Lesson 273 – The stillness of the peace of God is mine.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

The instructions are crystal clear. All that is needed is the willingness. It is helpful to realize that we don’t have to try, just allow. And we don’t have to be motivated, just willing. We don’t even have to be sincere, though sincerity will greatly accelerate our “progress” — progress back to where we’ve always been 🙂

Therefore, “The stillness of the peace of God is mine” is mine to return to all day today and every day. The stillness of the peace of God is mine — even at this stage of the Workbook, three-quarters through, this can move from imploring to outrage to a quiet statement of fact. That’s okay. It doesn’t change the Truth: The stillness of the peace of God is mine; this peace is our inheritance, our legacy, our nature, our Source. Case closed 🙂

LESSON 273

The stillness of the peace of God is mine.

Perhaps we are now ready for a day of undisturbed tranquility. If this is not yet feasible, we are content and even more than satisfied to learn how such a day can be achieved. If we give way to a disturbance, let us learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. We need but tell our minds, with certainty, “The stillness of the peace of God is mine,” and nothing can intrude upon the peace that God Himself has given to His Son.

Father, Your peace is mine. What need have I to fear that anything can rob me of what You would have me keep? I cannot lose Your gifts to me. And so the peace You gave Your Son is with me still, in quietness and in my own eternal love for You.
