Make Way for Happiness

When I allow myself to rest in God, I accept perfect happiness. God’s Will for me is perfect happiness. When I look for something in the world to make me happy, for circumstances to be to my liking or anyone to behave the way I think they should, I am denying God’s Will for me. I’m choosing fantasy over truth. Sometimes this choice may bring me something I think I want and I may think I am happy because of it. But because it is a fantasy, it can never last.

My true happiness comes from within because the Love of God is in me. It cannot be found outside because there is nothing outside. Today I will be mindful of when I am looking outside of me for satisfaction or happiness. When I recognize this I will bring that thought to the Holy Spirit and ask His help to see the truth beyond the mistaken idea. This is how I will let go of the grievances that come with thinking I have not found happiness in the world. This is how I make way for the perfect happiness that is God’s Will for me.

I make way for happiness when I am willing to open to the Holy Spirit’s blessings in the present moment. The Holy Spirit is always there waiting to bring me out of the illusions of separation to the truth. Each present moment is another opportunity to accept help from the Holy Spirit. This is my practice for today.

Opening to Love’s Blessing

God is. Love is. There is nothing else. This is the lesson I came to learn. This is why my practice is to learn that I know nothing on my own. This is why my practice is to become as a little child with a mind open to be taught. This why I must let go of the past and let the Holy Spirit replace these false images with the truth. God is. Love is. This is my mantra for today — to remember again and again throughout the day.

I dedicate all my doing today to the service of Love’s expression. This is how I will learn that Love is everywhere and everything. This is how I will learn of the Oneness I share with my Creator. This is how I will accept Love’s blessing.

Complete Protection Surrounds You

This morning I am guided to give time to melting into God’s peace… Here I let go of everything I think I know… I give time to let ego thoughts be gently washed away…

Here I give time to rest in the truth… Here there is quiet… Here there is Love… Here I receive the experience of knowing that complete protection surrounds me… Here I become aware of the many blessings that come with accepting peace…

As I am willing to give time to remembering that I am always safe in God’s Love, I allow the Holy Spirit to do Its healing work. It is always there when I willing to receive Holy Spirit’s healing peace. And for this I give thanks.

Holy Spirit, help me to see every brother through Your vision. With Your help, I will remember that everyone remains Love as Love created them. I ask Your help to release judgments that block this vision from my awareness. The vision that Love shows me reminds me that I am fully protected by the strength of Love and that there is no other strength. With Your help, this I what I will see today.

Forgiveness Offers Everything

Anything that disturbs my peace is reflecting back to me my belief in guilt and separation. Loss of peace is a call for forgiveness, for letting go of judgment. The sooner I am willing to bring any disturbing thought or perception to the Holy Spirit for His gentle correction, the sooner I will return to peace and quiet joy that is my natural state as God’s Son.

Today I will practice mindfulness and bring every disturbance to the Source of truth in me to receive the gentle correction that leads me Home.

Forgiveness offers me rest from the conflict and turmoil of the world. Today forgiveness offers me all that I want. Forgiveness offers all that I need.

Finding Certainty

It’s interesting to observe that I feel unsettled when I don’t have an idea of what the future will bring. This unsettled feeling comes from believing that I must have a plan and it’s up to me to make it. In this mindset, I have excluded Holy Spirit, my true Self. By this exclusion, I have cut myself off from the only Source of stability, from the changeless and eternal.

But the Holy Spirit has never left my mind. It is always present, ready to guide me back to certainty and peace. Holy Spirit, I bring my uncertainty to You and ask Your help to see past it to the certainty You know. I am willing to accept Your Gift. I am willing to see as You see and accept Your purpose for the world. With Your help, I will loose the world from all I thought it was and I will rest in Your gentle peace. In gratitude I receive.

In order to receive Holy Spirit’s gifts, I must be willing to receive the peace that goes beyond this world. I dedicate today to receiving Holy Spirit’s gift of peace. And what I receive I give, for giving and receiving are the same. This is how I can be truly helpful.

Accepting Holy Spirit’s Vision

You look still with the body’s eyes, and they can see but thorns [separation]. Yet you have asked for and received another sight. Those who accept the Holy Spirit’s purpose as their own share also His vision. And what enables Him to see His purpose shine forth from every altar now is yours as well as His. He sees no strangers; only dearly loved and loving friends. He sees no thorns but only lilies, gleaming in the gentle glow of peace that shines on everything He looks upon and loves. (A Course in Miracles T-20.II.5)

How do I join with Holy Spirit’s vision? By being willing to step aside from the ego’s constant chatter of projecting guilt outside. The ego always wants to see separation. I must be willing to move beyond the ego’s chatter and be lifted up to see in a new way. I must be willing to receive and feel the Holy Spirit’s gift of peace that wipes away fearful chatter of the ego. I must be willing to relax into the quiet beingness of peace that comes with allowing the Holy Spirit to be my Guide. I must be willing to rest in this quiet place of peace, cleansed of all the false ideas I thought before. Instead of separation, I am returned to oneness. Instead of fear, I am returned to Love. And for this I am deeply grateful.

Holy Spirit’s vision is the vision of my true Self. When I believe what the body’s eyes show me, I am denying true vision. Vision shows me the changeless strength and Love I share with God. Denial of true vision leaves me feeling weak, vulnerable and fearful. Frustration, efforting, disappointment, unhappiness, all are symptoms of denying true vision.

Holy Spirit, I offer you my thoughts and beliefs that value the images of the world, that deny Your vision. I am willing to exchange them for Your certainty that shows me the strength and Love that is already given me. I claim this strength now and with this strength, I will see with the clarity of Love.

Help Me Remember the Truth

Holy Spirit, help me remember the truth. I open my mind to Your healing Light. I open my mind to receive Your gift of peace. I know that your gifts are already there for me to receive as I am willing to do my part.

Right now I focus on my willingness to open my mind to Your healing Love… My willingness to receive the gift of truth is my focus for today. I must accept the gift of truth before I can extend it. I begin with a willingness to receive Your peace.

If I want to see truly, I must give up projecting guilt. This is why forgiveness is the way Home.

Holy Spirit, help me recognize my projections of guilt and let them go. Help me see the Love that is everywhere beyond the veil of separate images. I know this can be done because false images have no power of their own to hide the eternal Presence of Love. With Your help, I choose the strength of Love today as my Guide in all things.
