My present happiness is all I see.
Unless I look upon what is not there, my present happiness is all I see. ²Eyes that begin to open see at last. ³And I would have Christ’s vision come to me this very day. ⁴What I perceive without God’s Own Correction for the sight I made is frightening and painful to behold. ⁵Yet I would not allow my mind to be deceived by the belief the dream I made is real an instant longer. ⁶This the day I seek my present happiness, and look on nothing else except the thing I seek.
With this resolve I come to You, and ask Your strength to hold me up today, while I but seek to do Your Will. ²You cannot fail to hear me, Father. ³What I ask have You already given me. ⁴And I am sure that I will see my happiness today. (A Course in Miracles, W-290. See also ACIM Lesson 290 Insights.)
When we let Love direct our seeing, we see only happiness. Joy is an attribute of Love, and Love sees only Itself everywhere. We were created by Love as Love. We are innately joyous.
If we are not joyous, we are letting the ego’s denial of Love cloud our vision. This need not be. God offers us all His strength and His Love to support our seeing. We need only accept His help to let our innate joy shine forth. This happiness is always present and cannot be seen while we cover the present with memories of the past.
Today we accept the Holy Spirit’s help to overlook the past and welcome the happy present.
