All things are given you. God’s trust in you is limitless. He knows His Son. He gives without exception, holding nothing back that can contribute to your happiness. And yet, unless your will is one with His, His gifts are not received.
God’s Will does not oppose. It merely is. It is not God you have imprisoned in your plan to lose your Self. He does not know about a plan so alien to His Will. There was a need He did not understand, to which He gave an Answer. That is all. And you who have this Answer given you have need no more of anything but this.
Become the living proof of what Christ’s touch can offer everyone. God has entrusted all His gifts to you. Be witness in your happiness to how transformed the mind becomes which chooses to accept His gifts, and feel the touch of Christ. Such is your mission now. For God entrusts the giving of His gifts to all who have received them. He has shared His joy with you. And now you go to share it with the world. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 166, W-pI.166.1:1-5;10:1-7;15:2-8. See also ACIM Lesson 166 Insights.)
God has given us everything that will make us truly happy. He holds nothing back. We had the thought that maybe there was something else that would make us happy. This is the ego thought that has led us on a wild chase to find something God did not give us that would make us happy. Since God (Love) is all that is real, the ego’s quest must fail; there is nothing else but God’s gift of happiness.
Recognizing that we have chosen to pursue an impossible fantasy, God gave us the Answer to lead us out of the fantasy as soon as we are willing to give up our denial of His gifts. This Answer, the Holy Spirit, is always on alert, ready to answer our call for help to find a better way. He holds God’s plan for us to lead us back to His gifts of perfect happiness and changeless Love. We just need to place the call with willingness to accept His answer.
As we learn to accept these gifts, the joy we feel in our hearts naturally compels us to share the gifts with all our brothers. Our joy is complete and we know we are at Home in the Heart of our Creator.
