Welcome to active meditation.
A Course in Miracles,
Lesson 105 God's peace and joy are mine.
Think of a person with whom you experience disharmony or conflict.
I'll be silent.
Now,
As you picture them in your mind,
Say to them,
Peace and joy I offer you,
That I may have God's peace and joy as mine.
Peace and joy I offer you,
That I may have God's peace and joy as mine.
Now,
Are you ready to accept the gift of peace and joy that God has given you?
Now,
Are you ready to experience the joy and peace you have denied yourself?
Now,
You can say,
God's peace and joy are mine,
For you have given what you would receive.
Think of some people with whom you are or have had conflict,
Tension,
Discord,
Or disagreements.
As you picture each person,
Say to them,
Peace and joy I offer you,
That I may have God's peace and joy as mine.
Do this now.
I'll wait.
Peace and joy I offer you,
That I may have God's peace and joy as mine.
Now,
Do this now.
You must,
Succeed today,
If you prepare your mind as we suggest.
Or you have let all bars to peace and joy be lifted up,
And what is yours can come to you at last.
So tell yourself,
God's peace and joy are mine.
And close your eyes a while today.
Let God's voice assure you that the words you speak are true.
Spend your five minutes thus,
With God,
Each time you can,
Today.
But do not think that less is worthless,
When you cannot give God more.
At least,
Remember hourly to say the words,
God's peace and joy are mine,
Which call to God to give you what God wills to give and wills you to receive.
Determine not to interfere today with what God wills.
And if someone seems to tempt you to deny God's gift to them,
See it as but another chance to let yourself receive the gifts of God as yours.
Then,
Bless this person,
Thankfully,
And say,
Peace and joy I offer you,
That I may have God's peace and joy as mine.
God's peace and joy are mine.
Peace and joy I offer you,
That I may have God's peace and joy as mine.
Peace and joy I offer you,
That I may have God's peace and joy as mine.
God's peace and joy are mine.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
