I love how A Course in Miracles are simple & practical directives – instructions that I give to myself.
“NOW WILL I SEEK AND FIND THE PEACE OF GOD.” – Workbook Lesson 230
Today’s workbook lesson is a great one: NOW will I seek and FIND the peace of God.
And that’s the end of suffering. That’s the end of pain and problems.
because now … right now … I find the peace of God.
I found what I was looking for!
In peace I was created.
And in peace do I remain.
It is not given me to change my Self.
How merciful is God my Father, that when He created me He gave me peace forever.
Now I ask but to be what I am.
And can this be denied me, when it is forever so?
“Father, I seek the peace You gave as mine in my creation. What was given then must be here now, for my creation was apart from time, and still remains beyond all change. The peace in which Your Son was born into Your Mind is shining there unchanged. I am as You created me. I need but call on You to find the peace You gave. It is Your Will that gave it to Your Son.”
In peace I was created. And in peace do I remain.
I love this practice of allowing myself to be shown what to do, what to say and where to go. This space is always so new. How could I ever know anything? But with me is a Guide who knows the whole Plan. I trust in Him.
It’s like landing in a new school mid-way through the school year and you don’t know who anyone is. You don’t know who your friends are yet. You don’t know what the day is going to look like. You’re just standing there brand new in the new space.
You get to be the new kid on the block.
How merciful is God my Father that when He created me He gave me peace forever!!
The past is gone. Not a trace of it remains.
The “work” of a Teacher of God is to allow the Holy Spirit to remove all traces of doubt, guilt and fear, and that all!
And to be what I am.
Now I ask but to be what I am.
And can this be denied me, when it is forever so?
As a communication channel for the light of Heaven, I only have to be myself as God created me. What could be simpler?
Here is the peace of God.
Here is the function of a Teacher of God: to find that peace today.
Now will I seek and find the peace of God.
I love you.
