Today’s review idea:
I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
There is no peace except the peace of God.
Let me not wander from the way of peace, for I am lost on other roads than this.
But let me follow Him Who leads me home, and peace is certain as the Love of God.
Once we learn that attack and peace are both of our own choosing, nothing awaits but the choice.
We need not spend years in study, we need not be at the top of our class. People need not turn to hear us speak. We need merely quietly, calmly and consistently choose peace over all else.
It matters not where we go or with whom. It matters not whether we earn or produce. It matters only that we choose always the peaceful response.
Peace begets peace. When you abide within the peace within, you begin to learn to respond peacefully.
Lesson 200 tells us, “Peace is the bridge that everyone will cross, to leave this world behind. But peace begins within the world perceived as different … Peace is the answer to conflicting goals, to senseless journeys, frantic, vain pursuits, and meaningless endeavors.”
Such great love is available to all of us. It is available because this great love is what we are. We need not go out and wrangle peace. We need merely abide here at home, in awareness-life-presence, where peace abides.
