Finding Lasting Happiness

[God] has not left His Thoughts. He could no more depart from them than they could keep Him out. In unity with Him do they abide, and in their oneness Both are kept complete. There is no road that leads away from Him. A journey from yourself does not exist.…

Forgive yourself your madness, and forget all senseless journeys and all goal-less aims. They have no meaning. You can not escape from what you are. For God is merciful, and did not let His Son abandon Him. For what He is be thankful, for in that is your escape from madness and from death. Nowhere but where He is can you be found. There is no path that does not lead to Him.” (A Course in Miracles, T-31.IV.10:1-5;11:1-7. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

We all must learn that the world offers us nothing we really want. Eventually we reach a point of recognition that it is futile to search for what we want where it cannot be found. At this point we say in some way, “There must be another way.”

This is our turning point, for at this point, our mind is open to another way we have not tried before. Into this opening the Holy Spirit comes to bring us His vision that shows us where our real happiness can be found. As we become willing to let Him direct our way, we begin to see past the empty forms of the world. We begin to recognize that beyond them is one thing and one thing only — God’s Love.

With this recognition we realize that God’s Love is always ours, for we have not left His Thoughts and He has not left us. Here we can be in peace, for we have found the happiness we always had within.
