ACIM Lesson 331
There is no conflict, for my will is Yours.
1. How foolish, Father, to believe Your Son could cause himself to suffer! ²Could he make a plan for his damnation, and be left without a certain way to his release? ³You love me, Father. ⁴You could never leave me desolate, to die within a world of pain and cruelty. ⁵How could I think that Love has left Itself? ⁶There is no will except the Will of Love. ⁷Fear is a dream, and has no will that can conflict with Yours. ⁸Conflict is sleep, and peace awakening. ⁹Death is illusion; life, eternal truth. ¹⁰There is no opposition to Your Will. ¹¹There is no conflict, for my will is Yours.
2. Forgiveness shows us that God’s Will is One, and that we share it. ²Let us look upon the holy sights forgiveness shows today, that we may find the peace of God. ³Amen.
Forgive Our Miscreations
God is Love and Love would not leave us in pain and suffering. There must be a certain way out. So, what is our release from our self-made hell? We are given the Holy Spirit to guide us out and forgiveness to undo what we made. All that we need to do is to look at our miscreations with the Holy Spirit and forgive them. I forgave the idea that my son was endangered and all fear for him fell away.
There Is no Pain
This choice for God left me in peace so that I could enjoy the rest of my son’s visit. Moreover, it reminded me of who I am and who he is. As I was writing this, I suddenly experienced pain in my thumb and up my arm. My first thought was to question what I am doing that caused this, maybe using spending too much time typing. My second thought was that pain is not real. I know this because in Lesson 190 Jesus said this. ³If God is real, there is no pain. ⁴If pain is real, there is no God. (ACIM, W-190.3:3-4) Pain is vengeance and Love is not vengeance, so there can be no pain.
Ending Conflict Once and for All
Remembrance of the truth motivates me to forgive all things that trouble my mind including the belief in pain. I sat with these true thoughts and let them instruct my mind in the truth. The pain dissolved. But more importantly, choosing the truth awakens in me a desire for God that overcomes all ego desires. Choosing God through forgiveness of all ego thinking ends conflict once and for all. This is how I choose the peace of God in every circumstance.
