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.)
When we identify with the ego, we are believing that the ego’s alien will is real and can actually oppose God’s Will. But the ego is not real; the belief that it is real is the source of all problems and unhappiness.
The ego is an unforgiving thought; a rebellion against God because He could not give special Love and remain the changeless Love He is. “Forgiveness is the key to happiness.” (Lesson 121) We need to forgive — let go of — the ego’s rebellion against God. This rebellious thought is disguised by many forms in the world.
Believing a brother is a body is a projection of the ego, an attempt to make separation real. The body seems to be capable of myriad forms of attack and justification for guilt. As we let the Holy Spirit teach us that bodies are not real and show us the Love the body hides, forgiveness clears the way to receive God’s Love. His Will for us is perfect happiness (Lesson 101). With His Love, we experience God’s joy as our own because we accept that our will is His Will in truth.
Today we welcome Christ’s vision, which shows us our unity with every brother in God’s Love. With this practice, a happy outcome is assured.
