A New Way to See

God’s Answer

I was gifted these thoughts recently. It may be helpful to read WB Lesson 359.

God’s Answer is always some form of peace.
When I choose for peace, then I learn forgiveness.
Since forgiveness is my true function here, I must choose peace first. Choosing peace makes room for the Voice for Love.  Peace makes room for me to hear and receive the truth. Love is always present and peace allows me to be in the present. Peace means I have relinquished the past and have no interest in the future. I stay in the present moment, to give and receive peace.

If I want God’s Answer then I must accept peace. Peace is my only goal. I have no use for conflict in my mind—I move beyond the battle and seek the peace that is an attribute of my Self. God’s Word is written on my heart and I will find it in the peace of the present moment. To have peace I must give peace. Peace is my choice, moment to moment. I choose peace and let all things be as they are. My will is God’s Will, in peace I learn that this is so.

When 2 minds have a common purpose (peace as our one goal) that is a holy relationship. When one minds peace is threatened, both minds will be effected. Let the saner mind then offer the H. Spirit this instant to restore peace, bringing healing to both minds. The goal is peace. In the relationship, we trust that Holy Spirit is our Teacher. We ask for His interpretation whenever our peace is threatened.

—No wonder the ego system is so vigilant against peace!
Peace IS God’s answer—if I’m accepting His answer, then I’m not accepting the ego answer. I’m not accepting fear, pain, autonomy, and guilt.  When I accept peace the value on the world and the separation thought system falls away. I do not keep what is recognized as valueless. Thoughts based on separation are seen as valueless. I change my mind about what I want and my mind changes its pursuit. My mind is changed about its purpose when I choose peace.
The ego does not want these changes,  or my remembering the truth. 

Peace is my only goal.
In peace I am asking to be taught to forgive; forgiveness is the only thing I can learn and teach while in this world. Forgiveness is my purpose here. Let me fill my purpose and be happy.
