The Key to Happiness and Inner Peace

It is not our part to judge our worth, nor can we know what role is best for us; what we can do within a larger plan we cannot see in its entirety.

Whatever your appointed role may be, it was selected by the Voice for God, Whose function is to speak for you as well. Seeing your strengths exactly as they are, and equally aware of where they can be best applied, for what, to whom and when, He chooses and accepts your part for you. He does not work with­out your own consent. But He is not deceived in what you are, and listens only to His Voice in you.

It is through His ability to hear one Voice which is His Own that you become aware at last there is one Voice in you. And that one Voice appoints your function, and relays it to you, giving you the strength to understand it, do what it entails, and to succeed in everything you do that is related to it. God has joined His Son in this, and thus His Son becomes His messenger of unity with Him.

It is this Voice which speaks of laws the world does not obey; which promises salvation from all sin, with guilt abolished in the mind that God created sinless. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 154, W-pI.154.1:5;2-3;4:2. See also ACIM Lesson 154 Insights.)

The key to happiness and inner peace is to let the Voice for God direct all our perceptions, thoughts and doing. We lost our way to happiness when we chose the ego as our guide. it does not know what happiness and peace are and can only offer illusions that offer temporary relief from the painful belief that we have lost God’s Love.

God’s Voice assures us that we cannot lose His Love because He has given It to His Son for eternity. God’s unity with His Son is immutable. Only in dreams does loss seem possible. Our function, given us by God and accepted for us by the Holy Spirit in our mind, is to extend Love to everyone, always. Only with His help can we learn how to do this while we dream of lack of Love.

Today we welcome God’s Voice in our mind. We are willing to listen and let It guide our ways. We want to awaken from the world and accept our eternal place in the Heart of Love.
