Be happy, for your only function here is happiness. You have no need to be less loving to God’s Son than He Whose Love created him as loving as Himself. …pause frequently today, to tell yourself that you have now accepted happiness as your one function. And be sure that you are joining with God’s Will in doing this.
Happiness is an attribute of love. It cannot be apart from [love]. Nor can [happiness] be experienced where love is not. Love has no limits, being everywhere. And therefore joy is everywhere as well.
God, being Love, is also happiness.
And it is happiness I seek today.
I cannot fail, because I seek the truth. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 102 & 103, W-pI.102.5;103.1:1-5;3:5-7. See also ACIM Lesson 102 & 103 Insights.)
The practice of letting Love be our Guide in all that we do is the practice of being happy. Asking the question, “What would Love do?” is asking for direction to bring happiness to the world. To be happy, we need only be loving.
Judgment, guilt and fear are barriers to the awareness of Love. These attitudes are based on the belief that we have succeeded in separating from Love. This is impossible because only Love is real. It is only belief that makes separation seem to be real.
The presence of fear and guilt is a sure sign that a false belief needs to be corrected. When we ask, “What would Love do?” we ask for the correction of false beliefs that deny Love. As we accept Love’s corrections, we find happiness and bring it to the world.
