There is a peace that Christ bestows on us.

“Father, the peace of Christ is given us, because it is Your Will that we be saved. Help us today but to accept Your gift, and judge it not. For it has come to us to save us from our judgment on ourselves.”
Great Love, Your gift of the peace of Christ is welcome.
As I sit here the word ‘porous’ comes to mind. There are blocks I carry which cause me to judge and resist your gifts. I scan for the blocks, call on them to turn porous. Welcome and accept; welcome and accept; welcome and accept.
Your Love for me is reflected in Your Will for my life. I trust in Love. I am at rest in Your peace.

“… a peace so deep and quiet, undisturbable and wholly changeless.”
I find that every time we work on a home project, I get aggravated which shuts down my conscious mind and my heart. I get mean and so detached that I can’t see it until the next day. Self-righteous, justified, where is this coming from? I would call it nonsense except that I am mean to loved ones.
What is this part of me that so thoroughly covers over the gifts God has bestowed on me? Fear? Control? Ego, what do you think I need protecting from?
I have reflecting to do and apologies to give. Reflecting to remove the clouds and let my gifts shine.
_/\_ Help is appreciated.

(My CAC morning reflection provided a quote by Thich Nhat Hahn. Here is a human who was an example of what this lesson teaches … so peaceful. And he taught how to see with Christ vision!)
Yesterday I went for a walk after doing my lesson work. As I approached the sea, I used my new mantra to remind myself of the new me with new perceptions. (I am worthy of cuddles.) Then my mind brought up something else. I said, “Christ has risen.” (I was referring to internally.)
In my heart I felt it; my mind felt Tricia take a step back.
There’s been a lot of work to love and accept Tricia so this was unexpected. I took the time to feel Tricia in the background and Christ in the lead in my heart. I was OK with it.
