Choosing Happiness

Only by fulfilling the function given you by God will you be happy. That is because your function is to be happy by using the means by which happiness becomes inevitable. There is no other way. Therefore, every time you choose whether or not to fulfill your function, you are really choosing whether or not to be happy.

Today, then, let us practice with these thoughts:
Let me not forget my function.
Let me not try to substitute mine for God’s.
Let me forgive and be happy.
(A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 64, W-pI.64.4,6:1-4. See also ACIM Lesson 64 Insights.)

We all have the means to be happy right now. We choose happiness by choosing to let go of believing that we are separate from God’s Love. We have convinced ourselves that we are a separate identity, housed in a body and separate from all other identities. This is a self deception, a lie. Yet belief in it makes a world of separate bodies seem very real.

Fortunately we have the Voice for God in our minds, available to us in every instant. We choose to accept our function when we choose to let go of our own interpretations and let Holy Spirit replace them with His vision. The Holy Spirit, our true Self, sees past appearances to the only thing that is real — Love.

As we accept His vision we choose happiness, for happiness is an attribute of Love. Because Love is changeless and eternal, this happiness is eternal. Changing appearances have no effect on the happiness that we experience when we accept the Love we are.

Today’s practice is to choose the Holy Spirit’s guidance moment by moment.

Make Way for Holy Spirit’s Peace

His Voice awaits your silence, for His Word can not be heard until your mind is quiet for a while, and meaningless desires have been stilled. Await His Word in quiet. There is peace within you to be called upon today, to help make ready your most holy mind to hear the Voice for its Creator speak.

He speaks from nearer than your heart to you. His Voice is closer than your hand. His Love is everything you are and that He is; the same as you, and you the same as He. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 125, W-pI.125.6.2-4;7:2-4. See also ACIM Lesson 125 Insights.)

As making way to receive Holy Spirit’s peace becomes our highest priority, we receive all the help we need. Our path is make straight with no obstacles to bar our way. We follow in the way we are guided, feeling His gentleness and Love… All this comes to us make way for Holy Spirit’s peace.
