To Have Peace, Give Peace

To give [peace] is to receive [peace]. Today we will attempt to offer peace to everyone, and see how quickly peace returns to us. Light is tranquility, and in that peace is vision given us, and we can see. …say:

To give and to receive are one in truth.
I will receive what I am giving now.

…think of what you would hold out to everyone, to have it yours. You might, for instance, say:

To everyone I offer quietness.
To everyone I offer peace of mind.
To everyone I offer gentleness.

Say each one slowly and then pause a while, expecting to receive the gift you gave. And it will come to you in the amount in which you gave it. You will find you have exact return, for that is what you asked. It might be helpful, too, to think of one to whom to give your gifts. He represents the others, and through him you give to all. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 108, W-pI.108.7:3-9:5. See also ACIM Lesson 108 Insights.)

In every moment we have an opportunity. We can choose to believe in the dream of separation and judgment with its accompanying fear and guilt; or we can tap the peace of God within and offer it to our brother and the world. When we are willing to offer peace, to not judge, we experience the peace that is already in us. What we give, we receive.

We need to practice giving peace, moment by moment, if we want to experience peace. We dedicate today to this practice.
