Accepting Peace and Joy

If God’s Will for you is complete peace and joy, unless you experience only this you must be refusing to acknowledge His Will. His Will does not vacillate, being changeless forever. When you are not at peace it can only be because you do not believe you are in Him. Yet He is All in all. His peace is complete, and you must be included in it. His laws govern you because they govern everything. You cannot exempt yourself from His laws, although you can disobey them. Yet if you do, and only if you do, you will feel lonely and helpless, because you are denying yourself everything. (A Course in Miracles T-8.IV.1)

Accepting God’s peace and joy is the same as accepting our true Identity. Today is dedicated to accepting our true Identity, which means accepting everyone’s true Identity. Everyone we meet or even think of today we choose see as one with our Father and our Self. This practice brings with it the peace and joy that is ours forever as God’s creation.

Oneness Is Joy. Separation Is Pain

Share in His Will and you share what He knows. Deny His Will as yours, and you are denying His Kingdom and yours.

What is joyful to you is painful to the ego, and as long as you are in doubt about what you are, you will be confused about joy and pain.

Miracles are in accord with the Will of God, Whose Will you do not know because you are confused about what you will. This means that you are confused about what you are. If you are God’s Will and do not accept His Will, you are denying joy. The miracle is therefore a lesson in what joy is. Being a lesson in sharing it is a lesson in love, which is joy. Every miracle is thus a lesson in truth, and by offering truth you are learning the difference between pain and joy. (A Course in Miracles T-7.X.2:6-7;3:6;8:1-6)

God’s Will for us is perfect happiness. If we don’t experience perfect happiness, it is because we are choosing separation and denying God’s Will that we remain one with Him, and experiencing the painful consequence. The choice to believe we are a separate identity in a world of separation is the denial of our true Will, which we share with God in truth. The antidote to unhappiness would seem to be obvious: Stop denying our Will and God’s, which is to be happy.

But we choose to believe we are separate because we believe that the specialness of individuality offers us something of greater value than God’s perfect happiness. Put that way, this choice seems insane. It is. That is why we need the help of the sanity of the Holy Spirit to lead us out of the insane thought system we have identified with.

To accept the happiness that is God’s Will for us, we need the help of a sane Guide to lead us out of our insanity. This is why the frequent practice of pausing to connect with the peace within and opening our minds to willingly receive Holy Spirit’s inspiration is the path to happiness. This is our practice today.

We Are All Immersed in God’s Peace and Love Right Now

Today we are willing to accept the truth about ourselves. In truth we are united as one in God’s Love. In truth we are one with God’s peace and joy in the eternal Present.

We will accept the truth today and enjoy the benefits of being willing to receive God’s gifts of peace and Love. Inherent in receiving God’s gifts is sharing God’s gifts. Our one true Identity is all there is to see and know and love. With Holy Spirit’s help, we will see past the images of the world to the Love that unites us with all our brothers and all that is real. This is how we will learn to recognize our true Identity.
