Return to Truth. Return to Joy.

Robert:
Today we read A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 135 where it tells us that we have no idea the happiness we would experience if we simply accepted God’s plan for us. It reminded me of another lesson which says that God’s Will for us is perfect happiness. So when I attempt to plan on my own, I am denying God’s plan and actually defending against my happiness. That’s the opposite of what the ego would have me believe.

When I look at how I experience a typical day, I see that I attempt to do a lot of planning on my own. Thanks to practicing Course principles, I am happier than I have ever been. Yet when I recognize how much I still attempt to plan on my own, I see that I still limit the happiness I allow myself to experience. I’ve only gotten a tiny taste of the joy Love offers me in every moment.

Though part of me obviously resists, I really do want the joy that is my inheritance. It’s all I really want. And so today I will practice once again being vigilant for Love by being mindful of my state of peace and stepping back whenever I recognize my peace is disturbed in any way. Today is an opportunity to take a giant stride toward perfect happiness.

Mary:
As I go into a place of quiet and listen, I am reminded that in truth we are all in Heaven now. We are all in God’s perfect Light. We are all still in the Mind of God and nowhere else. We have not changed one thing in our wild imaginings. We are all safe and remain as God created us. Remembering this and feeling this brings me to a deep sense of peace and well being. In truth, all is well. There is nothing to fear. The whole ego thought system of individuality in truth is nothing and nowhere.

I am seeing how important it is to stop frequently throughout the day and let my mind return to the truth of our oneness in God. I have great gratitude that what is eternally true can never change. Dreaming of being on a distant shore, apart and separate, does nothing in reality. Love is. God is. Anything “else” is merely illusions and could never be real. My only prayer today is that I let my mind be returned to the truth through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
