This day I choose to spend in perfect peace…
The choice for perfect peace is the choice for perfect happiness.
The Course tells us that choice for happiness is the choice to desire constancy by giving up inconsistency. It says that if our state of happiness is inconsistent in our experience, it is because we have not truly asked for happiness.
Choosing peace means we keep no conflict for ourselves. I means we give up believing that defense and/or self protection is necessary.
The commitment to peace asks that we consistently suspend our own interpretation, and judge not what surfaces up on the still water of mind given over to Spirit. But rather that we extend a little willingness, having faith that forgiveness and purification are in process.
Experiencing continual happiness, peace and joy are the indicator states that we have held nothing back from Spirit...
The gentle voice of course also lets us know that it is not required that we have no thoughts that are not pure, only that we have none that we would keep….
So, today, we choose to spend in perfect peace and “make no decisions by ourselves”. This means we invite the Holy Spirit to decide for God for us for in each situation that arises.
And ta-da! What we receive is a day of perfect peace~ guaranteed.
~ Sounds ridiculously simple doesn’t it? (Complexity is of the ego ~ not God)
We must desire God’s Will for happiness for us ~ because that is His Will, which we share with Him. And remember, if this were not the case, we would not have even come into being. This means we include all in our love and exclude none.
Love reveals itself as a state of mind that transforms the unbelievable…
Just because our imagination got stuck in the repetitive broken record of mis-identification, doesn’t mean we’re stuck…
Our assignment, should we choose to accept it today, is merely the wholehearted choice for perfect peace… Can we but we must choose it wholeheartedly?
Absolutely…We are not alone. We merely “Choose once again”...
I have been truly blessed to realize a consistent state of peace and joy through constant communion with Spirit… And what I see around me is that within every situation, relationship, or even minor encounter resides the call of peace, for peace.
My perspective as love allows me to experience a view of this so-called life from ‘above the battleground’, as the witness, the dreamer of the dream, which is a state where peace as a continuous state of mind... It demonstrates that a constant choice for peace is possible!
It is by my decision~
This day I choose to spend in perfect peace…
When we are willing, through grace, to surrender every moment to the guidance of Spirit, we are relieved of making decisions by our little selves; relieved from all worry about past and future, relieved of all guilt and the necessity to arrange for our own well-being, in the knowledge that our well-being is taken care of, now, already.
Now is the only time.
The practice of the choice for peace and only for peace brings with it a state of joy as natural to us as breathing… For it is our true identity as God’ Son in constant communion with the Father:
“And so, my Father, would I pass this day with You. Your Son has not forgotten You. The peace You gave him still is in his mind, and it is there I choose to spend today.”
Thank you ~ I love you.
