Relax into the Love of God

The hush of Heaven holds my heart today.

Father, how still today! How quietly do all things fall in place! This is the day that has been chosen as the time in which I come to under­stand the lesson that there is no need that I do anything. In You is every choice already made. In You has every conflict been resolved. In You is everything I hope to find already given me. Your peace is mine. My heart is quiet, and my mind at rest. Your Love is Heaven, and Your Love is mine.

The stillness of today will give us hope that we have found the way, and travelled far along it to a wholly certain goal. Today we will not doubt the end which God Himself has promised us. We trust in Him, and in our Self, Who still is one with Him. (W-pII.286)

The ego is constantly working to maintain the illusion that it is possible to be separate from God and make a world where everything is disconnected and unity denied. This constant engagement and efforting to make this world is essential to maintain the seeming reality of separation from Love.

The ego is terrified of peace because it is held in our mind through conflict. While we engage in the ego’s view of the world, we feel alone, fearful and guilty because of what we think we have done and others do to us.

Yet it is impossible to do anything that can change the Self God created as His Son. We need to let go and be our Self. To awaken to the certainty of our presence within God’s Love, we just need to stop engaging with the ego’s efforts to maintain the veil of separation. We need to relax our efforts and settle into the quiet peace of God’s Love. In truth we have nothing to defend, for we remain unified with God and His Love.

Today we pause, allow ourselves to relax into the Love of God, where the quietness of Heaven comforts us and Love blesses us with the joy that our unity with every brother in Love brings.
