God’s peace and joy are mine.
Today I will accept God’s peace and joy, in glad exchange for all the substitutes that I have made for happiness and peace.
Let me be still and listen to the truth.
Let my own feeble voice be still, and let me hear the mighty Voice for truth Itself assure me that I am God’s perfect Son. (W-11.1-2)
If we want to experience the Love that is our inheritance, we need to be willing to quiet our mind and listen to God’s Voice. It is ever present in our mind. Only our mistaken interest in the ego thought system makes us deaf to His Message.
God’s Voice always conveys His Love. But the ego is afraid of Love’s oneness, so it blocks out all thoughts of our true Self which accept that we remain Love, as we were created.
Today we practice frequently pausing to welcome the Holy Spirit’s loving guidance. He will show us the Love that is the truth in every brother. And He will teach us to answer calls for Love with Love. This is how we will claim God’s gifts of peace and joy.
As God’s Son, we have never left the Heaven of His Love. But our wish for specialness has made an alternate ‘reality’ which we have accepted in place of the reality of Love’s oneness. Yet our heart still yearns to respond to Love’s call. It is the call of Truth.
Today we remember that our heart’s desire is to be the Love we were created to be. We accept this reality with the singular purpose of forgiving the wish for specialness. As we learn to forgive its myriad forms, we learn that they all represent the single mistaken belief that we could be separate from our Source.
With this practice, we reach the truth. We gradually remember the life we live in God’s eternal Love.
The world we see is a reflection of our projections of what we believe we are. When we forgive our mistaken belief that we are a separate identity, the world we perceive changes. Thus forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves.
We want to be happy. Each time we forgive a perception of differences, we let the Light we are dispel a barrier that has hidden the presence of Love.
We take another step toward awakening to the Love in which we live. Forgiveness is the way Home.
The key to finding the happiness and peace God wills for us is to lay down our mistaken wish to have an identity we can call our own.
Our true Identity is shared with our Father. We remain united with God, no matter what dreams we may have.
We free ourselves from the dream of conflict and loss, fear and guilt. As we accept the Holy Spirit’s help to see with Christ’s vision, we overlook the world of form and accept the Love of God as our Identity.
With this acceptance, fear and guilt disappear and we remember the joy and peace of our true Identity as God’s Son.
