Accepting the Justice of Heaven

Robert: Today we read the section, “The Justice of Heaven” and Workbook lesson 66. For me they really complimented each other. In the reading of the Text we were told that if we try to keep one problem to solve on our own, we are not accepting the justice of Heaven and cannot experience it. To experience the justice of Heaven we must be willing to give up all value of anything in the world of illusions. The ego would teach us that this is asking sacrifice of us. But is it really sacrifice to give up illusion in exchange for reality? Is it sacrifice to give up loss in exchange for the eternal gain of Love?

While I believe myself to be in this world, I need a Guide to find my way out. I must be willing to make no decision on my own. I must not withhold anything from the Holy Spirit’s help. I was trained as an engineer to “solve problems.” It seems very tempting to attempt to solve perceived problems on my own, to fall back into old habits. But each time I do that I am rejecting the justice of Heaven. I am rejecting happiness. It is arrogance to believe that I can solve any problem on my own. It is time for me to let Holy Spirit be the engineer and for me to implement His designs, His solutions. This is the only way for me to find lasting happiness. It is the only way for me to be at peace.

Today I resign as the engineer and gratefully turn over that role to the Holy Spirit, Who knows how to engineer all solutions in a way that everyone wins and there is no loss. I choose to follow the Holy Spirit’s miracle-engineered plans. In this choice is my perfect happiness and perfect peace. I give thanks.

Sharyn:  Today as we read lesson 66, my happiness and function are one and the same, I realized that of myself I can do nothing, nor would I want to. God is Love, peace and happiness. For all of those things, I just need to go to the Source. The Source of Love, peace and happiness is just waiting to fill me with those things and to serve me. God’s happiness is my happiness.

In every situation, when I remember to go to Him for answers, the outcome will always be happiness, for that is all He wants for me. There is nothing else. It is only when I think I know how to handle any situation, and forget to go to Him, that my happiness is not assured. God said, “Happiness is assuredly yours,” and He meant it. Now my only job is to remember to go to my Source for all my happiness.

Holy Spirit through Mary: You want to be of service. You want to be happy. This is how: Ask often, “Right now, this moment, my mind is open and willing to receive Your guidance. What would You have me do right now? How would You have me think, right now?” Then leave an open space in your mind to receive. You will know you are receiving Me when you feel My peace, gentleness and ease. Your job is to follow, not lead. Practice this today and you will have a happy day.
