The Choice to Be Happy

…pain is purposeless, without a cause and with no power to accomplish anything. It cannot purchase anything at all. It offers nothing, and does not exist. And everything you think it offers you is lacking in existence, like itself. You have been slave to nothing. Be you free today to join the happy Will of God.

[The happy Will of God] is your home, and here your safety is. Here is your peace, and here there is no fear. Here is salvation. Here is rest at last.

Begin… with this acceptance of God’s Will for you:

I share God’s Will for happiness for me, and I accept it as my function now.

Then seek this function deep within your mind, for it is there, awaiting but your choice.

…pause frequently today, to tell yourself that you have now accepted happiness as your one function. And be sure that you are joining with God’s Will in doing this. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 102, W-pI.102.2;3:2-4:3;5:3-4. See also ACIM Lesson 102 Insights.)

Happiness is an attribute of Love. God’s Will is that we have all of His Love; we are included in It and nothing exists outside of His Love.

Pain and the body do not exist. They are constructs of the belief in separation which seems to be possible only in dreams of illusion. The choice for separation is an attempt to limit Love. Because Love cannot be limited, separation is a denial of Love and therefore makes happiness impossible.

Today we take steps to loosen our mind from its dedication to the lie of separation. We choose to reclaim the fact that God’s Will for us is to share His joy. God’s Will for us is to be the Love He is. Our function is to extend the Love we were given and we are, without limit. That is what Love does; It knows no limit. The choice to be happy is the choice to be Love. This is our function and our joy.
