The Choice for Peace and Happiness

This is the only thing that you need do for vision, happiness, release from pain and the complete escape from sin, all to be given you. Say only this, but mean it with no reservations, for here the power of salvation lies:

I am responsible for what I see.
I choose the feelings I experience, and I decide upon the goal I would achieve.
And everything that seems to happen to me I ask for, and receive as I have asked.

 
Deceive yourself no longer that you are helpless in the face of what is done to you. Acknowledge but that you have been mistaken, and all effects of your mistakes will disappear.

It is impossible the Son of God be merely driven by events outside of him. It is impossible that happenings that come to him were not his choice. His power of decision is the determiner of every situation in which he seems to find himself by chance or accident. No accident nor chance is possible within the universe as God created it, outside of which is nothing. Suffer, and you decided sin was your goal. Be happy, and you gave the power of decision to Him Who must decide for God for you. (A Course in Miracles, T-21.II.2:1-3:6. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The ego is dedicated to making it appear that we are victims of forces from an outside world over which we have no control. As long as we believe this we imprison ourselves in a loveless world, alone, weak, fearful and guilty. And the ego smiles with satisfaction. But it is our choice to believe the ego. We have another choice.

We can choose to let the Holy Spirit judge all things on our behalf, instead of giving our belief and power to the ego. The Holy Spirit chooses for our freedom from limitation. His choice for us is always the truth: That we are whole, complete and safe in the oneness of Love. Here harm is impossible and only joy and peace exist. The Holy Spirit knows that there is nothing outside of Love, for only Love is real. When we choose the Holy Spirit to decide on our behalf, we remember our true Self. We remember God. We remember we are in Heaven now.

We dedicate today to accepting Holy Spirit’s judgment in every moment.
