Turning a Disturbance into an Opportunity

I am not asked to make a sacrifice to find the mercy and the peace of God.

The end of suffering can not be loss. ²The gift of everything can be but gain. ³You only give. ⁴You never take away. ⁵And You created me to be like You, so sacrifice becomes impossible for me as well as You. ⁶I, too, must give. ⁷And so all things are given unto me forever and forever. ⁸As I was created I remain. ⁹Your Son can make no sacrifice, for he must be complete, having the function of completing You. ¹⁰I am complete because I am Your Son. ¹¹I cannot lose, for I can only give, and everything is mine eternally.

The mercy and the peace of God are free. ²Salvation has no cost. ³It is a gift that must be freely given and received. ⁴And it is this that we would learn today. (A Course in Miracles, W-343. See also ACIM Lesson 343 Insights.)

God created us to be like Him. Everything we, His Son, are He is. Like Him, to fulfill our function, we must receive His gift of Love and give His Love without limit. Giving God’s Love brings us great joy.

If we are not experiencing supreme joy, we have accepted a false identity that denies our unbroken connection with our Creator. Thus, everything that disturbs our peace and joy is a signal that our mind needs healing. It is an opportunity to let the Holy Spirit help us forgive our mistaken belief. His vision will help us see past our misperceptions to the eternal Love that is our true Identity.
