Accepting God’s Happiness as Ours

Father, Your Son is holy. ²I am he on whom You smile in love and tenderness so dear and deep and still the universe smiles back on You, and shares Your Holiness. ³How pure, how safe, how holy, then, are we, abiding in Your Smile, with all Your Love bestowed upon us, living one with You, in brotherhood and Fatherhood complete; in sinlessness so perfect that the Lord of Sinlessness conceives us as His Son, a universe of Thought completing Him.

Let us not, then, attack our sinlessness, for it contains the Word of God to us. ²And in its kind reflection we are saved. (A Course in Miracles, W-341.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 341 Insights.)

A smile represents a happy mind. God is eternally happy with all His Creation. We are one with Him as His Son, so we share His happy state of Mind.

But when we identify with the ego, we cannot be truly happy because we have denied the Mind of happiness. The ego believes in isolation, separateness. This must mean that the ego does not recognize the one Mind that is eternally happy and is our Source.

To let go of our allegiance to the ego, we need to forgive our mistaken beliefs that we are separate and alone. We cannot see ourselves as different from anything or anyone and know the happiness that comes with Love’s oneness.

Let us join in the goal to recognize our sameness in the Love that is the one Self we share with every brother. We call upon the Holy Spirit to help us learn this important lesson that will put a smile on our face. It represents our acceptance of our place in the Heart of Love.
