LESSON 286:

The hush of Heaven holds my heart today…

“Father, how still today! How quietly do all things fall in place! This is the day that has been chosen as the time in which I come to understand the lesson that there is no need that I do anything. In You is every choice already made. In You has every conflict been resolved. In You is everything I hope to find already given me. Your peace is mine. My heart is quiet, and my mind at rest. Your Love is Heaven, and Your Love is mine…”

I need do nothing… This is an often used term with ACIM students. But do we really have more than mere concepts of what that means? This lesson speaks in harmony with the experience of peace that comes from accepting the Atonement for oneSelf… When we begin to see that what we thought was life, was the dream of death, and what we enjoyed as ‘special relationships’ were really the dream of exclusion and loneliness, we see also that all seeming problems are the same problem~ we think we that we have separated ourselves from our Source and therefore from each other and even split our own mind to attempt to identify with a false identity we made-up ourselves and simultaneously feel the power of the Atonement; that all falsehood has been given answer by the truth…

The peace and joy of Heaven are not far behind… With each forgiveness we offer, we feel the still peace the miracle blesses us with as we Christ’s face, which is our own, replace the ‘other’ with our love…

We were lost in the exile of denying the truth… but now, we deny the denial of truth and feel the hush of Heaven in the still belonging beneath the surface of the apparent reality which is being undone even as we forgive and bless…

What’s more, we are truly realizing the unified purpose of the Self we share. It is easier and easier to trust the ‘wholly certain goal’ and give our effort-ing to the Holy Spirit to use in behalf of the entire Sonship and the Atonement.

For just this instant, join me in breathing deeply into the hush of Heaven, already here, right now…

The hush of Heaven holds my heart today…
