Minds that are joined and recognize they are, can feel no guilt. ²For they cannot attack, and they rejoice that this is so, seeing their safety in this happy fact. ³Their joy is in the innocence they see. ⁴And thus they seek for it, because it is their purpose to behold it and rejoice.
Perception’s basic law could thus be said, “You will rejoice at what you see because you see it to rejoice.” ²And while you think that suffering and sin will bring you joy, so long will they be there for you to see. ³Nothing is harmful or beneficent apart from what you wish. …⁷The Son of God creates [extends Love] to bring him joy, sharing his Father’s purpose in his own creation, that his joy might be increased, and God’s along with his. (A Course in Miracles, T-25.IV.1:1-4;2:1-3,7. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
Gratitude and joy go hand in hand. When we see something that brings us joy, we are grateful. The greatest source of joy is the eternal, changeless Love of God. Joy comes in sharing this Love. In the sharing, Love extends and joy increases.
Today we ask the Holy Spirit to help us recognize the cause for Love that surrounds us. We live in Love. As the Holy Spirit helps us let go of the beliefs that interfere with the awareness of Love’s presence, our joy increases. We are grateful that we have the Holy Spirit’s help to see the presence of Love everywhere.
