Willingness to Accept the Gift of Peace

⁸If you will accept the fact that I am with you, you are denying the world and accepting God. ⁹My will is His, and your decision to hear me is the decision to hear His Voice and abide in His Will. ¹⁰As God sent me to you so will I send you to others. ¹¹And I will go to them with you, so we can teach them peace and union.

⁴If you want to have [peace] of me, you must give it. ⁵Healing does not come from anyone else. ⁶You must accept guidance from within. ⁷The guidance must be what you want, or it will be meaningless to you. ⁸That is why healing is a collaborative venture. ⁹I can tell you what to do, but you must collaborate by believing that I know what you should do. ¹⁰Only then will your mind choose to follow me.

⁶The decision to unite must be unequivocal, or the mind itself is divided and not whole. ⁷Your mind is the means by which you determine your own condition, because mind is the mechanism of decision. …¹¹All things are possible through our joint decision… (A Course in Miracles, T-8.IV.3:8-11;4:4-10;5:6-7,11. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The world we see is the effect of our decision. We see a world of conflict, which results in guilt and fear, because we want specialness. Specialness depends on perception of differences and the need to judge what is “right” or “wrong”.

To have peace, we must be willing to accept our unity in God’s Love. His Voice is given us to help us learn to recognize that specialness is not in our best interest. Our judgments deny the reality of Love. Today we focus on willingness to listen to the guidance of His Voice because we want His gift of peace.
