My present happiness is all I see.
Unless I look upon what is not there, my present happiness is all I see. Eyes that begin to open see at last. And I would have Christ’s vision come to me this very day. What I perceive without God’s Own Correction for the sight I made is frightening and painful to behold. Yet I would not allow my mind to be deceived by the belief the dream I made is real an instant longer. This the day I seek my present happiness, and look on nothing else except the thing I seek.
With this resolve I come to You, and ask Your strength to hold me up today, while I but seek to do Your Will. You cannot fail to hear me, Father. What I ask have You already given me. And I am sure that I will see my happiness today. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 290, W-pII.290. See also ACIM Lesson 290 Insights.)
The uncertainty, anxiety, pain, fear and guilt that we experience in the world need not be. It is not God’s Will for us. All that we experience in the world is nothing more than the effect of believing that we have succeeded in changing ourselves from what God created. Only in illusion could this seem to be true.
We have already been given the Correction that will dispel the illusion and open our eyes to the present happiness God wills for us. Along with the Correction, God gives us all His strength to help us lay down all false perceptions and beliefs. We are not alone nor can we ever be alone.
Today we choose to accept the Help already given us to let go of the past and welcome the happy present that is already ours. As we choose our present happiness, we bless the world, for the world is one with us.
