you are, even within a world that does not know; even though you have not remembered it.

Repeat the Name of God, and call upon your Self, Whose Name is His. ²Repeat His Name, and all the tiny, nameless things on earth slip into right perspective. ³Those who call upon the Name of God can not mistake the nameless for the Name, nor sin for grace, nor bodies for the holy Son of God. ⁴And should you join a brother as you sit with him in silence, and repeat God’s Name along with him within your quiet mind, you have established there an altar which reaches to God Himself and to His Son.

All little things are silent. ²Little sounds are soundless now. ³The little things of earth have disappeared. ⁴The universe consists of nothing but the Son of God, who calls upon his Father. ⁵And his Father’s Voice gives answer in his Father’s holy Name. ⁶In this eternal, still relationship, in which communication far transcends all words, and yet exceeds in depth and height whatever words could possibly convey, is peace eternal. ⁷In our Father’s Name, we would experience this peace today. ⁸And in His Name, it shall be given us. (A Course in Miracles, W-183.1;5;11. See also ACIM Lesson 183 Insights.)

Our true Identity is in God, Who has no limits, being eternal and infinite. As His extension we, His Son, share all that He is. In the world, words are used to name objects so we can identify what they are. But in God’s Universe there is only one Reality. His Name encompasses All That is, including His extension.

Today we are being called to recognize that God’s Identity is ours. Nothing else exists. God is unlimited and therefore so are we. Today we take time to identify with our Creator and let go of beliefs that we are limited to a body or separate identity. In our true Identity, we find perfect peace and happiness.
