A happy outcome to all things is sure.
God’s promises make no exceptions. ²And He guarantees that only joy can be the final outcome found for everything. ³Yet it is up to us when this is reached; how long we let an alien will appear to be opposing His. ⁴And 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. ⁵Yet is the ending certain. ⁶For God’s Will is done in earth and Heaven. ⁷We 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. ²Help 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, W-292. See also ACIM Lesson 292 Insights.)
Everyone in this world is searching for happiness. But we will not find it as long as we accept where the ego tells us to look for it. It is not helpful to trust a guide whose singular goal is to avoid happiness. It masks its goal in images that seem to offer momentary pleasure. But since these images are not real, they will not bring us what we seek.
Fortunately we have been given a Guide Whose mission is to lead us to the only Source of true happiness — the Love of God. This Guide is always with us, but we need to be willing to step back from the world of images. We pause and ask for help to reach the peace of God within. It is always there for us. As we ask for help, we open our mind to receive the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
He will bring us His vision that shows us the permanence of Love beyond the impermanence of the images of the world. With His help we will overlook appearances and realize that we live in God’s Love, where we find joy without limit. God guarantees that this joy will never leave His Love. We are grateful He has given us a Guide to remember we live in Love’s presence.
