Joy Comes by Accepting God’s Will as Ours

A happy outcome to all things is sure.

God’s promises make no exceptions. And He guarantees that only joy can be the final outcome found for everything. Yet it is up to us when this is reached; how long we let an alien will appear to be opposing His. And while we think this will is real, we will not find the end He has appointed as the outcome of all problems we perceive, all trials we see, and every situation that we meet. Yet is the ending certain. For God’s Will is done in earth and Heaven. We will seek and we will find according to His Will, which guarantees that our will is done.

We thank You, Father, for Your guarantee of only happy outcomes in the end. Help us not interfere, and so delay the happy endings You have promised us for every problem that we can perceive; for every trial we think we still must meet. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 292, W-pII.292. See also ACIM Lesson 292 Insights.)

The ego is an impostor offering an alien “will” that is 100% in opposition to God’s Will. It denies everything that is real and can only offer artificial substitutes that will never satisfy our true Will, which is to share God’s joy. When we identify with the ego, we are denying our own true will. We are choosing illusions over truth, empty images in place of the Reality of God’s eternal happiness.

The ego sends us on countless meaningless journeys leading to nothing in the end. Sometimes the images it offers seems to please us, both they never last. Now is the time to choose our true Identity which shares the Will of God. Now we can choose true and lasting happiness.

The Holy Spirit is offering us the vision of truth in place of ego illusions, which blind us to the truth. Together we are the one Self God created as His Son, eternally one with Him. Let us join together in accepting God’s joy by following the Guide Who leads us Home.
