…sin is not real, and all that you believe must come from sin will never happen, for it has no cause. ³Accept Atonement with an open mind, which cherishes no lingering belief that you have made a devil of God’s Son. ⁴There is no sin. ⁵We practice with this thought as often as we can today, because it is the basis for today’s idea.
God’s Will for you is perfect happiness because there is no sin, and suffering is causeless. ²Joy is just, and pain is but the sign you have misunderstood yourself. ³Fear not the Will of God. ⁴But turn to it in confidence that it will set you free from all the consequences sin has wrought in feverish imagination. ⁵Say:
⁶God’s Will for me is perfect happiness.
⁷There is no sin; it has no consequence.³You are set on freedom’s road, and now today’s idea brings wings to speed you on, and hope to go still faster to the waiting goal of peace. ⁴There is no sin. ⁵Remember this today, and tell yourself as often as you can:
⁶God’s Will for me is perfect happiness.
⁷This is the truth, because there is no sin. (W-101.5:2–6:7;7:3-7)
The belief that we are separate individuals in a world of separate images is belief in sin. If we were indeed separate, there would be “others” capable of intruding on our space or harming us. When we identify with a body we look upon a world where there is potential harm which we would defend against. Fear is inevitable with this belief. But it is a belief that could never be true. This belief makes lasting happiness seem impossible and unreal.
The fact that separation is not real means lasting happiness is achievable because it is God’s Will. We need only forgive the mistaken beliefs that support the wish for separation. With forgiveness, we free our mind to accept God’s Will for us, which is perfect happiness. He shared His joy and Love with us when He created His Son.
Today we reinforce this thought. We are worthy of happiness. There is no cause that can prevent us from experiencing perfect happiness, except our denial of God’s gift. We are grateful for the Holy Spirit Whom we can call upon for help to forgive our fear-based thoughts. With His help, we free ourselves to be as God created us.
