In this world of chaos, destruction and war, peace seems impossible. Yet God promises that peace is possible even here. HE PROMISES. However, your active participation is necessary for this change to occur.
Here is what Jesus says in A Course in Miracles: “BUT IT IS TRUE THAT THE WORLD MUST BE LOOKED AT DIFFERENTLY, IF HIS PROMISES ARE TO BE ACCEPTED”.
A Course in Miracles says there is no world, but it also says God loves the world. It says, “What the world is, is but a fact.” IT IS A FACT. It is not nothing. It is real to anyone who believes in it. The world’s problems are not real, but that is meaningless to anyone who believes in them.
Jesus says in the Course: “Peace is impossible to those who look on war. Peace is inevitable to those who offer peace. It is not the world that makes peace seem impossible. It is the world you SEE that is impossible.”
So we do not seek to change the world, we seek to change our MIND about the world. We choose to see only peace, in each situation, in all circumstances – despite every appearance. Anyone who has ever tried to bring about peace by external means knows the futility of the task. It is impossible. There is no end to the problems here. But a Savior, someone with the ability to bring about the salvation of the world, sees only peace. He sees only the solution. He sees only love. He looks beyond the appearance of the problem (hatred, fear, war) and sees peace. He sees the Love of God shining in every living thing.
World peace is possible. Are you ready to take your place among the peacemakers of the world? Are you ready to join in the solution? Are you ready to usher in a new forgiven world? God needs teachers to speak the truth and extend the light of Heaven on earth that peace becomes possible even here.
