The Return to Joy

My holiness is far beyond my own ability to understand or know. Yet God, my Father, Who created it, acknowledges my holiness as His. Our Will, together, understands it. And Our Will, together, knows that it is so.

Father, my holiness is not of me. It is not mine to be destroyed by sin. It is not mine to suffer from attack. Illusions can obscure it, but can not put out its radiance, nor dim its light. It stands forever perfect and untouched. In it are all things healed, for they remain as You created them. And I can know my holiness. For Holiness Itself created me, and I can know my Source because it is Your Will that You be known. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 299, W-pII.299. See also ACIM Lesson 299 Insights.)

The ego is the belief in being alone. It is why the world is a place of loneliness and depression. Joy is an attribute of our holiness and unity with God. But our belief in being alone makes us unaware of our innate joy. Though it will never tell us this, the ego is the choice to be unhappy, frightened and guilty. We can choose once again.

The moment we made the insane choice for loneliness, God gave us the means to return to joy and the eternal unity of Love. His Voice is ever present in our mind, ready to help us remember that our Will is united with our Source. Our Will is to share the holiness of our Creator. His Will that we share His holiness is eternal. When we choose to let the Holy Spirit guide all our thoughts, we choose happiness and peace.

Today we practice offering all our thoughts to the Holy Spirit for His loving transformation which reminds us that we share God’s holiness. It will be a happy day indeed.
