Now will I seek and find the peace of God.
In peace I was created. ²And in peace do I remain. ³It is not given me to change my Self. ⁴How merciful is God my Father, that when He created me He gave me peace forever. ⁵Now I ask but to be what I am. ⁶And can this be denied me, when it is forever true?
Father, I seek the peace You gave as mine in my creation. ²What was given then must be here now, for my creation was apart from time, and still remains beyond all change. ³The peace in which Your Son was born into Your Mind is shining there unchanged. ⁴I am as You created me. ⁵I need but call on You to find the peace You gave. ⁶It is Your Will that gave it to Your Son. (A Course in Miracles, W-230. See also ACIM Lesson 230 Insights.)
Peace of mind is our natural state. Only our wish for specialness has given us a dream of chaos and conflict. That wish denies the reality of the Love that is our true Nature. Fortunately dreams do not change Reality. We remain united with our Creator and His Love and peace.
The way to find the peace of God within is to accept the Holy Spirit’s help to reinterpret our perceptions. With His help, we can see the dream as having no effect. They only serve a mistaken goal that could never be real.
The desire of our true Self is only to live in Love. That means we accept God’s gift and offer Love to all. We acknowledge that we are eternally united in the oneness of Love. And thus we live in peace.
