Sharing God’s Peace

The peace of God is shining in you now, and from your heart extends around the world.

The peace of God can never be contained. Who recognizes it within himself must give it. And the means for giving it are in his understanding. He forgives because he recognized the truth in him. The peace of God is shining in you now, and in all living things. In quietness is it acknowledged universally. For what your inward vision looks upon is your perception of the universe.

Sit quietly and close your eyes. The light within you is sufficient. It alone has power to give the gift of sight to you. Exclude the outer world, and let your thoughts fly to the peace within. They know the way. For honest thoughts, untainted by the dream of worldly things outside yourself, become the holy messengers of God Himself. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 188, W-pI.188.3:1;5:1-6:6. See also ACIM Lesson 188 Insights.)

We accept and give the peace of God by forgiving our illusions about the world we see. When we see a world of separate images, it is impossible to experience God’s peace. But as we let the Holy Spirit shine His Light on our perceptions, we see that those disturbing images have no substance. They fade away in the Light, and the peace of God grows stronger in our awareness.

As we accept this peace, we are motivated to extend it by the joy that comes with it. Today is a joyous day to practice letting the Holy Spirit’s Light shine away our misperceptions so that we may recognize God’s peace within and share it with joy.
