Godâ??s peace and joy are yours.Today we will accept them, knowing they belong to us.And we will try to understand these gifts increase as we receive them.They are not like to the gifts the world can give, in which the giver loses as he gives the gift; the taker is the richer by his loss.These are not gifts, but bargains made with guilt. The truly given gift entails no loss. It is impossible that one can gain because another loses.This implies a limit and an insufficiency. No gift is given thus. Such â??giftsâ?? are but a bid for a more valuable return; a loan with interest to be paid in full; a temporary lending, meant to be a pledge of debt to be repaid with more than was received by him who took the gift. This strange distortion of what giving means pervades all levels of the world you see. It strips all meaning from the gifts you give, and leaves you nothing in the ones you take.A major learning goal this course has set is to reverse your view of giving, so you can receive. Forgiving has become a source of fear, and so you would avoid the only means by which you can receive. Accept Godâ??s peace and joy, and you will learn a different way of looking at a gift. Godâ??s gifts will never lessen when they are given away.They but increase thereby.As Heavenâ??s peace and joy intensify when you accept them as Godâ??s gift to you, so does the joy of your Creator grow when you accept His joy and peace as yours. True giving is creation. It extends the limitless to the unlimited, eternity to timelessness, and love unto itself. It adds to all that is complete already, not in simple terms of adding more, for that implies that it was less before. It adds by letting what cannot contain itself fulfill its aim of giving everything it has away, securing it forever for itself. Today accept Godâ??s peace and joy as yours. Let Him complete Himself as He defines completion.You will understand that what completes Him must complete His Son as well. He cannot give through loss. No more can you. Receive His gift of joy and peace today, and He will thank you for your gift to Him. Today our practice periods will start a little differently. Begin
