It is this joining [with the Holy Spirit] that we undertake to recognize today. We will not seek to keep our minds apart from Him Who speaks for us, for it is but our voice we hear as we attend Him. He alone can speak to us and for us, joining in one Voice the getting and the giving of God’s Word; the giving and receiving of His Will.
We practice giving Him what He would have, that we may recognize His gifts to us. He needs our voice that He may speak through us. He needs our hands to hold His messages, and carry them to those whom He appoints. He needs our feet to bring us where He wills, that those who wait in misery may be at last delivered. And He needs our will united with His Own, that we may be the true receivers of the gifts He gives. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.154.10-11)
Today our practice is to join with the Holy Spirit. We want to receive the truth about ourselves. We want to receive the truth about every brother. And what we truly wish for in our heart of hearts we will receive. Our joining with the Holy Spirit is our highest priority as we go through this day.
Choosing to join with the Holy Spirit is choosing to be happy. His Will is God’s Will. And God’s Will for us is perfect happiness. The ego warns that if we join with the Holy Spirit we will be sacrificing our “identity.” But what we will be giving up is a false identity of lack of Love, loneliness and sadness. Is it a sacrifice to give up such an identity in order to receive our true Identity, which is perfect peace and happiness? Our practice today is the choice for happiness.
