My present happiness is all I see.
Unless I look upon what is not there, my present happiness is all I see. Eyes that begin to open see at last. And I would have Christ’s vision come to me this very day. What I perceive without God’s Own Correction for the sight I made is frightening and painful to behold. Yet I would not allow my mind to be deceived by the belief the dream I made is real an instant longer. This the day I seek my present happiness, and look on nothing else except the thing I seek.
With this resolve I come to You, and ask Your strength to hold me up today, while I but seek to do Your Will. You cannot fail to hear me, Father. What I ask have You already given me. And I am sure that I will see my happiness today. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 290, W-pII.290. See also ACIM Lesson 290 Insights.)
The body’s eyes are blind to the truth. All they are capable of seeing are separate forms, each with its own limits. But Love is one and cannot be limited. God has given us Christ’s vision in our minds to correct the false vision the ego offer through the body. Christ’s vision is always available to us, but we must give it priority over what the body’s eyes show us.
When we give this Vision priority, we see the eternal presence of Love beyond the limitations of the images of the world. The Love we see with Christ’s vision brings with It the happiness that is God’s Will for us, His Son. It is only this happiness that will satisfy us because it comes with the acceptance of our true Self God created as His Son. This Self is Love and nothing else, one with God’s Love. Love is joy. Love is peace that cannot be disturbed. Love is one and sees only Itself.
Today we remind ourselves that we are God’s Son, one with Him, eternally and without limit. We are Love and nothing else. We choose Christ’s vision that we may see the Love we are everywhere.
